Kawasaki has issued a press release which announces its 2017-model H2 is now available in Australia.
It’s a fairly minor update – the supercharged machine which wowed the world back in 2015 is cutting-edge stuff, so there’s not much Kawasaki can really update..
This is Kawasaki’s closed-circuit-only H2R
The exhaust has been changed to meet Euro 4, the electronics and rider-aids package has been made more precise with a Bosch IMU (this unit includes adding new instrument functions), the quickshifter now incorporates downshifts and there’s a new rear shock – an Ohlins TTX unit.
Price is $36,700 plus on-roads.
