Now, reintroduced for the 2027 model year, the latest iteration of the famous Ninja H2 proudly takes its place as an evolution of Kawasaki’s supercharged flagship refined for today’s riding environment. Updated in many key areas, the unique Ninja H2 now delivers even greater mid-range torque plus a distinctive high-rpm acceleration sensation all combining to create an exotic formula.

At the heart of these impossible-to-ignore machines is the engine and – although outwardly similar to the previous model – there are myriad changes. As example, the impeller and intake system represent a complete redesign; the pistons, cylinder head, cylinder, crankshaft and camshafts are new; throttle bodies are new; exhaust system is new and gear ratios revised. With maximum torque delivered at 8500rpm and a peak power (with Ram Air) of 209PS, the Ninja H2 is truly a distinctive rider focused performance machine.

As with the previous model, a trellis frame offers a balance of stiffness and flexibility enabling a very high level of stability plus the Ninja H2 becomes the first Kawasaki model to adopt Brembo Hypure front brake calipers. These offer a lightweight design while providing high rigidity and linear response. The new exhaust system features optimised pipe diameters and a redesigned pre-chamber layout and compact silencer, resulting in a lighter system that contributes to increased low to mid-range torque.

For the rider environment, things also change in terms of the meter panel and elements of functionality. The updated instrumentation offers two selectable display types. Type 1 features a layout inspired by the silhouette of the air ducts, while Type 2 features enhanced boost and aviation-inspired lean/attitude displays. Naturally there are a suite of rider aids including revised KTRC traction control and KLCM launch control plus many others as well as Smartphone connection via Kawasaki’s Rideology App.  

Naturally, suspension is the highest quality with KYB AOS-II at the front while, at the rear, an Öhlins TTX36 shock contributes to stability. Additionally, alongside the standard machine, the limited-edition Ninja H2 CARBON is once more available featuring a carbon-fibre upper cowl made from high-rigidity, lightweight CFRP (Carbon-Fibre Reinforced Plastic).

And as if that were not enough, the 300+ horsepower track-only Ninja H2R is still available on an order only basis for those that seek the best of the best.  2027 certainly seems to be shaping up to be not just a super but a truly supercharged year for Kawasaki. 

These machines will be arriving in the UK in VERY limited numbers at the end of the year, therefore we suggest speaking to your local Kawasaki dealer as soon as possible to find out more about securing your purchase. The Ninja H2 is priced at £28,600, the Ninja H2 Carbon will cost £31,350, and the H2R £52,000.

2027 Colour for both Ninja H2 and H2 Carbon:

Mirror Coated Spark Black  

The Ninja H2 and H2 Carbon feature the following electronic rider aids:

• KCMF (Kawasaki Cornering Management Function)
• KTRC (Kawasaki TRaction Control)
• KLCM (Kawasaki Launch Control Mode) 
• KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System)
• KQS (Kawasaki Quick Shifter)
• Kawasaki Engine Brake Control
• Öhlins Electronic Steering Damper
• Electronic Cruise Control

• Monthly payments from as low as £49.99 [1]

• Offers available from 1st September to 30th September 2026

Royal Enfield is thrilled to confirm that throughout September, the entire Guerrilla 450 – including the all-new Apex variant – can be secured with 0% APR Representative finance across both PCP [1] and HP [2][3] agreements.

For riders looking to finish their summer riding in style, just visit a participating Royal Enfield dealership between 1st September and 30th September 2026 to take advantage of this limited-time offer, making the Guerrilla 450 more affordable than ever with monthly payments from as low as only £49.99 on PCP [1] finance deals.

Launched in April, the Guerrilla 450 Apex features lowered aluminium handlebars and a forward-leaning riding position for a sportier stance. It includes 17” Vredestein Centauro ST tyres for enhanced road-biased grip, refined Street and Sport modes with mode retention, and updated styling – including Apex Red & Black colour options, rim tapes, a sculpted rear seat cowl, and a colour-coded front cowl.

Additionally, a new colour variant is available for the Guerrilla 450 in Twilight Blue, alongside Shadow Ash.

About Royal Enfield

• Game Mode On: Reimagine motorcycling through a retro gaming-inspired lens

• Entries for digital and hand-drawn art are now open, with 7 global winners receiving an all-expenses-paid trip to Motoverse 2026 in Goa – and their creation brought to life in an immersive real-life physical/digital showcase

• Registrations close 21 October, and winners announced on 5 November 2026

Bruntingthorpe, UK, August 28, 2026: Royal Enfield today announced the return of its global creative platform, #ArtOfMotorcycling (AOM), for its sixth season.

What began in 2020 as a grassroots initiative has evolved into a worldwide cultural movement. In 2025 there were over 52,000 registrations from 12 countries across the globe, all imagining a world of art, motorcycling, and cinema.

This year’s theme, Game Mode On, invites illustrators, graphic designers, and creators to reimagine the thrill of motorcycling through the nostalgic lens of retro gaming.

Inspired by the 16 and 32-bit gaming eras, Season 6 challenges artists to immerse themselves and put forth their creative renditions with Royal Enfield motorcycles into a virtual universe, showcasing their love for the brand Royal Enfield. While retro gaming aesthetics provide the creative starting point, the narrative remains entirely open; whether illustrating a pixelated road trip, a futuristic cityscape, or a fantastical quest, participants have complete freedom to blend gaming aesthetics with their own unique artistic voice. Submissions can be either digital or hand-drawn.

UK submissions for the 2026 edition fall under the following category:

• The Adults Edition (Global): Open to creators across the UK, India, APAC, LATAM, and North America. Accepting both digital and hand-drawn creatives, entries will first be shortlisted regionally before advancing to the global stage. A Global Winners category will recognise the best international works, while a Riders’ Choice award will let the Royal Enfield community vote for their favourite designs on social media.

The Ultimate Reward: Regional and global juries will evaluate the entries across multiple stages. The final seven Global Winners will receive a sponsored trip to Motoverse 2026 in Goa (November 27–29), where their imagined gaming worlds will be brought to life in an immersive, ‘phygital’ (physical and digital) showcase.

Key Dates for Season 6:

• August 27, 2026: Registrations open

• September 11, 2026: Jury revealed & entry submissions begin

• October 21, 2026: Registration window closes

• November 5, 2026: Winners announced

How to Enter: Participants can register and download the official design toolkit via the #ArtOfMotorcycling section on the Royal Enfield website. Completed entries must be submitted on the website and can be shared on Instagram by tagging @royalenfield and using the hashtags #ArtOfMotorcycling and #AOMGameModeOn.

Careful consideration has been given to capture the pleasant, rumbling engine character afforded by the 233 cm3 air-cooled 4-stroke SOHC single cylinder engine. Thanks to linear power delivery and ample torque throughout the rev range, especially in the low- to mid-rpm range, the W230 will sit well in the 2027 Kawasaki range offering comfortable acceleration with a pleasant pulsating sensation, which is further bolstered by an internal engine balancer for smooth overall acceleration. And to heighten the senses, the exhaust note is fine-tuned to produce a deep bass sound and pulsing sensation when accelerating.

The rider-friendly engine character is complemented by a compact, lightweight chassis offering both comfortable cruising plus light, predictable handling and styling that speaks to the heart of anyone who appreciates classic motorcycles. The W230’s looks continue the W series’ proud tradition of elegant styling and proportions with numerous present-day touches contributing to a well-rounded personality.

To make the W230 light and to facilitate handling for a wide range of riders, the frame is slim, compact and lightweight making the machine highly accessible for both new and returning riders, while details like a classic seat design, steel fenders, teardrop fuel tank, retro meters and spoked wheels contribute to their timeless beauty and an authentic feel that riders notice immediately.

Appealing to the unquenchable appetite for retro style machines with modern engineering and build quality, the W230 will sit proudly alongside a comprehensive variety of machines in the 2027 Kawasaki range assured of their modern classic status.   

The 2027 W230 arrives in August and will be available in Ebony, priced at £4,654

• Richard Hammond and Redditch Mayor Susan Eacock perform unveiling

• Classic 650 125th Anniversary Limited Edition displayed with historic machines

Redditch, England: Date 23/06/2026: Royal Enfield, the global leader in the mid-size motorcycle segment (250cc–750cc), has celebrated the brand’s historic British roots in Redditch, England, with the installation of a ‘World Origin Site’ plaque, marking the legacy of Royal Enfield’s first factory location in this 125th anniversary year.

The unveiling took place at the site of Royal Enfield’s Hunt End Works, on what is now known as Enfield Road, with motoring journalist and TV personality Richard Hammond joining Redditch Mayor Susan Eacock; flanked by members of the local community, Royal Enfield staff, Riders Club members and surviving workers from the original Redditch manufacturing plant.

Commenting on the unveiling, Richard Hammond said

“My heart lies with two wheels, motorbikes are my private passion and as a local boy by birth, growing up nearby to this area, it’s a great pleasure to mark this World Origin Site celebrating Royal Enfield; a longstanding, proud brand that rings with familiarity around the world and continues to honour the workers that laid the foundations here in Redditch.”

Founder of World Origin Site, Martin Wilkie said:

“It’s just a wall in Redditch today, but 125-years-ago, somebody did something that changed the world and we’re here to mark the exact spot.”

Royal Enfield motorcycles from five generations lined Enfield Road, highlighting the brand’s title as the oldest motorcycle brand in continuous production, with a legacy spanning 125 years. From the modern ‘Project Origin’ replica of Royal Enfield’s first motorcycle, launched in 1901, to a fully restored first edition 1932 Bullet, the iconic model that began Royal Enfield’s journey to manufacturing in India and is still in production today.

The 2026 Royal Enfield Classic 650 125th Anniversary Edition, was also displayed to represent a lineage that began with the first Royal Enfield motorcycle in 1901, spanning multiple generations and continents. The limited edition model, due on sale in Europe from August, is a meticulously crafted physical tribute to the brand’s enduring legacy. Embossed with a 125 Year crest in gold on classic red. This Special Edition employs an ‘hypershift’ paint application, the unique kaleidoscope-like paintwork highlights the fusion of heritage and celebration, the perfect tribute to Royal Enfield’s timeless, iconic, and evolving spirit.

Royal Enfield has evolved into one of the world’s most iconic motorcycle brands, loved by generations of riders for its timeless design, authentic character, and philosophy of Pure Motorcycling. Today, the brand has a presence across 80+ countries, supported by a growing retail network of over 3,200 stores globally, seven international CKD assembly facilities, and vibrant riding communities around the world.

Its portfolio spans 15 internal combustion engine motorcycles across Heritage, Cruiser, Roadster, Adventure, and Pure Sport categories, each reflecting the brand’s ability to blend heritage with modern relevance for riders across markets. More recently, Royal Enfield has also marked its entry into electric mobility with Flying Flea, its new city+ electric mobility brand, launching the Flying Flea C6.

Speaking on the limited edition drop, Adrian John Sellers, Head of Custom & Motorsports, Royal Enfield, said:

“An elegant new expression of the Shotgun 650’s custom-first philosophy, this latest edition carries a distinctive design language inspired by the ‘Caliber Royale’ custom build—aligning perfectly with Rough Crafts’ signature black and gold aesthetic. With this limited-run motorcycle, we are proud to bring the artistry, craftsmanship, and understated yet aggressive silhouette of the original Rough Crafts custom build to our global community of riders, proving once again the limitless creative potential of the Shotgun 650 platform. This edition stands out as a collectible icon that inspires desirability while reaffirming Royal Enfield’s deep-rooted connection to the culture of personalisation.”

Styled with a combination of Gloss Jet Black and Matt Stealth Black, the motorcycle features a striking Gold Leaf stripe with a subtle grey accent flowing seamlessly across its panels, complemented by limited-edition numbering on the tank. A cast brass collaboration badge, identical to the one adorning the original custom, reinforces its authenticity. The other premium additions such as matching black bar-end mirrors, quilted leather seats, contrast-cut alloy rims, and gold fork inner tubes elevate both desirability and road presence. In addition to the motorcycle, owners will also receive a numbered limited edition gold on black artwork of a Caliber Royale custom build sketch, designed and signed by Winston Yeh of Rough Crafts.

Caliber Royale was custom-built by Rough Crafts with the Shotgun 650 as its base. It featured stretched proportions, signature fairing, hand crafted finishes in gloss and matte paint, gold leaf accents, and minute changes to the frame. Taking inspiration from the Caliber Royale, the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 x Rough Crafts Drop elevates the Shotgun’s muscular stance with exquisite design elements.
