Its so much better looking when you see it in the metal. I bought the non-SE 2023. I love it, and yes it goes through fuel but its good compared to other bikes in the same category :)
@@garyrhode3755 I still own the bike, zero problems and still lots of fun. I changed the pipe which reduced weight, improved feel at throttle and a little more power. Strangely, I get a lot of compliments about the looks. I love it.
This bike ruined all super sport motorcycles for me, I will never look at them the same. Instant kick in the face of power matched with a very comfortable riding position. It will ruin a lot of other motorcycles for you tbh.
I have a 2022 and am really enjoying it. Power delivery is incredibly consistent and skyhook really stabilizes the ride on bumpy canyon roads. I had a S1000RR before the ZH2 and the Kawi doesn't match the handling, but it seems meant to be more of an all-arounder. Personally, I think the design is freakin cool. Dragon-esk design scheme with the metallic green paint rocks.
A very fun bike even if it's not the most beautiful. On the other hand, it will be the only engine with 200 hp that will be reliable over time. Hence its weight.
@@denist1593 I like the look of the Kawasaki, but I think it deserves a custom paint job. This is my opinion, some will find it beautiful from the start.
In 2019, I told my dealer to get me one. I would NOT have bought the 2020 had I known the SE was coming out in 2021. I added a slip on exhaust, Sprint Air Filter, flashed the ECU and added a lot of carbon fiber.
50 years ago Frankenstein's daughter, the Z1 was born. Almost 40 years back the GPZ 900R was a worthy niece of Frankenstein's. He, ol' Frankie, got a worthy great niece in the ZH2/ZH2 SE most definitely 👍
It's worth noting the 2020 ZH2 had 36 mm throttle bodies. 2021 and later went to 40 mm. My 2020 has had a top speed of 288 kph / 179 Mph at 5500 ' altitude on a good run. My 2022 got to 292 Kph / 181 Mph on it's 1st run, shutting off 100 yards early from my marker. Will go faster on a good day. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T8DZ1Y3MoFk.html
I have the 2023 Z H2 non-SE, great bike. Not a track bike, nevertheless, great fast street-bike and light touring. And true, don't loan it out to someone with a 49cc. LoL Thank you for the review.
