Kawasaki announces updates for Ninja 250 and Ninja H2 CARBON

Kawasaki has announced updates for two of its motorcycle models scheduled for release around 2027.

The 2027 Ninja 250 will feature a 248cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine designed to balance performance and handling. Key technical updates include a lightweight Trellis Frame, an Assist & Slipper Clutch to improve gear shifts and prevent rear-wheel lockup, and improved thermal management via a patented radiator fan guard. The model will be available in Pearl Robotic White × Metallic Magnetic Dark Gray.

Additionally, the flagship Ninja H2 CARBON is set for a Japanese market introduction in spring 2027. This supercharged model will feature an enhanced 998cc parallel-four engine optimized for increased low-to-mid-range torque while maintaining high-RPM acceleration. Hardware upgrades include Brembo Hypure brake calipers, KYB front suspension, and Öhlins rear suspension. The bike will also integrate advanced electronics, including updated riding modes and a redesigned instrument cluster.
