Kawasaki has built the motorcycle on a new, redesigned trellis frame to suit the bike's long-haul abilities.

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.

Powering the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX is a 998cc in-line four with supercharger. The DOHC mill makes 200 PS at 11,000 rpm, and 137.3 Nm at 9,500 rpm. Kawasaki has tuned the engine for better fuel efficiency and low- mid range torque. The bike has a efficiency figure of 17.5 km/l. Electronics include Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KCMF). This oversees KTRC (including traction and wheel lift control); KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System), including pitching and corner braking control; and Kawasaki Engine Brake Control. The engine and the exhaust system are approximately 3 kg lighter than the H2.
