You guys missing the fact that every h2 from factory is heavily restricted, There is a lot power to harvest from the bikes. Normal h2 got the same 197hp from factory but with ecu flash and open air filter and full system it got up to 250HP (240HP on h2 sx) at the rear wheel and those are basic mods that everyone is doing on their bikes, Also if you change the supercharger blades on the h2 it gets 276HP at the rear wheel which is basically h2r. There is no question about that in straight line it'll be the fastest naked bike even beating some superbikes up to sorted speeds. The question is how strong are your neck muscles?

I think it looks tough. Kawasaki are the only brand to have the balls to bolt on a supercharger to their bikes. I say well done Kawasaki.

No one buys a bike with the 8bhp carrot. You either buy a Ducati or a Kawasaki. No one really gets a gold trophy when one guy beats another guy on the road.
Bikes are about how they make you feel. And feel is everything.

oh god, they gave it the same dorky front headlight of the z400

From the right angles it looks awesome. Black on black is easily the best looking of the bunch

My friend has the H2 SX SE and the engine is amazing - speed at any revs any gear, but not for the faint hearted. Guess this will be a bit more comfy, but seems to weight more than my Z1000SX. Hmmm. I’m sure someone will buy it. Great overview, Bob.

ive been buying only Kawasakis since 1981, pretty well every big bore and I still have my 08 ZX14 turbocharged, for touring.Since being 55 y/o I wanted something totally different, but had be comfortable. After test riding the street fighter's, I was hooked on 2020 KTM 1290 SDR, throw away the electronics package, this is one great machine, if your racking up miles don't buy it, if your just want ride them hot summer nights or do some track days. Spoil yourself you only live once.

At 46 years old now. I was a very influenced as a teen when Top Gun came out and the super bike world started showing its self. I was living in Little Rock Arkansas at the time. Every one had a super bike. Yet the full faring Bikes are beautiful. I’ve Always thought of maintaining the bike quickly. So if I loose10 Hp by not being arrow dynamic. I’ll take that any day to keep from spending hours taking off all the body to get to the motor. Plus I think it looks amazing! No BS! All Buisnes. I would buy that over a super bike any day.

Nice little motorcycle....But the big question is; " Why do all the cool people in motorcycle ads always have to meet in deserted warehouses?" 😐

[paspgeo]

Amazing technology, cool H2 attractive

[floridamankyle]

It doesnt have a throttle, it has a HYPERSPACE BUTTON.

[drewiediggler]

Targeted peak of 197hp...plus the ram air effect on top.And very good torque figures for an inline 4. Ducati may not have it all their own way. And as for the styling, what's not to like about a green, tubular trellis frame?

[dalemiller]

Never too much power that's the name of the game more power less weight bigger brakes

[spoonman]

We should all be thankful that they have broken the seal and we are finally getting 200 hp naked bikes...

[tedfoster]

Just bought one and yes neck muscles are ZX14 is left behind on 40 rolls stock for stock. FYI

[AlexTheSimple]

Would definitely grab a zh2 over the v4 streetfighter. Would love the ducati, but the price tag and service costs for them where i live are just too much to live with. That being said, I'll be test riding both thoroughly when I can :D
