2027 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Loses 31 HP to 197 HP Under New Emissions Rules

Does a supercharged bike actually ride differently from a regular naturally aspirated one?

Losing power for regulation compliance can't be helped. If anything, the era of brute-forcing high output with a supercharger is winding down.

Iconic machines getting defanged by regulations... I guess the H2's subject to the times too.

So they used the same exhaust and catalyst as the Z H2 SE to pass regulations. Kept costs down by skipping dedicated development.

Dropping from 228 to 197 is a 31hp loss? That kind of undermines the point of the supercharger.
