The existing highly acclaimed Supercharged Ninja H2 and Ninja H2R machines are now joined by a third even more exclusive model in 2017, the Ninja H2 Carbon.

Limited to just 120 available worldwide in 2017, the Carbon model of the Ninja H2, as its name suggests, features a Carbon Fibre upper cowling as well as other features that mark it out as special – even in this illustrious company.

Resplendent in a new paint scheme that is just as eye catching yet different to the two existing Ninja models, the Ninja H2 Carbon also has a new take on the famous Kawasaki “river mark” emblem on the front of the cowling as well as the adoption of an IMU offering six levels of machine attitude measurement.

Using the IMU at its core the range of electronic rider aids is impressive with Kawasaki’s cornering management function as part of a suite that also includes traction control, launch control, intelligent anti-lock brakes and even a bank angle readout as part of the meter display.

Equipped with its stunning trellis style frame, handling and braking are dealt with by top quality components on the Ninja H2 Carbon with KYB AOS-2 front forks plus Brembo M50 calipers and braking package while, at the rear, a top spec Ohlins TTX shock absorber with remote adjustment ensures perfect handling.

Euro4 compliant and available with an accessory Akrapovic carbon fibre bodied silencer, Ninja H2 Carbon accessories also include a Kawasaki Ergo-Fit reduced angle handlebar kit and different size handlebar weights.

Sure to be popular not just for its rarity value but also for its awesome performance, the old saying was never more pertinent for the Ninja H2 Carbon, “be quick or it will be gone!”…

Yep, I purchased one. Have a look in the Gallery and you will see the carbon fibre. Suspension was set up for me before I took possession of the H2C and its great, no further adjustment needed. The paint job is strange as it changes with lighting conditions, one minute it looks black, the next it's grey then it can look like the other half's diamond ring, all sparkly. The green frame took me a day or so to get used to but it really suits the bike, glad it's green now. They comment on the IMU which is very good but when your sphincter muscles are in action the display is the last thing you want to look at. As for the Euro4 compliant exhaust, I think it's great and do you know why? For years I had loud bike and took no notice of the load machinery around me, now I have tinnitus which is a cost too much to pay. If I wanted everybody to notice how cool I am I would have purchased a noisy Harly! So, I say grab one if you can, in fact grab any H2, you won't be disappointed.

Looking at some of the advertising for the 2019 Carbon they are still going on about only 120 to be made. From the number of Carbons turning up I think there will actually be 120 built for the entire production life of the H2.

This is possibly the reason why no numbered badge in the 2018. KHI probably did't sell as many in 2017 as they thought and you cant put a numbered 2017 badge on a 18-19 model. So few 17's went to the UK & USA so where did the rest go, I got the only one in New Zealand and Australia only has a few so that doesn't even bring the number sold to 20, so there is about 100 missing. If you own a Carbon then it probably will be unique. The production number on mine is #266 and as a Carbon #78 , so anybody have more info on H2 production numbers by year?

I know there is 3, 2017 carbons in my country. With 5 million citizens in total for the country.
I got one of them.

So I don't think 120 is unrealistic.
I think Germany got a lot of them.
And around 40-50 in total for Europe (only a guess)
There are also a lot in Japan.

Here is the truth, you keep it with 0 km and get a good resale value, I ride mine 1000km per month and when my wife sells my estate the price she gets for my H2 will be a little less but has given more pleasure to me that cannot be valued. At my age I have seen people keep 0 k bikes and they never get the investment back in true value terms, just bragging rights and a conversational piece, nowhere near the joy of riding it!

Here in ny country we got something called registration tax and VAT.
So...
When I buy a bike for $30.000 it will cost me another $65.000 just to put a number plate on it, because the registration tax is so high.
And yes I've paid $95.000 for my Carbon.

I'm getting my number plate this upcoming March.
So excuse me that I have not put any mileage on it yet.

It's true we get charged 38% in tax.

But even so our salary is really high.
So it compensates for the high tax.

The only really expensive think in Denmark is vehicles and public transport.

We could keep talking about the economy.
Facts are that countries get run by different peoples in different ways.

I kinda like the way my country is.
It creates stability and I don't have to ever worry.

But it's true.
It kinda sucks when you have a passion for bikes.

And supercar are near impossible to buy.

What's it like to have the Socialists take away your individuality and if you want to be different they tax you to ****. All sounds good but when your immersed in it your 360 degree view is not the real world. I would rather have the system we have than take my aspirations from me and conform to the socialist ideal. My wife spent here good years where the government was her first call for help and she said it dumb's down people, makes them subservient.

So is there protests about the high tax for vehicles or the population take it it on the chin because the ever loving ever benevolent governments says it's for the good of all?

Sorry to be so harsh but history is a good teacher of how this type of government ends and it's not good.

I would say, rego your H2 and enjoy it.

I guy said to me once when I was thinking about buying my H2, 'when you fly somewhere far away would you want to fly first class or would you rather later that your children did.'

Help them yes but I intend to spend as much of my money I can and without some leach of a government trying to have a suck of the sav as they say down here.

Gurlo! You certainly must have a ton of passion, because that's a ton of money! I live in Canada, purchased a 2018 H2C for $40K OTD. No free college/university, but good beer and healthcare.

No government is perfect everyone has their flaws
But let me tell u this
No where else in the world are people constantly trying to migrate to as hard as to America.
Yea America is far from perfect but it’s fhe best place for overall lifestyle.

I’m not saying it’s right but where else in the world do u get away with half the stuff people get away with here lol
Sometimes it’s a bad thing but for most part it’s a luxury.
I will say that the traffic laws are more civilized in Europe and people adhere to them
More then here in the states.
Also Europe has better overall food cuz government doesn’t. Allow as many GMO into the population.
But that’s why USA used to be called wild Wild West lol

Back on topic
The government imposing insane taxes on these luxury vehicles or motorcycles is straight robbery
In Dominican Republic a car that cost $84000 Mercedes suv in states
Dominican Republic charges $184000 for the vehicle.
That’s insane taxes n fees
Same thing for a jet ski
In states $14000
Dominican it costs $26000

Governments are corrupt all over the world.

When u buy a h2carbon in states for $40,000 shipping is not gonna cost you $10,000-$20,000
That’s just greeed
