I would love to have this bike. Love that it has cruise control. First review I have seen of it. You need to get one for a long term review.

[stevesmith]

I am so impressed by this machine, I ordered one! Should have it sometime this week. Chomping at the bit! ZH2 for the win!

[stevesmith]

Just went past the 700 mile mark this afternoon. This bike continues to thrill me everytime I ride it! I did regear it so it's less wheelie prone by (in effect) going from a 46 tooth rear sprocket down to a 42 tooth. Still kicks serious ass but doesn't turn into as much of a wheelie machine, plus it gets better gas mileage. Can't wait until my local drag strip is open next month to see what I can get her to do.

I'm from Britain and watched this whole upload waiting on a corner!

I own a 2022 ZH2 SE and love it. I would highly recommend it for an experienced rider. It is truly hard to express just how fast it is. Be careful and enjoy the ride.

[spvimagery]

Love your reactions, I think this bike puts a giggle in every ride face lol. Sounds like a jet engine, way to go Kawasaki.

[henryhartley]

Sounds fantastic when you open the throttle, what a

[snoman]

Love mine on the twisties of Colorado! Got that Million $ Hwy in sights when the snow melts. The bike is amazing, one of the coolest bikes I've owned. I have been selling MC's for nearly 20 years now and I can honestly say this is one of the most interesting bikes out there! If you can get one, do it! You won't be disappointed.

[kwackerkm]

Love your work what a bike ZH2 is what a beast. Love the way you got excited about this bike got me buzzing to. Keep up the great work looking forward to your new content soon ✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[SuperGinkgo]

That's it mate you've peaked! All downhill from that one 😜

[saddlebag]

I seem to recall my buddy's ZX-10 would go well over 100 mph in first gear. For a street bike, ya gotta wonder why they even bothered with the complexity, weight, and cost of a gear box.

[wrkings]

Awesome vlog mate, simply fantastic machine, thx brah for an excellent review

[Cartier_specialist]

I'd lose my license the first day I owned one of those.

[protonjicari]

The review is great I really like it! Also the reaction is also awesome! I just would prefer a better thumbnail so show how much effort what’s in the video.

[Truthasvictim]

It feels like it wants to leave Earth. Yes. lol

[Cartier_specialist]

Why did Kawasaki make this? Because they could.

[AQS]

That thing would sound awesome with an SC project exhaust

[rabbitpatterson]

Nice .looks fast and fun ..love the cruze control .. would be great for me on big trips up north all Blue ridge parkway we did last year ..on my Suzuki bandit 1200 ..now has 147000 miles on it .lol great bike . Still going on trips till she flops over and dies .haha ..I like the Ninja . awesome bike

[bikerbeliever]

Cant wait for the new cruiser from Kawasaki.

[amProFilms]

Im wanting to trade in my MT10 for this, glad to hear its on another level because my MT10 just isn't fast enough (Tesla Plaids bully me)
