Kawasaki Z H2 REVIEW - supercharged supernaked with 197bhp!

#Kawasaki #ZH2 #review

Purpose built supercharged supernaked has a peak power figure of 197bhp but a wet weight of 239kg, so can the new 2020 Kawasaki ZH2 steal the 'Naked' crown from the likes of the MT-10, Super Duke and Tuono?

BikeSocial's Michael Mann rides the bike over two days on road and at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway circuit and offers his first thoughts on video.

Just got mine yesterday. It’s super fast, cruse control, this list is endless, and very comfortable.
But you burn through fuel, but I was doing over 200km.😅😅😅
But I love it.

Brock's Performance dyno results are in! All stock, zero modifications: 184 hp 94 ft-lb @ wheel (SAE correction). As much as 80 ft-lb @ 5, 000 rpm.

I think for the price its good value, i think the ducati will be fairly pricey

Cant wait, ... mine is coming mid june. Green of course!

What's the fuss? That exhaust is positively beautiful compared to the GSXR1000! (And who keeps 'em anyway??)

Just get it flashed, the H2SX makes around 240 WHP after a flash, this will too :-)

Kawasaki had one on show yesterday at the WSBK at Phillip Island. It looks better in real life, but man that muffler is ugly. From the front the bike kind of reminds me of the Shinkansen bullet train. I would have thought with that sort of power you’d want to do a few track days with it, but I see what you mean, it would ground out if you got your knee down. By the way, if you’re using a GoPro for some of the shots the quality is amazing.

Best thing about this bike is it still has a key operated ignition!

Very well done video, but I dont know what this guy is talking about when he mentions that there is no other bike with this kind of torque, speed, electronics and such. The 1290 super Duke is a direct competitor at that price and dyno graphs are pretty similar with brake torque over 100 as well. As a side note this bike appears to make more power throughout its rev range compared to the dyno graphs currently available for the new streetfighter. Around 185 wheel hp is where the V4S lands as well. Seems Kawa under rated their figues a bit.

Kawasaki I've been buying your bikes, since my first Street bike H1 500, what the hell did you do settle on second best? You should of just plug in the H2 engine, without the tone down. It's not a touring bike like the SX.

Where exactly is this place/road from 11:20

[jhhd]

If I were buying a new bike this would be it, dealing with too many things right now to buy another bike but when I do it will probably be the Z H2

[larryhouse]

Its nearly hayabusa weight. Is it really justified? My FZ09 is under 400 pounds wet with the mods and I love its nimbleness and I think that goes with a naked bike. I'm not sure if I'm sold on this idea. Alot of weight for 20 HP on the competition...

[ianlawrie]

Great insight as always. Keep it up sir.

[PsGetSid_]

great video, that is what i call quality video! moor video like that!
details in the video about the bike is great.

[georamos]

what's the top speed, planning on buying this or the 2020 ZX10r to replace my 2015 zx10r as seen on my pic, give me your thoughts and opinions! it would be appreciated :))

[ginalopez]

And with a full flash and tune itll be the fastest naked bike oit there ducati will have nothing on it once its fully tuned ...

[diamondheat]

Idk I am a fan of this look. If anyone is a fan of the z900 and such then they appreciate the lines and styling.

[nairbyad]

money's tight and my CBR1000RR is a back torture rack for trips.
i visited the dealer anticipating a ZX14 and fond this for $2k more.

[rennielcayno]

I'll get this bike someday. <3
