Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which bike's better is Kawasaki H2 SX or Hayabhusa?
  • Both the bikes are good in their own forte. The third-gen Suzuki Hayabusa is now treading a different path than its predecessors, one that is more sporty and less hyper-touring. Its glorious purpose has changed from making you want to go fast in a straight line to make you want to go fast everywhere. It wants to attack corners, it expects you to hustle, it demands you to stay vigilant. It masks its weight well and is even a good commuter. On the other hand, Powering the motorcycle is the Ninja H2's second-generation supercharged in-line four engines that generate 200PS of power at 11,000rpm. However, Kawasaki claims that the motor has been tuned to offer a smoother delivery with better low to mid-range tractability. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -2021 Suzuki Hayabusa: Road Test Review.
Q. Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE or BMW s1000rr, which bike is best in terms of mileage, top speed, drag race and long race. Which bike of these will provide me better experience to buy?
  • Both the bikes are good in their forte. The H2 SX is powered by a supercharged, inline four-cylinder engine that generates 200PS of power at 11,000rpm. Kawasaki claims that the engine has been tuned to offer smooth power delivery and better low to mid-range tractability. On the other hand, BMW has also made the new bike a tour-de-force with respect to performance. While it isn’t as revolutionary as the first-generation bike, the new motorcycle is a well-rounded product and is among the best liter-class superbikes on sale in India and globally. The S 1000 RR is among the most friendly and accessible bike in its segment and it’s a good option for someone upgrading to a liter-class superbike. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort.

Q. What is difference between standard H2 SX STD and SE?
  • I’m rebuilding a 1972 Kawasaki H2 and having difficulty locating a new used fuel tank my question is did Kawasaki ever use the H2 fuel tank on any other models and if so would it match up to the original H2?
  • The Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX gets a revised price of Rs 22.89 lakh for the current year. That’s a difference of a little over Rs 1 lakh compared to the previous price of Rs 21.80 lakh. Similarly, the Ninja H2 SX SE also get a price revision and now retails at Rs 28.19 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom) The H2 SX and SE are essentially touring-focused versions of the manic Ninja H2. As a result, they sport similar design cues, albeit with a larger fairing that covers the engine. The rear, however, has received some changes to offer better pillion comfort and to mount panniers, including a redesigned, smaller exhaust canister, which is now placed closer to the ground. As this is a tourer at heart, the fuel tank capacity has gone up to 19 litres, which is 2 litres more than the H2. The windscreen has also received a slight redesign and now sits more upright for better wind deflection. Further affirming its touring traits, the clip-on handlebars are positioned higher while the footpegs have been pushed slightly forward for a comfortable riding posture. In terms of features, the LED headlights and the instrument cluster are carried over from the H2. Other features include cruise control and cornering-based electronic aids. On the contrary, the H2 SX SE features a full-colour TFT display, LED cornering lights, launch control and a bi-directional quick shifter.
