2018 Kawasaki H2 SX SE & Ninja ZX-10R SE available

Complementing the original Ninja ZX-10R and the track-focused Ninja ZX-10RR, Kawasaki have introduced a new high-grade edition to its litre-class supersport line-up for 2018.

2018 Kawasaki ZX-10R SE

The Ninja ZX-10R SE features Kawasaki’s new, highly advanced electronic suspension – Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension or KECS for short, which was jointly developed with Showa, to offer the perfect ride regardless of the conditions. KECS combines ride data with road conditions to adapt to riding conditions with every millisecond that passes, and offers a switchable experience meaning you can ride regular poorly surfaced roads to the track in comfort, then switch to a firm sporty mode for the track.

2018 Kawasaki H2 SX SE

Kawasaki’s 2018 H2 SX SE also available now

Kawasaki’s new sports-touring supercharging offering introduces a balanced supercharged engine delivering a maximum power of 200hp, and while the H2 SX’s engine looks the same, it is essentially new. The impeller and intake system were completely redesigned; the pistons, cylinder head, cylinder, crankshaft and camshafts are new; throttle bodies are new; exhaust system is new; and gear ratios revised.

The versatile engine character enables relaxed long-distance riding, easy manageability at slow speeds and the exhilarating acceleration that only a supercharged engine can deliver.

2018 Kawasaki H2 SX SE

The Ninja H2 SX’s fuel efficiency represents a significant increase over the supercharged engine of the Ninja H2, and is on par with that of the Z1000SX and Versys 1000. Combined with its 19 litre fuel tank, this gives the Ninja H2 SX a substantial cruising range.

The Ninja H2 SX features an innovative redesigned trellis frame able to accommodate a
passenger and luggage, with a 195 kg payload. The increased rigidity and longer wheelbase
deliver the stability for riding at highway speed with panniers, while a 30-degree steering angle
facilitates low-speed manoeuvres.

2018 Kawasaki H2 SX SE

The 2018 Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE further includes the following additional features, and is available in Australia through special premium Kawasaki dealerships now.

LED Cornering Lights: Each of the three lights, built into each side of the fairing, has a fixed direction and is activated based on lean angle (10, 20, 30 degrees). As the bike leans over, the lamps come on inorder, creating a wider path of light in the direction the bike is heading.
TFT Display: Kawasaki’s first use of a high-grade full colour TFT LCD screen features on the SE model, with two selectable display modes (Touring or Sport) to allow riders to prioritise the information they want to see.
KLCM (Kawasaki Launch Control Mode) electronically controls engine output to prevent wheel spin and minimise wheel lift when launching on the SE model.
KQS: The SE also features a dual-direction quick shifter allows both clutchless upshifts and downshifts. Designed foreffective sport riding, street-optimised settings enable operation at rpm above 2,500 min-1.
The Kawasaki H2 SX SE also includes steel braided brake lines, machined wheel spokes with clear coat and a rear hub coupling with machined finish.
The SE is available in Emerald Blazed Green / Metallic Diablo Black.
