You should put the motorcycle in neutral at stops instead of leaving load on clutch by holding lever in.

My respect for Kawasaki skyrocketed after they released this super charged engine. What a bike...

Just got myself a 2020 non SE version. They make about 175 at the wheel and are heavily restricted. I.e close to the redline you're making only about 130bhp with the standard map. 215 at the wheel is no issue for these bikes, and is considered a 'safe' tune. That's a 40hp gain at the wheel for a standard remap. The thing about this bike is not the power, it's how relentlessly it provides it and the relatively short gearing, it's ridiculous. Honestly respect Kawasaki for making this engine. They can do it because they're a huge company who make most of their money outside of motorcycling. This is like their hobby, their real job is in shipping. I think that's why we get stupid bikes from them and the ZH2 is at the top of stupid. Love it.

I rode this bike today, was ok but I prefer my Triumph Speed triple, maybe because it’s lighter I’m not too sure I found the H2 really heavy it’s Stella fun Bike very comfortable good performance but nothing out of this world. It’s fast but there’s nothing crazy about it.

What did you pay for it? Just bought a 2023 Z900 and saw the Z H2 as I was walking out of the store. It winked at me and seduced my soul.

I’m glad you like the ZH2. I was waiting on this review!! The only way I describe mine is that when you pin the throttle it leaves your soul behind. Unbelievably powerful but yet so comfortable and amazingly rideable.

Yup, that sound is amazing. Im told its tuned to have a supercharger sound down low, as well as up top. I want that bike bad. Thank you for reviewing it.

Gonna be honest, Del Amo southbay lost my business last year when they outright refused to negotiate when i sat down to sign a ninja400. Went to fun bike center instead

Great to see you do more bike reviews. It's a great variation to your other high-quality content.

I have one, and you can explain it better than me, yep, this bike feels different than other super naked bikes. The power is always there, you do not need the high rpm. Fun bike, you need quite a bit of restrain with this bike. Keep-up the good work, all your videos are top notch.

I own a 2020 zh2, its ecu flashed and has a full exuhaust. If u think stock is fast and powerfull, u dont know half of it let me tell u

Had mine for a year now it's insane and i love it

That's been my dream bike for awhile now, what year did you get? How does it handle in the city, easy enough to maneuver and handle that power on smaller streets? Is parking it in tight spaces ok? How's the comfort, and if you have done 2up is your passenger comfortable on it for long rides? Really appreciate any thoughts you have, really want it as my tourer!

Thia is what i say since i had one. Ppl continue to talk about the insane power of bikes like 1290, mt10 etx.. but this one is on another level..think that that bike of the video is about 165hp at rhe rear wheel, onece you remap it you reach 210+ hp it s insane and beautiful❤❤❤

If you were in San Antonio I’d totally let you ride mine. When the ECUs are derestricted on these…. Totally different

Astounding piece of machinery by Kawasaki.

I also have 2020 h2 sx se (like some other folks here) it is really addictive 👍😎

Drove this bad boy during the Kawa Promo Tour, you should experience it above 9k rpm when it really comes alive.

You answered my one question about ergonomics. I'm also 5'9. I couldn't find anything about ride position online until your video. Thanks!

I love what you said right there “Buy whatever you want to buy, it’s not about needing it”

Thanks for nice review. I picked one up after watching a few vids including this one. Great bike so far.

Finally! I was waiting for this review for a long time. Thanks MotoJitsu

Words you are looking for is ‘Power under the curve’ if you look at a dyno graph, most are linear low to high, but things like this have more down low, and you don’t need to be in the high rpm band to feel it. And toque lots of it.

My first bike was the z900 and after road trips, track days general road riding I realised naked bikes offer everything I need in a bike and 1 bike can be my all rounder. I decided to step up to the ZH2 SE and what a machine. Racefit slip-on exhaust (cat still in place) and an air filter. Because of forced induction the power gains with correct mapping are insane. It went from 178bhp / 96ft lbs torque at the back wheel to 232bhp / 107 ft lbs of torque. Its absolutely stupid, your up to wind blast speeds way too quickly, you feel your hanging on for dear life but it remains so linear, the thing feels like it’s hitting powerband all the way through the rev range so you’re always prepared for it. If desired put it in rain mode and you can have a much more tame experience and along with all the tech it’s way more manageable than this bike should ever be. You’d be welcome to ride it if you’re ever in the Uk!

Had the MT10 , and the H2sxse+. Love my new Busa more. Pictures do no do it justice though. Pulls more than the H2 did , lower through higher. But , the MT was way cheaper . Buy what you can afford and love it as they are all in reality, more power than you’ll ever need on the street. Be safe and represent the lifestyle responsibility.

Sounds fun love my k6 GSXR 1000 bigger stroke vs the bigger bore 1000s torque for days

That bike is something else. The sound? Wow.

Ohhh my world! I’ve been WAITING for them to make a 2-seater H2 that’s not the big bulky Tour SXSE; which is nice but not for me at this stage of life. This is DOPE

I do love mine sounds even better with a decent pipe and that rush as the supercharger kicks in and you have to use a little caution.

I had a regular Z1000 a decade ago and I can’t imagine it with so much more power, my Z would power wheelie whenever I rode with a hint of aggression, the front was always light, I would guess this one would just lean on the electronics under power.

@Chase v twin is completely reliable. The LC engines are based off Dakar and Endurance racing engines. No problem there. Also less actual mechanical points of failure than a supercharged inline 4. Also, 20 less HP, but more torque, and about 75 lbs less weight.

Can you test ride the Royal Enfield Hunter 350? Or any of the other 350s? Can you do it with city riding in mind. All the tests I've seen from US of Americans is they say "Don't buy it, it's not for high way ridining". Well duh, ofc not, it's a 350. So if you could do a city ride with them that would be awesome.

He's had it tuned and the ecu flashed at great expense and while it's a lovely bike, he's used to the 14 that he sold me and his real H2 so it's been a big disappointment for him too. We did a roll on drag race, 6th gear ticking over at about 20mph and then both went wide open on the throttle. I left him for dead on his old bike! I'm not sure what place some of these bikes have in the whole thing. 🤔 And this Jitsu guy's review of the 14 was shit, all he talked about was his old Busa.

I am in love with this scooter, however that stock pipe is ridiculous AF! And why does the zH2 have Brembo brake on the front only. “Nissin” on the rear? I haven’t even bought one yet and I’m buying upgrades. Lol. Love the neutral seating position! Naked H2 is the one for me!! I’m getting one and it she will be tuned and that huge ass Can will come off and the rear brakes will be swapped to Brems asap as well. This is happening.

Kawasaki should set you up with a demo bike for a while. H2 videos not on a dyno machine are rare.

I love the idea of boosted motors on bikes BUT my idea is using it to achieve a super lightweight but plenty powerful bike ....I am thinking single cylinder 100+hp weighing 300llbs In theory that should be totally doable no? I dont know the displacement but I am guessing 400ish cc? Aww heck go ahead and make it 500cc right? Now a full tilt H2R make 310hp from a 4 cylinder 1000cc closed course only yada yada just saying. each of those 250cc jugs is making over 75 ponies yes? So then logically A 350 single should have zero problems making 100hp And there is no reason I a 350 even with a supercharger cant be a svelte 300ish llbs full of fuel all euro5 street ready am I right? Can you imagine how SWEET a little canyon bike that could be? THAT is the Bike I want Kawasaki to build me! I can almost taste it right now! It would put everything else to shame in the canyons as far as fun factor Or hey maybe even a 350 twin just to get some RPM out of it even though it would tack on 50 llbs But a 1000cc 4 cylinder is OVER THE TOP largely unusable just crazy! Not that it wouldnt be thrilling and fun I'm just saying you could never really tap into it very far so what is the point?
