What Happened
For the 2027 model year, Kawasaki has reworked the Ninja H2’s 998cc supercharged four-cylinder. The revised bike produces 209hp and 135Nm and now satisfies Euro5+ requirements, allowing it to re-enter European markets.
Changes extend to the intake and supercharger assembly, the pistons, cylinder head and crankshaft, as well as a single-outlet exhaust. Brembo Hypure calipers and a newer instrument panel join the equipment list; the UK model starts at £28,600 and India has no confirmed launch date.
Why this matters
The changes keep the Ninja H2 eligible for major emissions-controlled markets while preserving its role as Kawasaki’s halo performance bike.
