Kawasaki Ninja H2R With NOS! Ready To Rip The Streets

The Kawasaki Ninja H2R is one helluva performance bike that the Japanese built to showcase its prowess on two wheels. It was the first mass-produced supercharged bike of its kind that gave customers 310 bhp at their disposal. Such is the performance on offer here, that very little is left to the imagination. However, a group of engineers in Japan have decided to take matters a notch up with this monster, by fitting not just one — but two! NoS tanks – to the Kawasaki Ninja H2R. So, let’s get into the thick of things and the upgrades made to the bike.

Starting with the centrepiece – the dual-canister nitrous oxide system. Now, while the stock Ninja H2R engine is designed with a low compression ratio of 8.5:1 to accommodate its supercharger, the inclusion of this nitrous system significantly increases the oxygen content in the combustion mixture. Which in turn will potentially boost the power output beyond the bike's already impressive stock 310 bhp output. While the exact output figures are not available, this boost will be available for short bursts of speed though. 

To monitor these changes, the owner has installed a custom LCD boost gauge on the handlebar. While it's unclear if this gauge can actively control boost pressure, it is most likely tp provide real-time pressure readings which is crucial for managing the enhanced power output.

Heat management is addressed through a free-flow exhaust system featuring a wide-diameter end pipe. This modification allows for quicker expulsion of exhaust gases, helping to control the extreme temperatures generated by the upgraded engine. In the video below, you can also see the glowing red downpipes, indicating the system's effectiveness in handling the increased heat output.

Although not visible, the intake system is also believed to be modified, possibly incorporating a high-flow air filter to complement the other performance enhancements.

These modifications substantially alter the motorcycle's performance characteristics from its stock configuration. While potentially increasing power and speed, such extensive changes also introduce additional complexity and potential risks in operating the vehicle, especially at high-performance levels. But are we impressed? No doubt.
