I test rode the S1000R and was
Coming off a N1K. Pull felt similar to my Ninja but handling was bloody beautiful. It felt like it was on rails….but….. also felt sterile and without character. I am sure it would be fast and seamless through corners but I bought a ZH2! Insanely smooth. The weight actually makes it feel planted and let’s face it, 40kg is a massive difference but the power, the feeling, the excitement and rarity make it a winner for me. Handeling is better than my Ninja and fuelling is smoother. No regrets. Love it!

Awsum review. Great job. I just bought a 2021 zh2. A great fun bike .I luv the zh2 look.

Great comparison, thanks for the insights 🙌🏻🔥👏🏻

Enjoyed your review mate. Nice one. Already convinced about the ZH2 and can’t wait to pick mine up in a couple of months. I have a ZXR750 H1 and I recon the ZH2 demonstrates great design lineage vibe with it!

I have zh2se version. Totally in love with this bike, but I like the new m1000r... I live in Italy, only twiesties roads, the zed is a weapon even jn corner, but the bmw should be better. I would miss the engine for sure... (mine is 220hp to the rear wheel 😁 in stock only 165/170, you could imagine... )

[davidgarcesarias]

Which one would you choose for city riding? Traffic jams? Is the engine heat worst in one or the other?

[eduardoangeles]

All of you guys have you ever ridden the zh2? If not try first

[Braapstar]

Which one would you recommend for someone who is 6'2?

[AJ-jsyw]

Love the review. Overall i think the BMW is just more classy.

Why was the ZH2 check engine light flashing in your video?

[soumyaprakashsahoo]

According to you which is better for street riding and weekend ride and if possible daily commute. Since you have ridden the s1000r can you tell me is the power on s1000r enough to keep up with supersports like zx10r or s1000rr. I am thinking for m1000r but in our country s1000r sports comes for 20, 65, 000 Indian rupees ex-showroom where as m1000r base model comes for 33, 00, 000 Indian rupees ex-showroom which almost 10000 pounds difference (1 pound = 100 Indian rupee). Or should I go for zh2 base model which is 23, 50, 000 Indian rupee.?

I think you're wrong about the bottom end and shift cam. The S1000R makes more torque than the RR all the way up to 9500rpm.

[philipjames]

If I were to buy a zh2. I think I'd just have the dealer fit a new Nitron / K Tech shock at point of picking it up.

[LowkeyAnnie]

🔥👌👍 I'm die hard, Kawasaki, but don't think I'd be ever riding it. Stupid fast, but, I love, Kawasaki's...🏍💨

[marksmyth]

Completely disagree with your thoughts on the power on the S1000r.
I just changed from a 765 street triple to the BMW and feel the low down torque is pretty similar and the mid range is better then the triple.

Some of the popular moto youtubers seem to secretly have Z H2 bikes.
