Kawasaki Ninja H2R Embodiment as Drag Bike

Kawasaki Ninja H2 has made its appearance as the first ever Supercharger engined motorcycle in the motorcycle history. Releasing this motorcycle would be like a skipjack for the manufacturer. The firm has introduced two versions under the same model Ninja H2, a street-based version and another one is track-legal version. After a month of ruffling and releasing various teasing videos, the firm has displayed the Supercharged engine motorcycle at the EICMA motorcycle show, Milan, Italy. The track-legal version of the showcased motorcycle is named as Kawasaki Ninja H2R and it is priced at 50,000 USD (Rs 31 Lacs).

As, this is a track-legal motorcycle, the firm has announced that it would get manufactured on order only, as this is a limited edition product. And, now the Kawasaki is making it a high-toned motorcycle by customizing it as a Drag Bike and named it as Kawasaki Ninja H2 Hybrid. The newly introduced Hybrid motorcycle will be ridden by the 11 times champion of the Motorcycle Drag Racing; Rickey Gadson. In order to make this a Drag Bike, the motorcycle has gone through some physical changes.
