Kawasaki H2 Road Test

It's the BIG ONE! The one we've all been waiting for; Kawasaki's game-changing supercharged H2. After all the hype, we finally get to ride it and put it through a series of exhaustive tests to find out if the wait, and the hype, were worth it.

For all of those who are critical of the asthetics, you obviously haven't seen the bike in the flesh, it's breathtaking, brutal and quite frankly beautiful.

I just love the green frame, and the paint on this bike. Look at the workmanship on this bike. It is superb.

just lost my brother in law a few ago on a H2. He's bike was heavily modified though, was making about 100hp more than standard. Not a bike for the faint hearted. the unfortunate thing is 3 people lost there lives in the accident, and he leaves behind a wife and 3 kids. Is it worth to spend half a bar on a bike, that also raises the risk highly on your life? I don't think so. And btw, you cannot own this bike and ride the speed limit

I almost bought one in 2017, but the insurance coverage was three times as much as it was for the ZX-14R (age 51, clean driving record, multi-car, homeowner, and full coverage maxed out). And there was a ZX-14R left over from 2016 with 6-miles on it that was half the price, so I went that route, and I am in love my 14R with almost every fiber of my being.... but I would have multiple, salaciously illicit affairs with an H2 any day of the week if I could find a way... but that was just between you, me and the lamp post, got it? ;)

That is one of the best reviews of the H2 i have seen yet. Awesome

[hakimasyraf]

does this mean ninja h2 only specialized for straightaway speed ?.. because other journalists only test the bike on the track.. i'm glad to watch this as your idea of testing this bike a little bit outside the box compare to other journalists..

Pretty sure Darth Vader was in Star Wars and warp speeds were in Star Trek. *fixes glasses, checks the anorak zipper is closed all the way*

[davidevans]

i think you guys have missed the point.  Its a trackday weapon, all power and speed, no daily use.  they have been clocked at 335km/h down the straight at Phillip Island !

[lemongrabracing]

I hate the exhaust. they need to make it smaller and more sporty

[sikeftw]

Hey guys,

Need some advice (not relating to this special). How can I get in contact with you?

Much appreciated!

cant wait for the H2 ninja.
I recently read an article in a magazine about a super charged bmw, I think from the 1930s

[NZsarge]

That squeaky chatter is the waste gate on the supercharger?

[alexanderhetzel]

Nice test, as always. It is not the first turbo bike though, what about the Honda CX650 back in the 80s (and a few others).

I've had a 2017 H2 for 2 years. It's flashed with an air filter. I don't agree with it it running hot, certainly no more noticibly than any other liter bike. Never had mine stall either.

[Magician]

did 400 kph on bridge in turkey, I was there

[Nasoulis]

This bike is surely a Decepticon who eats Autobots for breakfast!!

[IgWannA]

Hey guys, love your show but you should de-interlace your videos before uploading - that's why you see horizontal lines whenever there's any movement.

[Fantashticgamer]

Wait. 320k?. What currency r u talking about.

[RobertBrumley]

Well one thing for sure, it will blow away a Triumph Rocket III and isn't as heavy.
