Kawasaki has updated its flagship Ninja H2 and H2R models for 2017 with a new electronics package featuring a Bosch five-axis IMU, similar to that used in the latest ZX-10R. The bikes' rear suspension has been updated with a new Ohlins TTX shock with remote preload adjustment, and a different linkage with an updated leverage ratio that contributes to a "firmer, more stable feeling." The brake and clutch levers have been made more aerodynamic, with rounded edges and a shorter length. 2017 Ninja H2R First Look | Ninja H2R First Look | Ninja H2R Image GalleryCourtesy of Kawasaki
