Supercharged Kawasaki H2 SX<br />
gets radar and SPIN<br />
The H2 range from Kawasaki is famously four-cylindered, famously 999cc<br />
and famously supercharged. Now, its SX touring variant gets famous for<br />
being the first Japanese motorcycle to feature the Bosch radar guidance<br />
system, the same as that currently used on BMWs, KTMs and Ducati’s.<br />
Except, where the others represent it as simply a box on the motorcycle’s<br />
front, Kawasaki has given it some style.<br />
The H2 SX stays at 999cc with a supercharger pushing a comfortable<br />
200hp and sneezing delightfully every time the throttle is closed at high<br />
revs, but now it has the option of adaptive cruise control that will base the<br />
speed of the motorcycle on what is in front of it.<br />
It will also be able to have blind spot sensors and emergency obstacle<br />
avoidance systems.<br />
Also new on the <strong>2022</strong> H2 SX is the SPIN entertainment system, whereby<br />
the TFT screen mirrors what is shown on your cell phone, essentially<br />
creating a supercharged Google Maps system.<br />
And it will still look like an alien wanting to devour whole species, just now<br />
with more sophistication.<br />
Price and availability are still unknown.<br />
