2019 Kawasaki Ninja H2R has been launched in India for INR 72 lakh. The price will not attract any additional taxation or registration charge as H2R is a track-legal bike with no scope for the rider to use the same on public roads. It does not comply with the sound and emission norms of streets and highways, which further means that the owners will need a subscription of a towing service or get themselves a pickup truck with enough space to load this 2070mm long motorcycle. The 2019 variant is priced INR 2.20 lakh higher than the older variant, bringing a couple of upgrades worth consideration.
If you are wondering why to buy this INR 72 lakh machine when you can get your hands on 2019 Ninja H2 for INR 34.50 lakh, this mighty track machine is 22kg lighter and offers a total of 326 hp at 14,000 rpm. It weighs just 216 kg, making it much more powerful in terms of power to weight ratio than the celebrated Koenigsegg One:1. Ninja H2R now uses self-healing paint layer on the Mirror Coated Matte Spark Black shade and brings a colored TFT display. The upper cowl of Ninja H2R brings carbon fiber wings for more downforce generation. Ninja H2R rivals BMW HP4 Race in India.
