@@gpzfan5272 So you mean to say all countries with large populations 'must and should' have a load of legendary brands. These Japanese motorcycle companies were started nearly 80 - 90 years ago. That time Japan's population was not 130,000,000. And not everyone of that population is going about making motorcycles, cars, electronics and consumer goods. Don't kid me when you say it's hardly astounding. People around the world are aware of the high quality, reliability, and technology exclusive to Japan and it's culture. There are a few Japanese companies that are nearly a 1000 years old...in fact there is Japanese construction company over 1000 years listed as the oldest company ever. And Japan is definitely and certainly a small country. That's astounding.
@@1andtheOnly well it still isn’t astounding is it, it’s impressive I suppose, but not astounding. Europe for example has a lower population density than Japan but it has many many times more historic brands across cars, engineering and motorcycling. One country boasting four manufacturers isn’t astounding in the least.
@@gpzfan5272 You're sounding more like a troll out to prove a point. How silly can you be when you compare a continent to a country. Europe has many different cultures. And the Japanese brands mentioned are just motorcycling brands. Don't forget that. Okay for your sake.... even if you put all of Europe's historic brands together it would be less in comparison to Japan!
@@gpzfan5272 And European cars and bikes are unreliable shit, backed up by facts. If they could build something that was reliable, now that would be astounding.
Just brought mine today. And it’s awesome, so fast, so comfortable, and also has cruise control. The supercharge, is like being on a rocket. That’s the best way, I can describe it. Honestly it’s unreal.
I’ve never owned a Kawasaki, but I’ve ridden many. This bike looks exciting. I love how they are packing so much tech into the bikes now. Supercharged?! Yeah because Kawasaki’s have never been fast enough LOL. I don’t think I’ve ridden a slow Kaw. I don’t even consider the Ninja 250 to be slow...at least not in the corners. Can’t wait to see this bike on the streets.
Orgasmic at least! Congatulations to everyone for this masterpiece of a machine! I'm definitely looking forward in giving my 2007 Kawasaki Z for this! The come back of the colour is an awesome move!
Expected and maybe in the future the R1 and similar bikes are going to have the same fate because naked bikes and adventure bikes are more popular than ever
@@santiagomoralesgarcia1802 Yeah Probably Bro! Cuz Naked Superbikes Now brang their own hype! for me it is good that naked superbikes also have hype but i wish that superbike's hype should be remained in other class *THEIR OWN CLASS!*
Just tested it's an amazing machine so stable. The problem is those side plastic bits under the tank push out your legs so it gets uncomfortable. If you get on the ninja 1000 it's a lot more comfortable. Not sure why no one is bringing up this issue.
@@raynic1173 I have seen the new zX10... my point was it needs a supercharger and electronic adjustable suspension, mag/carbon wheels etc... a range topper to complete with Hondas SP and Aprillia and Ducati S and R versions
@@MoNikAiman that's what bike riding is all about, you know what works for you,easy to carry small riveting tool but I've only used a angle grinder to flatten rivets, i haven't been brave enough to press chain off without grinding, safe riding nik man
@@MoNikAiman shaft drive will be more expensive when you get out the credit card, but the thing when compared to chains is you won't bring the card out again no maintenance
Kawasaki why don’t you give the ZH2 a steering damper? That would be much appreciated!!! All the others hyper naked bikes have one, KTM 1290R, BMW S1000R, Ducati streetfighter V4S and even the Yamaha MT-10 has one but not the ZH2?
My heart belongs to Kawasaki all my bikes before and now it’s Kawasaki. But unfortunately where I am living(China) price for ZH2 even a bit expensive then Ducati street fighter V4S 😓😔ZH2 price in China 34K$+9% of price for Tex. It’s really crazy 😱😂
@@MrKacperk Sure. For me the Zh2 is wider and heavier than the SuperDuke. I enjoy tight curve riding and while they make similar power. 200(Zh2) vs 177(SDR), the Duke does weigh almost 100lb less. Its easily more useable in the mountains. I love the way it makes torque vs the Z. I came from a 2015 z1000 and loved it, you sat in the bike. You were what Id call in the bike and the Duke reminds me of that bike where the Zh2 felt more like a sportbike that you sat ontop of with a set of handle bars. Now each customer will be different, this is just my .02.
8.4K 👍 Gorgeous Machine ♥ unfortunately I'm one of compact and light weight technology's..becoming one with the bike is 🔑 to ultimate sacrifice when becoming one with the machine ♥ the only thing I'd change would be the exhaust components..short compact over the rear wheel in a quad duel exhaust..side pipes are a thing of the past ♥
when kawasaki want to enter zxr25 4 cylinder in Malaysia market ??? many interested people in malaysia are waiting for 4 cylinders from kawasaki to enter the Malaysian motoring market
Would it be a dangerous jump from Ninja 400 to this? Any feedback would be appreciated. A little detail about me as a rider/person. I'm risk averse, too scared to go super fast. Always prioritize safety over fun. Don't like to live on edge. So overall, I'd say I'll respect the machine and be responsible. WIth that said, is this jump not recommended? Thanks.
Hey you'd be better off stepping up to a Z900 or what I bought, the Z900RS. It's got power but a Retro design with a flat seat. If you prefer the Insect Look then do a Z900....
What's truly a shame is that I know of a few people that recently bought the se model and not one single dealership mentioned the upcoming changes and that's even when the salesperson was asked "what's new on the 2021 model???" Crickets...Truly a shame. Kawi should, at the very least, offer people that bought the se within the last 6 months to purchase the suspension components and ecu at a discounted price because that rear shock is absolute garbage. We need some good faith here
