If you've been saving up your pennies for a shiny new 2026 Kawasaki Ninja H2 ABS, Ninja H2R ABS, or a Ninja H2 Carbon ABS, then you probably already know that Team Green only opens a limited-time ordering period for this very special trio once a year.
So, if you've been waiting for the 2025 window to open, you'll probably also be happy to know that the wait is over. In the US in 2025, the open ordering period started on September 2, 2025, and will run all the way through Halloween, October 31, 2025. That gives you nearly two entire months to get your orders in for your 2026 model year Kawasaki Ninja H2, H2R, or H2 Carbon.
It's been slightly under a decade since Kawasaki introduced the H2 family. With the rising prices of everything (not to mention tariff-related uncertainty), you could be forgiven for expecting the prices for these bikes to be completely out of hand. Surprisingly, they're less so than you'd think. Let me explain.
I'm not saying they're inexpensive; they're clearly not. The least expensive bike in this lineup is the 2026 Kawasaki Ninja H2 ABS, and the MSRP is US $32,700. Clearly, that's not a bargain bike.
However, when you compare it to pricing back in 2017, the standard H2 was already going for $28,000. Pricing between then and now has gone up by less than $5,000 per model, which is honestly less than you might expect, given trends in other areas and with other vehicles.
The 2026 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Carbon ABS carries an MSRP of US $36,200; the 2017 Carbon was $31,000. Finally, the top of the line 2026 Kawasaki Ninja H2R ABS goes for $59,100. Back in 2017, the H2R went for a cool $55,000.
If you're looking to get your hands on one, you can either visit your local Kawasaki dealer, or check out the website to request a quote on the H2 flavor of your choosing. Which one's your favorite, anyway?
