The highly advanced, compact IMU enables inertia along 6 Degrees of Freedom to be monitored. Acceleration along longitudinal, transverse and vertical axes plus roll rate and pitch are measured. The yaw rate is calculated by the ECU using Kawasaki’s proprietary dynamic modeling software. Kawasaki’s dynamic modeling software utilizes the Bosch® IMU as a source of input then processes the input to provide electronic rider aides that support the rider’s intentions while maintaining seamless performance. This next-level system enables predictive and adaptive electronics for precise chassis orientation awareness.

Tokyo, August 10, 2018—Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced today that it is launching new and improved 2019 models of its flagship motorcycles the Ninja H2 and Ninja H2 Carbon.*1 They will be released in select markets starting August 10, 2018. In addition, it is launching the 2019 model of the track-only Ninja H2R, more fully featured than ever. It will likewise be released in select markets starting August 10, 2018.

All three are supreme hyper-performance sport models developed to prove the collective strength of Kawasaki Group technology, where engines supercharged by a Kawasaki-made supercharger enable for acceleration beyond belief.

From the street monobloc caliper lineup of Italy’s Brembo, Kawasaki chose the latest and greatest, the Stylema, for the front brake. The Stylema is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, the M50, while also improving braking performance.

The instrument panel uses a full-color thin-film-transistor (TFT) LCD screen to display information functionally. It has a scrollable multifunction window and four selectable display modes. Riders can visually display needed information according to the riding conditions and their preferences, including supercharger boost pressure, throttle position, braking efficiency, and linear acceleration. The screen also adjusts its brightness automatically in response to ambient brightness for high visibility.

Team 38, an independent racing team made up of Kawasaki engineers and test riders, will be in the United States with the Ninja H2 to compete in this year’s Bonneville Speed Week motorsports event held at the Bonneville Salt Flats from August 11th through 17th, where they will enter the P-PB 1000 class.*3 The well-recognized event, where motorcars and motorcycles gather to challenge world speed records, has a history stretching back more than 100 years. Kawasaki first entered the event in 1967 with the A1R*4 and broke existing world records in two classes. After 51 years, Kawasaki aims to set a world speed record again.

According to the Bosch survey nearly 90 percent of riders use their smartphone to prepare or follow-up on trips. One third puts themselves in great danger using their smartphone even while riding. Bosch has developed the smartphone integration solution mySPIN to make the usage of smartphone content safe and more comfortable. Available in the powersports segment since 2018 – this includes for example so-called all-terrain vehicles or personal watercrafts – in BRP vehicles, mySPINnow will be introduced in the motorcycle segment for the first time. Ducati will introduce it together with Bosch’s also new 6.5-inch connectivity display without the split-screen option. “We want motorcyclists to be able to access smartphone content in an integrated and easy way while riding their bike. With the mySPIN platform and integrated connectivity cluster, we have found the right way to do it”, says Vincenzo De Silvio, Research and Development Director at Ducati. From 2021, the solution will also be introduced by Kawasaki.

In 2018, Kawasaki distinguished itself from Honda and Yamaha by bumping displacement of its entry-level sportbike up from 300cc to 400cc with the introduction of the Ninja 400. Team Green has thrown down the gauntlet again with the 2023 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR KRT Edition, a new track-focused sportbike.

At its heart is a new liquid-cooled, DOHC 16-valve 399cc inline-Four, which adds two more cylinders than the Ninja 400’s 399cc parallel-Twin. Developed with input from Kawasaki’s Ninja ZX supersport machines, the engine has an oversquare bore and stroke of 57.0 x 39.2mm and is said to deliver impressive power and a claimed peak of 26.5 lb-ft of torque at 11,000 rpm.

Equipped with throttle-by-wire, the Ninja ZX-4RR features four ride modes (Sport, Road, Rain, and Rider customizable) that adjust traction control (Modes 1-3 or Off) and power mode (Low or Full). It has a 6-speed transmission with a slip/assist clutch and an up/down quickshifter. Up front is a 4.3-inch color TFT display that includes a Circuit Mode for track riding and Bluetooth connectivity via Kawasaki’s Rideology The App.

Designed using input from Kawasaki Racing Team’s (KRT) efforts in the World Superbike Championship, the Ninja ZX-4RR’s chassis consists of a high-tensile steel trellis frame with various pipe diameter thicknesses, a swingarm pivot section, and a high-tensile steel swingarm. Up front is a 37mm inverted Showa SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork – Big Piston) fork with adjustable preload and 4.7 inches of travel, and out back is a fully adjustable horizontal back-link Showa BFRC (Balance Free Rear Cushion) Lite shock with 4.9 inches of travel.

The 2023 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR KRT Edition has aggressive styling with all-LED lighting and a Lime Green/Ebony color scheme. It has an MSRP of $9,699 and will be available this spring.

All right, so you want to go far but you also want go fast, and you need some carrying capacity and comfort while doing it. Asking the world, aren’t we? Maybe your supersport days are behind you, although not too far, and only street riding is on the menu now. Ah, friend, then you’re looking for a true sport-touring machine like the 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX.

Now, let’s complicate this further. You also want IMU-supported cornering ABS and traction control, ride modes, cruise control, an up/down quickshifter and a full-color TFT display. Those amenities are easy to come by on the upper end of the sport-touring segment, where MSRPs have risen without remorse. But you’re not like most customers; you want it all at a reasonable price.

The Ninja 1000SX is a machine that’s received continual honing on the engineering whetstone with subtle but crucial updates, and now, it’s been refined to a sharp point. This year, engineers focused on improving throttle response, handling, suspension, and rider and passenger comfort, while also tossing in an up/down quickshifter, cruise control and a TFT display…with only a $200 increase in the list price.

Kawasaki’s Bosch IMU-supported rider aid package is up to snuff with the best of them, featuring cornering ABS (KIBS) and lean-angle-sensitive traction control (KTRC). Save for a bit of overzealous ABS intervention while trail braking in corners, those systems work as intended. TC can be disabled in the Rider mode, but ABS cannot, per Euro 5 requirements.

While on the subject of electronic doodads, we can speak about the 4.3-inch full-color TFT display that indicates everything you could ever want, along with maximum lean angle and brake pressure, for a bit of extra fun. It also supports Bluetooth connectivity. Tech savvy riders will be interested in Kawasaki’s Rideology app, which once paired to your bike features a riding log complete with your route, trip and bike telemetry data. Owners can also customize motorcycle settings as well.

Long-distance riders will undoubtedly grumble about the lack of a centerstand. Currently, Kawasaki doesn’t offer one, but I say toss a jack stand in the bags and pack a plug kit.

Where Kawasaki goes from here with the Ninja 1000SX is something of a conundrum. Save for remedying a few minor quirks, the evolution of the SX is complete. Totally reinventing the SX will undoubtedly drive the price higher, upsetting its appealing cost-to-benefit ratio. For 2020, Team Green has taken a good sport-touring machine and made it a great one, while also ensuring that it’s still one of the best overall values in the segment.

The Ninja® ZX™-10R supersport bike is built for those who rise to the challenge. Hailing from the proving grounds of the FIM WorldSBK Championship, the Ninja ZX-10R is the direct result of decades of world-class road racing innovation, carrying Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) rider Jonathan Rea to six consecutive championship titles. Our experience on the track has led to a potent 998cc four-cylinder engine, a race-optimized chassis and an innovative electronics package. Push your limits aboard the Ninja ZX-10R.

NEXT-LEVEL TECHNOLOGY: The highly advanced, compact IMU enables inertia along 6 Degrees of Freedom to be monitored. Acceleration along longitudinal, transverse and vertical axes plus roll rate and pitch are measured. The yaw rate is calculated by the ECU using Kawasaki’s proprietary dynamic modeling software. Kawasaki’s dynamic modeling software utilizes the Bosch® IMU as a source of input then processes the input to provide electronic rider aides that support the rider’s intentions while maintaining seamless performance. This next-level system enables predictive and adaptive electronics for precise chassis orientation awareness.

SPORT-KAWASAKI TRACTION CONTROL: Hybrid predictive/feedback-type evolution of the highly sophisticated traction control system helps racers push harder by maximizing acceleration. Five modes enable a greater range of feeling for specific track conditions and riding preferences. Updates to Modes 4 and 5 offer a more rider-friendly characteristic while cornering.

KAWASAKI CORNERING MANAGEMENT FUNCTION: Input from the IMU enables cornering management which assists riders in holding their intended line through the corners on the track.

ADAPT TO THE ROAD: Integrated riding modes link Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) and Power Modes to offer varying traction control and power delivery settings to suit different riding conditions. Sport mode enables sporty riding for tracks or back roads. Road mode covers a wide range of typical riding situations. Rain mode delivers reassurance over wet road surfaces. Four available rider modes (manual) offer custom combinations to better suit preferences.

CHAMPIONSHIP-PROVEN POWER: The 998cc four-cylinder engine of the Ninja® ZX™-10R supersport was designed to win championships. Based on feedback from Kawasaki"s WorldSBK race machine, an air-cooled oil cooler increases cooling performance for strong engine performance at all rpm. Gear ratios are optimized for track riding and offer quick low-mid range acceleration. The Ninja ZX-10R is built for those who rise to the challenge.

WORLDSBK INSPIRED: Valve train inspired by Kawasaki’s WorldSBK engineers is an example of top-level racing technology. Finger-follower valve actuation enables a higher rev limit and more aggressive cam profiles – both contributing to high-rpm performance.

BEYOND NORMAL: Kawasaki next-level electronics bring the extraordinary power of the World Superbike-winning Ninja® ZX™-10R motorcycle to stunning new levels.

KAWASAKI LAUNCH CONTROL MODE: The 3-mode system is designed to help racers optimize acceleration from a stop. Kawasaki Launch Control Mode (KLCM) manages engine output to minimize wheelspin and front wheel lift off the starting line.

MORE CONVENIENCE: Kawasaki Engine Brake Control (KEBC) allows riders to set engine braking according to preference while the electronic cruise control allows a desired speed to be maintained with the simple press of a button.

KAWASAKI QUICK SHIFTER: The dual-direction Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS) system facilitates acceleration by allowing clutchless upshifts and downshifts while on the track. Designed for more effective sport riding, KQS can also be used on the street when the engine is above 2,500 rpm.

DIGITAL LANDSCAPE: All-digital TFT (thin-film transistor) color instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance and visibility. The screen’s background color is selectable (black or white), and screen brightness adjusts automatically to suit available light. Display functions include: digital speedometer, gear position indicator, upshift indicator, odometer, dual trip meter, fuel gauge, cruising distance, average fuel consumption, outside temperature, water temperature, clock, economical riding indicator, IMU indicator, KIBS indicator, boost pressure and boost temperature.

As an option, you can order this TFT pre-assembled onto a breakout/carrier board. The board allows easy prototyping through its 0.1" headers. You can also include the carrier board in your end product to simplify construction and assembly.

This development kit includes everything needed to get started with the 3.5" EVE module: a 320x240 display mounted on an EVE2 graphically accelerated PCBA, a Seeeduino, an EVE breakout board, jumper wires, USB cable and a ribbon cable. We even assemble this kit and pre-load some demonstration software so that you can have a functioning module in your hands within seconds.

Because the display module includes an EVE (embedded video engine) chip, it"s a perfect choice for an HMI. EVE is a graphics controller solution that can control both display and audio operations. Additionally, Bridgetek/FTDI supports the EVE chip with graphical design toolchains to aid in development.

This kit consists of a CFAF320240F-035T a 320x240 3.5" Full Color TFT LCD module mounted on a carrier board (CFA-10074). The carrier board supports a current driver for the LED backlight of the display.

This TFT LCD display module is perfect for the designer who"s looking to have a graphic and audio processor already embedded in the display unit. Powered by an FTDI/BridgeTek FT810 Embedded Video Engine (EVE) graphics accelerator chip, simply send over a few commands via SPI or I2C and the EVE will put your stored image up on the display. Need to draw a line, create dials/knobs/buttons, or rotate an image? Send a handful of bytes and the EVE will take care of it.

This is a balanced supercharger meaning the intake fins can be modulated to vary the amount of air going into the inner fins that compress the air going into the combustion chambers. Check out Kawasaki’s video showing this concept.

A new Kawasaki air filter costs $27. There are some excellent reusable aftermarket ones made by Sprint out there that don’t even need oiling as a K&N one does, but they aren’t cheap at $239 USD.

I did notice the clutch fluid darkening in the reservoir over time. Other owners on the H2SX Facebook forum did too and some went to the dealer to ask about it. It’s not harmful and doesn’t require changing until scheduled down the road according to Kawasaki. I’ve had no clutch issues of any kind.

The bike has inclinometers on it to track yaw, pitch and lean angles on six axes. It can show you these angles on the TFT display, but it’s difficult to watch as you scrape your knee on the road through corners.

All this tech definitely made me a more confident and capable rider in the twisties and I managed a 38 degree lean as my highest measurement turning left according to the bike’s display. You don’t even realize all these safety features are working, you just feel that the bike can be pushed harder on roads which used to be challenging to ride on.

I’m so glad Kawasaki had the wisdom to include it. I used the hell out of it gratefully which increased my riding time substantially. I easily can ride 700 miles per day thanks to it and my top day was close to 900 miles.

I especially enjoy how when you turn the key on the H2 symbol appears briefly as if to say, you’re a member of this exclusive society. When you shut the key off the screen flashes “Kawasaki” and then wipes it off the screen before powering down.

The bright TFT display on the right is big enough to read at any speed and available in four different incarnations including reversing the black background with white numbers to a white background/black numbers set up as is seen below.

Touring and three-sport display settings give you a myriad of different information you would want and many you wouldn’t expect. I tend to use the touring one the most because I like to see the range left on the bike the most and it isn’t available in any of the sport modes, unfortunately.

On my big ride to Dawson City I was traveling up with a 2016 Triumph Tiger 800 most of the way and I never ran out of gas before it did once. Typically when it ran out I still had 30 miles left or more from what the display read. Very impressive I think!

The Kawasaki One Key System costs $54.95 and is well worth it to program the locks on the luggage to work with the ignition key. It wasn’t difficult to install or program using small metal gates that insert into the lock’s tumbler. All told it took me about an hour and a half to install the mounts for the luggage on the bike and program the One Key System.

The Kawasaki KQR hard bags (Kawasaki Quick Release) for this bike are the same ones used on the Versys 1000, so they’re proven and reliable, but how will they fare on this lightning bolt of a bike you may ask?

It’s disappointing there’s no tank bag or top box/tour pack to fit this bike from Kawasaki available. What a huge oversight on what is most definitely the best high speed touring bike available!

For all the technology found on the Ninja, it lacks the ability to link your phone to the TFT display. This would be very handy for displaying GPS data and directions as you can on some other touring bikes.

You’ll still get Kawasaki Corner Management Function (KCMF), Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC), Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS), Kawasaki Engine Brake Control and cruise control but no quick shifting, TFT display, heated grips, cornering lights, center stand, touring quality seat, premium emerald green paint or the higher end two-tone rims.  Some of the missing SE options can be added to the base model though, but for me it’s still worth getting the SE instead.

It’s not totally fair to compare the FJR, Ducati or the BMW with the Ninja as they just can’t keep pace with the Kawasaki from a power perspective. Nothing really does offer the same combination of performance and comfort.

I had a great opportunity to test ride my friend’s 2015 Kawasaki H2 recently while he took my SX for a whirl. I loved seeing these two relatives parked beside each other and couldn’t resist the photo op.

Even the dash is very industrial on it and the control switches for signals, horn or anything else is small and seemingly only there in the most basic sense of the word. Update: Kawasaki just announced the 2019 H2 will have a TFT display.

On the other hand, I think anyone who spends some quality time as I have with the Kawasaki H2SX SE will agree it needs serious consideration as the Motorcycle Of the Year for 2018. It definitely gets my vote.
