The Indian unit of Japanese bike maker Kawasaki, known as India Kawasaki Motors, recently launched the Ninja H2 flagship motorcycle on the April 3rd at the Formula One racing track, Buddh International Circuit, in Greater Noida. Kawasaki received a great boost and fortune when they handed keys of the first ever Ninja H2 model to none other than Indian cricket team captain and wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. According to several reports, the Chennai Superkings skipper bought this bike for a total of around Rs. 34 lakh including things like number, registration and local taxes.
Only five units of Kawasaki Ninja H2 have been allocated in India as it is a limited production model. Interestingly, the Japanese bike maker did not reveal who was the first owner of Kawasaki Ninja H2.
The Ninja H2 is a product and brainchild of Kawasaki Heavy Industries and comes loaded with a large number of amazing features. This bike is fitted with a supercharged engine that has a displacement of 998 cc and features four cylinders. Kawasaki Ninja H2 delivers a high power level of 198 BHP and peak torque of around 140 Nm. Quite incredibly, Kawasaki Ninja H2 can reach 100 kmph from scratch in just 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 320 kmph. The fact that Kawasaki has given this bike its coveted River Mark on the front fairing explains how exclusive Ninja H2 is.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a well-known bike aficionado and he owns more than 25 motorcycles. His love for bikes has been well documented and now that the Indian Premier League is going on, this news is likely to spread quickly. Dhoni’s taste in bikes ranges from the Classic BSA to Ducati 1098, certifying that he is a true-blue motorcycle lover.
