Got the Zh2 SE on June 1st, and I’ve been in love since. I was in the market for a MT10 from a Hayabusa, I had never even Heard of a ZH2 until the same day I bought it. My GF said “hey they don’t have any MT10s here..but you gotta see this Naked Kawasaki”

Absolutely on the money as far as that excitement from you shows. As you know i bought one BECAUSE OF YOU lol, but honestly it is the best bike i have ever owned, it has everything i want as far as electronics, more power than i could ever need, and is so comfortable. It's taken a long time for me to say i have my perfect bike, but finally i feel i have. If anyone is on the fence, don't be, i do often get 150 a tank easily, my average has been 44mpg up to now, but i haven't gone mental every single time, i just enjoy riding it. @Goblin, Please excuse one correction i want to make for you, road mode is full power not 75% Rain mode 50%, traction control 3 Road mode 100%, traction control 2 Sport mode 100%, traction control 1 with improved throttle response etc (i believe) Not being rude Goblin , just helpful i hope. Please keep these up, your vids are excellent! Cheers.

Sounds like it is worth the buy. I'm selling my 17 GSXR1000 for this bike. I'm pretty sure it has everything I want and more at a great price point. But overall I just want to be comfortable and ride more.

Fantastic video, had my green framed 2020 ZH2 two years now and absolutely love it 😍💪

Tryna see if I can get a good deal on one….been looking at a lot of videos and everyone I watch if this bike makes me have such an excitement and need for it. I hope someday I’ll have one because this beauty is a beast

Great video! I am planning on getting one somewhere between 3 and 6 months.. This at least tripled my hype😅

I love mine, upgraded from an MT10. Did you know the throttle is heavily restricted in the ecu? 1st gear the throttle plates are never actually open 100% and in 6th gear they are only open 100% at 9k rpm and close at 10k rpm. So a simple ecu flash actually boosts most people over 200hp at the wheel where stock is 170. I love this bike, great vid!

@@patrickm9785 there isn't a limit, but at the wheel it's like 170ish hp. I was just saying they restrict the bikes throttle response as it's never 100% open. So full throttle is more like 60% because of how they program it. You need an ecu flash to get all of the bike you paid for

Great review. Do you plan on flashing the bike and installing any mods (e.g, exhaust) on it in the future?

Just bought a brand new one Yesterday, and trading in my Ducati xdiavel,hope I have done the right thing as loved the Ducati, but its just too hard for uk country lanes as the suspension is so bad. Insurance is going to be a hard pill to swallow but looking forward to picking her up next week 😀

Excellent review, I have an all black one and 100% confirm everything you have said, also for me being 6'2' it fits really nicely, done 2000 miles in 6 months from nearly new, the deal I got is another story 152 miles used other owner not sure if he was scared or too much to be a play thing, but it is really a marvel of engineering, fitted a TomTom next to the dash and feel like I could go any where now and probably will.

Great video - were you going past the pub at Cranham at some point? Loving the supercharger chirrup. Subscribed. * Have you ever ridden the H2 Ninja ?

Great video. I am thinking hard about getting the ZH2 SE here in America. My last bike was a Z1000 which I sold last year. You said this was a good commuter bike, interesting! My Z1000 was horrendous on the highway, but super fun in street conditions like city dwellings and point to point zip and go. Does your Z have the buzziness at highway speeds? And, is there any aftermarket small luggage bags to put on the back? Before my Z1000 I had a ZX14 which I installed GIVI bags onto it, was a lovely addition. Again, good video.

No idea about the. Bags bro … but the bike can go fast even if you do a pull @30 mpg in 6th gear.. it’ll still go quick lol

This man gets it 😅

ON THE ROAD MODE! Let's go! In a few vehicles.... :(

Been riding a z900 year round for 2 years. Thinking about getting the H2 and starting on road mode. It's actually better seating position than the 1000sx.

Thanks for the nice review. I have the same feeling as yours when I 1st tried the ZH2 of my Friend. When I drove the bike. I was overwhelmed and surprised about the power and good handling of the bike. The sound of the Supervcharger is music to my ears. Haha. 😅 The 2 things that my concern about the bike is the Weight of it because it has 240 Kgs. If you are a small rider it might not compliment you. The consumption of the bike is high. It is a high Horsepowered bike and it has a supercharger. I think for me it is a given fact that when you push the bike to its full potential. It will consume a lot of gas and it's normal. Because of my experience from the bike. I want to have it. Overall Kawasaki Bikes are reliable and amazing.❤🏍🏍😁

Rain mode is 50% but both road and sport are 100% the only difference is road mode traction is 2 and sport mode is set to 1...

Have you ever had tank slapping issues with it? It doesn’t have dampener

the modes are throttle curves in the sub menu there are actual power mode Low Med High !!!!

It's excitement like this that causes extreme "Gooch juice"

Any bike is fine for beginner incuding this one as long as you can control your right hand...

Dude... Stop it! What you trying to do? You can`t make me want one more than I already do! 🤗 How`s the "new" gloves performing?

Get it flashed and you will find out that it will power wheelie at 200 km/h ;)

Ask that question to yourself, do you feel mature and experienced enough to ride a supercharge 1000cc motorcycle?

What do you think is more fun to ride the zh2 or the ZX14 you reviewed.

It's a close call, but Z H2 for me. Just as much power, smaller wheelbase, a bit more fun imo. But both a brilliant in different ways, just personal preference I suppose 👍

I owned 3 ZX14Rs, and prefer my Z H2 SE. I do miss the wind protection at speed, though.

What helmet are you wearin in this video?

i love mine even after a year of ownership. would never sell it..

Is the best fuelled bike I ever ridden , no flats no hesitation just smooth 4 cylinder power coupled with superduke torque , rolling on in any gear nothing stays with it other than another supercharger .. it is simply breathtaking I have owned 2 luckily , but…… speed comes up sooooooo quick you are using your luck on the roads up big time … police now and cameras and drones … it’s only time hense the sale , Thankyou Kawasaki…. Just Thankyou … only one negative for me…. No steering damper … I mean that was a massive massive oversight

Bro i own one, try it RIDER mode Power F Traction control OFF :)

How many miles are you getting out of a full tank? I was looking at one of these bikes (even put a deposit down) but must admit although i dont buy a bike for fuel economy, i was concerned i would spending most of my day at a petrol pump. Ideally if i could get 140- 150 miles out of a tank i could live with that, but 100/110 miles on a 19 litre tank would make it a very expensive hobbie. Would like to know your feedback.
