suncoaster Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 No price for Australia yet, it'll be here late January or early February. I reckon $30,000 AUD. https://kawasaki.com.au/shop/motorcycles/supersport/2018-ninja-h2-sx-se/ 2018 Ninja 1000 is $16,399 AUD. (Tracer in 2015 was $16,000.) The H2 was $55,000 AUD.

Insurance would be a killer too! Riding a fully-farkled 2019 MT-09 Tracer 900 GT from my bayside home in South East Queensland, Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Tracer in 2015 was $16,000.)The '18 Ninja 1000 is $12k here, which is a relative bargain as it packs a ton of features (everything except CC). The test ride I took left me very impressed with everything except the sporty ergo's. Bar risers, a custom seat and adjustable rear sets would be a must for me at 6'-1". ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted December 2, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted December 2, 2017 I’ve got to admit that I really like it. Probably not enough to part with the cash, but I definitely do like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo1000 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I don't know , it looks like a sport bike with bags on it. Don't look comfortable at all, I wouldn't trade my FJ for that !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted December 6, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted December 6, 2017 Motorcycle.com briefly posted a first ride review of the H2 SX yesterday, but apparently it was embargoed and they had to take it down. They said the SX is surprisingly comfortable, although definitely on the sport end of sport-touring. Passenger accommodations were not horrible. The only negative thing they noted was some engine heat. At the end they said, "This might be the best motorcycle Kawasaki has ever made," which is quite a statement. I have to admit I'm intrigued.

tex929rr Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 2018 Ninja 1000 is $16,399 AUD.

The test ride I took left me very impressed with everything except the sporty ergo's. Bar risers, a custom seat and adjustable rear sets would be a must for me at 6'-1". I sold my ‘12 Ninja 1000 for my FJ. If it hadn’t started to eat its transmission I’d still be riding it. Even at 5’8” I found my knees bent a tad much for long haul touring, but besides that the bike was amazing. It weighed 50 pounds more than my FJ but never felt like it. I don‘t how much differently the engine is tuned for the Versys, but if it’s even close to the feel of the Ninja that’s an excellent compromise between sport and comfort. We live in an era with a multitude of riches for sport touring choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
