Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX to be showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo - Report

Autocar reports that Kawasaki may showcase its supercharged sports tour, the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX at the 2018 India Auto Expo in February.

Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX made its global debut at the 2017 EICMA Show in Milan, Italy. The H2 SX is a touring oriented take on the legendary Ninja H2. Kawasaki has engineered its Balanced Supercharged technology with a focus on real-world street use rather than outright speed. There are two variants, the standard and the SE variant. The SE model comes with TFT multifunction instrumentation; LED cornering lights; Kawasaki Launch Control mode; Kawasaki Quickshifter (up and down), and a slightly bigger windshield as well.
