Im with you. There is something about the zh2 that just hits the button for me. My first street bike was and still have, the ZX12R! Got a GTR1400 , klr650 and KX500! I love Kawasaki bikes!!
I Was exactly the same researched for 2 years, nice exhaust man! I love mine, only had it 3 months but OMG what a bike its a true, let me say gentleman, but when you rip it OMG
@@dorstefan you’re right, the ZH2 is v smooth and after 6500kms on it I’m used to the way it pulls - and pulls and pulls if you want it to. But when I first rode it the bike was like nothing I’d ridden before and the way it looks ‘beast’ does come to mind - total blast! 👊
@@Donotcareabyouropinion Ha yeh. You can keep it tame of course but it’s not what it was built for and the monster is always grumbling and twittering there ready to be released at any moment! 😁🤙
Slowly getting used to it. I find it great going up through the gears but get a kind of delay going down through the lower gears sometimes but I think I’m just doing it wrong! Revs too low maybe to use it.
im PURE TEAM GREEN! I bought a new 2020 Z900 after no bike 31 years and dirt bike only! i LOVE the H2 every version!!! hello from Arkansas! i got a 2022 KLX 300 for street and trails, dirt tires not SM,
Hi, I had a hiatus of about 20years too but so glad I’ve got right back into motorcycles in the last few years - I just find riding incredibly therapeutic and great for your mental health to be regularly alone in your helmet thinking nothing at all apart from intensely concentrating on the bike and the road!
Definitely planning to do that and hear what it sounds like - hard to capture just how loud it is with the dB killer in in video! It’s actually bloody loud!
I can tell you Harry, its just an exquisite all rounder road bike - cruises so smooth but boy o boy if you want to unleash the hooligan in you its a wicked tool for that!
Brocks sounds and looks brilliant! Watch all on the Brocks Performance videos on the ZH2. Had thought I’d get one too but finally went for the Vandemon. Definitely thinking of getting one of his steering dampers - they look the neatest and simplest install.
I had one , went to a 1290 superduke , realised despite it looking awesome sounding awesome and going well the superduke was not me , I have gone back to a zh2 this time the se due to the comfort smoothness and it’s good manners. Yours looks sweet , I found my old ran a little fluffy at low revs with a can on it but it sounded lovely (loud)
Yeh love the look and sound of both the superduke and streetfighter and if you wanted to do track days with them I get it but I didn’t want to feel like I had to work it every time I got on! The ZH2 is the perfect cruiser/hooligan road bike. And the twittering sound of that supercharger just sets it apart from anything in its class!
So how tall are you? I tried to sit on a 2019 and the person over at the dealership said you look uncomfortable but I didn't. I'm thinking of putting a deposit down to get one in a dealership near me
I’m 183cm tall. The ZH2 is very comfortable for me - flat foot no problem. I think the seat height on a ZH2 is slightly above average at 830mm. The form and tapering of the seat helps too. Hope you enjoy it. Puts a smile on my face every-time I jump on! Cheers

Ha, yeh, did do the air filter but not sure it’s worth it for me to mess with the ecu- I generally use less than half the throttle most of the time as it is😁👊 but every now and then it nice know that there isn’t much out there quicker off the lights - you know just getting well out in front of the traffic for safety!
Ha, yes, still alive and lovin the bike! Did have a moment a week or so ago racing an MT10! Front wheel up doing about 150 and hit a small pot hole that sent me veering off at an angle across the road. No real problem tho. Love the MT10...but they're a bit slow!!😁
I have a 2023 ZH2 as well. You spend all that money and you don't get rid of those ugly-ass mirrors for some nice barends?? And stop clutching and use the doggone quickshifter!!
