2018 Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE Review: Supercharged Sport Touring

Kawasaki fans need not worry that the horsepower king has abdicated his throne. The all-new supercharged H2 SX is in showrooms and, yes, it is enormously powerful.

Although a by-product of forced induction allows for improved fuel economy, I’ll wager not too many buyers of the supercharged Ninja H2 SX will have that very high on their priority list.

“That’s nice,” they’ll mutter to themselves as they lean forward behind the bubble, wrench the throttle open, and slingshot over the horizon with an ear-to-ear grin. Please try not to fall off the back.

But there’s a lot more to this executive-express motorcycle than just monster power. Here are the fast facts and what it’s like to ride the 2018 Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE.

1. The H2 is the flagship model of the Kawasaki motorcycle range, and the 2018 H2 SX is the third iteration of the line. The H2 started out as the pure track performance H2R, followed by the streetable sportbike H2. Now, we have the H2 SX real-world sport tourer.

2. The 2018 Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX is a sophisticated, premium sport motorcycle that exudes quality. Its impressive specs, lustrous metallic paint, and the top-quality fit and finish of every detail, show how much effort Kawasaki put into this machine.

3. There are two versions of the H2 SX. In addition to the the standard model ($19,000), there is the fully equipped SE ($22,000). I tested the SE.

4. The SE gets a number of upgrades for its $3000 premium. Here are some of the most important SE-specific features (though some are available for the standard versions as accessories): Quickshifter; steel-braided brake lines; launch control; TFT screen; LED cornering lights; centerstand; taller windscreen; grip heaters; wheels with machining and clearcoat; two-tone seat, 12V socket; knee and tank pads; upgraded graphics,
5. The H2 SX only just squeezes into the sport touring category—and that’s not a criticism. It is a highly capable, high performance sportbike that is a little less committed ergonomically than its street-going H2 sibling. The clean-mounting accessory hard bags ($1230) are a useful addition, but make no mistake, the H2 SX is an enormously powerful sports machine.

6. The Ninja H2 SX is powered by the same 998cc supercharged inline-4 motor as the 300-horsepower (claimed) H2R. Typically, when we find out an engine has been tuned for “more mid-range” there’s an element of disappointment and an expectation that the motor has been watered down. The SX has a higher compression ratio of 11.2:1, 40mm throttle bodies instead of 50mm, and it has been tuned to give massive mid-range boost (101 ft/lbs of torque at 9500 rpm) as opposed to the astonishing peak horsepower of its siblings. Those torque numbers make sure no one feels cheated.

7. The supercharger’s precision forged aluminum impeller has six blades at the tip that merge into 12 blades at the base. They spin at 9.2-times the speed of the crankshaft. The motor is redlined at 12,000 rpm, so at that point the impeller is spinning at 110,400 rpm, with the blade-edges breaking the sound barrier.

8. The H2 SX has improved thermal efficiency and I had no heat issues at all. Heat management is definitely a problem for the H2 and H2R, but not the H2 SX. The in-house designed supercharger does not need an intercooler, as the ram air duct has a direct path and the intake charge is minimally heated. A small hole in that duct allows the rider to hear the distinct chirping of the supercharger when the engine is on overrun.
