Kawasaki
Ninja R2 and Ninja S2
Young
Machine Magazine has rendered an aggressive super sport model and a mean
looking sports tourer, which are believed to be launched by Kawasaki, named
Kawasaki Ninja R2 and Kawasaki Ninja S2 respectively. They are reported to be
powered by Kawasaki H2-inspired
supercharged engines.
The
purported Kawasaki Ninja R2 is suggested to share components/technology with
the H2.
This
is the resurrection of the rumour that started when Kawasaki registered the
name ‘R2’ with the US and other Patent and Trademark offices around the world back
in 2013. The H2 was initially thought to be named the Ninja R2 around the time
of its unveiling, but the dust settled after the flagship superbike was
revealed.
The
Kawasaki Ninja S2 is suggested as the next generation Ninja 650.
The
Japanese media house claims that the Kawasaki Ninja S2 will feature a
supercharged 650 cc parallel-twin engine. This, if comes to reality, would
rival the production version of the Suzuki Recursion concept
unveiled at the 2013 Tokyo Auto Show which hosts a 588 cc parallel-twin
turbocharged engine.
