We're
less than 24 hours away from the debut of the Kawasaki Ninja H2 at the
Intermot show in Cologne, Germany, and here's the first real shot of the
supercharged beastie. And yup, it has wings!
With an unending string of teasers,
we finally get a clear view of the H2, and while we can still endlessly
speculate on the size of the blown inline-four, the suspension setup,
or power figures, it's the wings that have our attention.
While
wings aren't anything new on top-tier racing bikes like those found in
MotoGP, the H2 looks to be the first with side wings on a production
bike. But it's not for downforce – it's for cooling.
With
a low-pressure zone forming behind the winglets, each creates a vacuum
which shovels more air towards the front-mounted radiator. This would be
a first on a bike you can ride on the street, and it's going to suck
for the first guy that puts it down. More to come tomorrow, but until
then, here's some dyno hotness:
