Kawasaki Z H2 Review 

The bike Show ! puts a smile on my face every time I watch an episode .

"that's the sound of the rotor breaking the sound barrier!" SOLD!!!! lololol

One of the best, if not the best and most accurate report on the fantastic Z H2. Brilliant formulations round off the successful video! Well done!

I really had lot of fun watching the video awesome presentation.

Great review guys, love the laughter😁

That straightaway! I'm so jealous!!

Keep it up guys. Love the content.

This is a mental bike. Great review, thanks. Cheers Don!

Great review Don, brilliant

Great review as usual, keep up the good work & love the humour! Can you please review the new Ninja 1000sx, Kawa has finally fixed the handling problems of the previous model with a slight steepening of the rake so you don't need to replace the rear tyre with a 55 profile, it's also a tad taller which improves the comfort on longer rides, and a more padded seat. (and of course the riding modes, quick shifter, cruise control & TFT screen all new as well). Keen to hear your thoughts!

Wow beautiful bike! 💖

Enjoyed your video. I would love one of those supercharged Kawasaki’s. I have a few bikes but have been lately riding a 2008 Suzuki B-King. It is a tremendous amount of fun. My wife and I were in Midrand South Africa in February this year. Such an amazing country and wonderful people. Watching your videos makes me want to get back there very soon when they open up the country.

Hahah love your reviews!

Im still breaking mine in but, i can already tell its a beast.

Great video.. My next bike, i hope.. I got a Z900, 2017.. love the bike, 55.000 km so far.. so next year, Z_H2

Very good video. I’m buying one.

Thanks don, that was great

Nice one Don 👍🏻👍🏻 Yeah , it's all about that price tag 😬 , You can literally buy two new Z900 for the price of this... Life is about choices ?! 😉 Cheers from Jozi 🇿🇦

As others have mentioned we would love to see a Z H2 v ZZR14 comparison,. you ridden both any comments ? Acceleration and top end ?

I've been waiting for "The Bike Show" to do a video on my bike for months! It's here WOOHOO!

I like this channel , where do I go to watch full shows /episodes?

I am good with 270kmh... its all about how fast you get there... How often do you use top speed on the street... how often do you use acceleration.

Don, you must have the force of the 6 million dollar man in those fore arms ! ! Nice review fella ! ! Keep them coming. P.S.: how do shut the road just for you to have fun ? Do you have friends in high places ? ;)

I own one and once u put it in sport mode it’s a blast and plenty fast. As long as I can get up to 130-140 mph quickly I don’t care to much about anything after that. It’s just a plus

Don, see when you ask, is there any need for a 200hp supercharged motorcycle, I have to ask if you ask the same question when your hooning around on the ktm 1290 superduke r or ducati streetfighter V4...??

Great video and LOL moments good to see the Z H2 up there and getting the feedback it deserves. It certainly isn't the the most competitive neither does it have the best brakes or suspension but man does it make you feel good and put a massive smile on your face. I'll be doing the full review on the Z H2 2021 in the coming weeks, then have some mods to add such as the Scorpion can and Sprint filter (doing videos for those too). Will be an excellent comparison to the nakeds I have already done videos for.

Damn you Kawasaki! What am I going to do with my ZX14...Just when I was starting to really enjoy it! Now you tease me with this nightmarish beast! You will not make me give up my 14! Damn you to hell!!

The sound barrier statement is just marketing by Kawasaki, the the blow off valve making the noise on closed throttle.

The lean angle Guage records the max degrees , so when your stopped you can see the reading .. it's not meant to look at while your driving..

I love it. But I want a GT version. I need a touring screen..

Must be gearing and the ecu restrictions holding it to 277 and ofcourse your weight

Sound...ehh... not even close to V4 ;) Great review as always!

Brocks has this ZH2 tuned with the ECU cracked to 228 HP...and its insane....

Hey ..how can i get in contact with you ?..thanks in advance

It would be very nice to see a repeat of the test where the H2SXSE raced a ZX-14R (ZZR14) only this time using the ZH2. From a low speed roll, the ZH2 with much less weight and shorter gearing will WALK the 14R!

Sport mode then its brutal🤘🤘🔥 feels faster then zzr 1400🤙🤙

Awesome bike but I've gone right off naked bikes after I owned one they have no wind protection at all and I don't live in a city so I really have no need for one

We're indeed so sick and tired of being reasonable

That's one bst way to narrate a story u ride

.. 😳👀🤔🙄..."If that does not make you excited, why are you even alive!?"... 😂🤣..."The helmet is against me.. The helmet is against me.."... 🤪😁.. LMAO... Thank You!!!

Have the Z H2 flashed. they probably start closing the butterflies at 7500 rpm to keep the power down. there is a video of a guy in USA that flashed a H2 SX and with no mods got 240 HP at the wheel. probably the Z will do the same :-)

Here in 2023, someone is about to hit over 200mph on it. It’s coming and it can most definitely easily achieve that😎

Donovan has packed some weight seems like

You’re website is not working.

The bike really suits our thicc boy very well XD

Dang! The streetfighter v4s breaches the 300 figure easily no?

That, not too bad sounded like, not so sure about the price 😁

At least this bike make more sense than street fighter v4.

I have been a Kawasaki Rider for around 19 years now (first had a KG150 serpico, then a er-6n, and now have a 2008 Z1000 that i bought in 2010) so let me just say that YES, I love kawasaki. Lately though, I'm having a HUGE problem with Kawasaki's styling choices, especially with the Z family. first off, they have thrown out THE signature thing of the Z family... the dual exhaust cans... I mean this was for eons the number one thing that made the Z look as great as it did naked. the the second thing that has pissed me off is that they decided to go with the stalk indicators... in my mind this makes the styling look so oldschool when ORIGINALLY the naked family of Kawasaki was the first to come out with fairing/flush mount indicators... and now, it seems that only the sport variant has this... but why...WHY!! I have tried getting my concerns up to the Kawasaki factory, but me being a normal person in another country of no real significance, means that my voice just falls on deaf ears. I really want to buy another Kawasaki, but unless I can fix the styling myself somehow... or Kawaski moves its styling back into the future... my current Z baby might not be able to last that long

Man i really appreciate all these hyper bikes segment which is happening now, but man these machines are somehow only focused on the power and torque now even the Ducati and Yamaha has lost its feel thats just my opinion iam not disrespecting any bike, i just still think instead of making tbese bikes like a hyper robot they should work on ita character.

And of course, most people could do very well with a Z900. But if spending another $8 grand is someone's idea of having fun another 2% of the time they are riding, by all means, buy the Z H2.

#The Bike Show, the top speed is 288kmh

So why isn't it a shaft drive

You need a bigger witches hat.

i would consider it but its just ugly, ill wait for the H2

I'm getting tired of hearing about that "tips of the charger breaking the sound barrier". Surely its obvious it can't be true? If it was speed related (gear driven s/c, remember so it's locked to engine rpm) it would happen at the same rpm every time and regardless of throttle. It doesn't. It happens when you close throttle after it being wide (or mostly) open. That leads a lot of people to think its extra boost being dumped but even that isn't true. What you're really hearing is something known as compressor surge. As you close the throttle the extra boost has nowhere to go and surges back through the compressor. Then the bypass opens to releive it. Then as boost drops the bypass closes again but the charger is still making more boost than the closed throttle will allow to pass so the process is repeated. Thats why it sounds like its fluttering. Look up compressor surge and you will hear vids of it - usually on turbo cars which have too-large turbo's fitted. Now translate that sound to a much smaller impeller with force behind it and you'll soon realise what this is. I have no idea which marketing moron came up with this but it's just that - marketing rubbish.

Good bike i just wish it was lighter

At 170-MPH the V-4 Ducati StreetFighter hasn’t broken a sweat !!!!!

With want ridiculous... that's why when spring comes so does my zh2 se 2022 🤣🤣🤣

I really want to like these H2 bikes but all of them have a face only a mother could love....

R330k, just for frame, Kawasaki must be bonkers.

Is the supercharger made of lead?! The weight of this bike is a JOKE!! Needs another 20hp for the extra 30kg

Way to expensive the 900 will do the job for half the price

It can hit 300 with a normal sized rider..

HA scooter Tshirt whilst reviewing one of the fastest bikes in the world.

FIRST

Man in leather laughing their leather pants off doing 270 shouldn't have Apple laptops....just too reasonable.

The big brother is a she?!? Lol!!!

I'm sure its a really great bike but it looks like dogshite sadly! That front end fairing *gags* :(
