Very PAINFUL acceleration: Kawasaki ZH2 SE review

Kawasaki ZH2 SE review
Hi there everyone! Today I bring you the review of a fantastic, thrilling machine: the Kawasaki ZH2 SE 2023! This motorcycle is unique in many aspects, it is the only naked bike in the world with a supercharger. And that means that we have on this beast 200 HP and an astounding amount of torque. This new version improves suspension and braking, and we'll know at the end of this review, if this is one of the best naked bikes around!

    Best street bike ever made. I have a standard ZH2. At 17.5K miles in rider mode, full power, and KTRC off ever since after the break-in. The service and wrench light just came on. Not sure what the problem is yet. Been on top of all maintenance. It's gone into a sort of 'limp mode' where it isn't full power and traction control prevents wheelies despite KTRC being off. Hopefully nothing too bad or pricey. Other than that, it's the love of my life.

    Great review, and greetings from the UK, where I have one of these all black just the H2 not the SE, but still delivers all the fun and performance, crazy pick up due to the torque band from the super charger comes in at around 4K, really need to be on your game when it does, fitted a few extras like thicker seat, small front screen, etc. keeper for many years..

    I did a demo on it yesterday, tbh it didn’t feel that crazy , it was ok but nothing special, maybe I didn’t rev it too much, I kept to the speed limit so I probably only hit 4000rpm , BUT it’s absolutely lovely to ride especially at low speeds it’s a dream , I’m used to Bmw and Triumph so the build quality was definitely not as good on the H2 . I’d have to ride it for longer, the way it delivers its power is instant but I wouldn’t say it’s better than the Speed Triple 1200 , maybe that’s due to it’s weight it’s quite heavy,So to sum up,would I buy one ? YES! 😂

    The power delivery is instant but personally I prefer the Triumph Speed Triple Rs because it’s smoother ( I know that sounds silly) but the H2 power is a bit weird, that’s just my opinion but it’s a great bike , it’s very comfortable, it’s so easy to ride, I found it friendly and planted 👍🏾

    I had a BMW K1300R back then and would argue that it was in all points better than the B-King. 😜 The power was basically the same, since Suzuki over estimated and BMW under estimated the Press data. And the K1300R had a ton more features, ABS, Traction Control, Electronic Suspension, Quickshifter, Heated Grips.

    Hi, I drove a B King for 12 years and sold it 2 years ago. This bike could be my next one, in terms of maneuverability compared to the b king, what do you think? Is it better? Thank you

    You can lighten the bike by 21lbs or 9.5kgs by changing the exhaust system. The digital display has another layout, you just have to search and select it. The engine heat is better than the Italian bikes. Fuel consumption is better than the Italians. Good review!

    No, I went with an Indian Sport chief. It is low to the ground, fast, and more comfortable than the H2R.
