Thanks for watching.

I think there's a part of me that would be interested in this bike if it's ICE wasn't the least interesting engine of the middleweight class. I like the idea of the bike, I think there's a future for hybrids, and I applaud Kawasaki for continuing to try new things.

Most riders are missing the key element of this bike; it's the fastest and most powerful motorcycle (so far) in a congestion/exclusion zone. Urban dwellers have used the power of local self-determination to exclude ICE vehicles from where they live. You're welcome to own and ride whatever ICE super bike you now own, but keep in out of urban centers.

If you want a fast overtake in sports mode then hit the boost button.

off topic but ive sat and watched every zh2 video youve released and i have now purchased one and just waiting on delivery from chesterfield kawasaki .Thanks for all the indepth reviews on the bike

Real interesting bike! I wouldn't mind seeing a heavyweight version with a bigger battery and EV motor.

I don’t get the hate for this bike I think it looks great…. You don’t need 300hp to have fun and z400 power is fine for use with the bonus torque…. Only thing it needs to make it great is to be a bit cheaper around 650 price and maybe a2 compatibility.

The bike would be useful if it had enough EV.range.fir.daily commute and could.plug.it in at home to charge.
Small batteries in hybrids take a hammering and don't last all that long.
If you want efficiency and not bothered about tons of speed there are ice bikes out there that do really good mpg for a lot less money.

I would absolutely love this bike as a delivery service rider like wolt etc in the city. Cheap, nimble, smooth, easy and fast enough for the city. At least thats my impression from this.

[triplecogstudios]

I like the idea of it but at 60% (£4500) more expensive than a ninja 650 it just doesn't make any sense.

[Spint]

I really wish people would translate their acronyms.

Here for the channel not the bike. 😤

Walk mode is pretty lit tho.. Range test would be cool.. It also sounds alright. Not needing clutch I think there is a huge market for it.
Would maybe like to see a version with a pseudo clutch, like some of the electronic dirt bikes. Maybe then could force a wheelie.

keep talking about speed in ECO mode. brilliant. next try to see how good is your helmet with a pair of shorts at preventing sunburns while sunbathing by the beach.

So it's Z400 performance for Z900rs se money with a level of complexity to put a H2R to shame . Just who is this aimed at ?

[Brakballe]

I kill myself before "that" With honors.

What a dogs breakfast of styling and colours... 😮 🤮
They could at least have tried to make it look ok.
