Bonneville was the only place in the world where they could test the incredible power of the NINJA H2, said the development members. In order to prove the performance of the machine that they created, they will make a start towards the title of the "World's Fastest".
The setting for Bonneville is a vast plain of salt. The NINJA H2 will run powerfully while roaring the sound of the engine on the pure white world that stretches far and wide.

That was fun. The riveting acceleration, sound, vibration, and smell. Whenever I accelerate on the NINJA H2, I fell the same fresh excitement just like my first time on the back of my father's motorcycle.
