Rickey Gadson’s Custom Kawasaki Ninja H2
This one-of-a-kind Ninja H2 hybrid was customized for ultimate drag-strip performance by 11-time Kawasaki Drag Racing champion Rickey Gadson, in conjunction with Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Adams Performance. It was designed specifically for Rickey Gadson to meet certain drag racing specifications.
The 296hp superbike features a new ‘Strong Arm’ swingarm from Adams Performance, increasing wheelbase from 56.5 inches to 67.5 inches for increased traction and stability off the start line. Other upgrades include a carbon-fibre BST rear wheel, a JRI rear shock used on Gadson’s race bikes, and a handlebar-mounted air shifter for push-button upshifts. The H2 drag bike also swaps the original mirror-finish paintwork for a more traditional Kawasaki green finish. The custom bike recorded a quarter-mile time of 8.213 seconds with a speed of 166.48mph at Rockingham Dragway in North Carolina.
