Kawasaki Z H2 - Real Road Review

They say losing your license is easy on just about any motorcycle, but with the Kawasaki Z H2 I’d say it would be almost impossible to keep it at all!

What do you think about the ZH2?

I've ridden faster bikes. I've ridden better looking bikes. But I've never ridden a more fun and comfortable bike than the ZH2.

This bike looks sick! I don't know why people hate it. Whoever hates it, just hates they can't have one probably! Beautiful lines, colors, everything!!

[ChrisG]

It looks so much better in person. I thought it looked stupid but it's just something with the sharp angles on camera. I couldn't believe how much better it looked

I just bought mine yesterday.
Rode it before for a week and it‘s a dream.
It‘s just like you say, so smooth to ride🥰

Great review. Thank you. After around 5 months of ownership it continues to put a smile on my face. I use it almost every day as my daily commuter and it's quite easy to ride around town and filter through traffic. The engine is sillky smooth and responsive. When you need to go fast it just does it, no hesitation. You feel the weight if you need to push the bike around the garage but once you're moving the kilos just drop off. The bike feels very stable in corners which, along with the electronic aids, give you a lot of confidence. Fuel consumption is high, but this is is expected for this type of bike. The only disappointment is the rear shock which is a bit harsh. While not cheap, you do get plenty for your $$.

This bike looks great. I am not sure why so many people think it looks ugly.

[arvincheech]

i absolutely love my zh2 even after a year of ownership. i would never sell it like my other bikes. .great review.spot on. ride safe.

I was initially so impressed with the bike the first time I saw and sat on one at a major bike show in New York City, I eventually bought one. First off, it is not an inexpensive bike to buy. It's the second most expensive bike I've ever owned (the ZH2 is my 51st bike). Second, the engine has a single counter balancer so it is smooth, but not "silky smooth". Third, the seating position is one of the main reasons I bought the bike, You get 1000cc sportbike power but without the cramped "fetus" position. Fourth On the street from a 40-50 mph roll on test of speed in 2nd gear, this bike accelerates with AUTHORITY!!
Fifth, with the Kawasaki accessory windshield, which is quite small, it does help a bit when in a full tuck on a HIGH speed run, but does little-nothing when at normal(sane) speeds. Sixth the build quality is quite good and should be for a premium motorcycle with a high price. Seventh The tool kit is a TOTAL DISCRASE! Cheap crap tools and very few of them. Eighth Low down torque is not nearly enough, especially when drag racing. I raced the bike three different days at an official 1/4 mile drag strip, and the results were quite disappointing. I've been drag racing motorcycles since 1977 and have gotten quite good at it. This bike as it is stock is no drag bike. It's too short, has a too high center of gravity, and stock, is geared too low.
I didn't buy it as a road race bike so the weight is of no consequence to me. I like it's "in your face" mean looks too.

I think the bike is sweet! The ZH2 is loaded with options and can’t wait for the ZH2 SE to come out. I would consider selling my KTM Super Duke 1290 R for this bike. Great video, thanks!

[bozhidar-petrov]

Broooo at 6 min the view, the bike how you dropped some calm and low music and your voice explaining this is just timeless. Soooo nice I will subs for your channel

Ive owned this bike since may 2020.
I have not as of yet seen a single video of anyone riding it as hard as i ride mine. I will make a video next season. This bike is a incredibly fast. Its easily quicker than any ducati, i have smoked them all.

[francisa]

I changed my z900 this fall for a zh2 se 2022. Can't wait for spring, been checking this bike out for 3 years. Tried the direct competition as well, what a ride.

[blakeburns]

I really like the looks of this bike. That s/c and engine makes this thing a complete savage. Love it!

[zh]

I own a ZH2 my self, for the moment, and the few km i have driven last year (2020) has made me want more. This bike is pure fun, you have the power whenever and you have a touring bike (my own opinion). I`m not gonna say that this is the ultimate bike, but not far away from it. Ive had a Honda 600 CBR F, a Yamaha 750 Super Tenerer and a Kawasaki Z1000. The ZH2 that i now own, is by far the best bike that ive driven, so far... I cant wait to next season, which i hope is soon.

Great video Mr. Drakenhoff and i hope i see you on the road soon :)

[RickyJr]

That was very enjoyable to watch, I can only imagine how much fun you had creating it! Having finally seen one at the dealership, its hulking and muscular build reminded me of an NFL fullback like Bo Jackson. Not the ultimate fastest or most nimble, certainly not the prettiest (!), but Bo the warrior would absolutely run over guys on the playing field. The Z H2 emanates that sort of brutal vibe.

[ajaymanoj]

What a great video production man, loved it!

[zaccrain]

JUST BOUGHT MINE AND I COULDNT BE HAPPIER WITH THE AMOUNT OF CRAZY LAUGHTER IT BRINGS ME WHEN I TWIST THE THROTTLE

[stevenhrouda]

I got about 50m on a test ride and knew this was the bike for me. Had it for a week now and it just gets better and better. It''s big, heavy and intimidating, get it rolling though and it's a dream to ride. Awesome machine!

[evgaman]

This is a dream bike of mine. In a few months I will be acquiring the 2022 model in black and red. The anticipation is killing me to say the least. I have watched so many videos about this bike and I am with out a doubt certain this is the bike for me. Look forward to it!

[Tenksen]

Had a test ride on a ZH2 SE recently and immediately said ill buy one when I got back lol! Got a good deal on a standard (new) 2020 model, I'm hoping missing the 'sky-hook' wont be too much of a problem for me.
