The SCARIEST Road Legal Motorcycle You Can Buy...

[@gfred56]

Confirmed Rollercoaster Fan (one-time) 😅 and as for ZH2 Motorcycle, I Want One!! Your video is very informative and helpful in my firm conclusion that this particular Kawasaki is on my Bucket list 😀

[@huambo]

Hi bud, great videos. Totally respect you for riding this thing without TC on. So easy to light up the rear end on these things (I have one) They are indeed bonkers.

[@MrJaden318]

You mentioned how Kawasaki made the ZH2 to put out in the competition in hypernakeds. When I first heard about the ZH2, what I thought was "So Kawasaki did a line of booger sugar and asked themselves 'How can we put the "hyper" in hypernaked?"'

Zh2 in sport mode feels brutal✊🔥🔥3th gear wheelie, S1000r feels like a 600😂in

Great review, have one too! and went from a BMW R90 GS to this and holy crap the difference is as you say scary but have done 3500 miles incident free apart from a puncture in mid-Wales, fantastic road bike, ground the pegs a few times but that's comfort for you, and yes been caught out on hard throttle with the front wheel coming up unexpectedly, ride it with respect and very rewarding with the supercharged torque curve, I know you can modify them from ECU, rear sprocket for gearing, exhaust etc, but cost and life come to mind ;-)

[@L3v3LLIP]

For reference I did 95% throttle in first one time on a H2 SX with the longer wheelbase and TRC/Wheelie control on 2. I was a little surprised the electronics kicked in really late, great wheelie :D Would not recommend tho, to violent in first.

[@AntiPattern328]

If you're talking about a stock ZH2, that thing is absolutely neutered from the factory. Now throw a tune on that baby and the 200+ ho it throws out will show you the real meaning of scary. You'll be buying 6" swingarm extensions the next day and it will still scare the crap out of you as well as win the drag race with ease.

It's interesting, I was searching for a "dumb"/fun bike this summer and borrowed one of these for a weekend thinking it would be ridiculous... and it was, but I didn't find it scary at all. I think the linearity of the power and the extra weight of it made it feel tamer, even with all the electronics off. I ended up with a Super Duke Evo, which genuinely feels like it wants to loop itself if you turn the electronics off. The Z H2 was a close second, but it was just too... practical.

[@AndrewS4s]

Would love to see more of the zzr1400 😂

[@bombaya85]

I just test rode a Hayabusa yesterday, sad to say it was not a good fit for me, and comparing it with the ZZR1400 on the motonomics website, they are very similar in ergonomics. So, my next bike will have to be a ZH2... I`m absolutely shivering with anticipation.

[@Jameson-ks4bj]

Man the zx14r is fast off the floor, now with full exhaust, air filter and a tune it's even more rocket 🚀

[@jacob_m.w9889]

great video ,keep it up :)

[@nickphilpot]

Agreed with you

[@TheLifeOfMartin]

I have a CB500F and a Z125 pro. My friend let me ride his and no lie, I was scared it would be jerky and hard to drive. It was so fun and honestly, not really that scary at all as long as I know what I'm dealing with lol. long story short, a lot tamer than I thought, but still much faster than my bikes, obviously.

[@Rayk76]

Its a tough call between this and the 1390 superduke, had u considered the ktm ?

[@michaelmckinney9251]

The Joker!! 😂

[@alexanderfontaine1999]

Highly dangerous and potentially unstable? Sounds like my type… 😍

[@dazasakigarage]

You call it scary try having it Dynod and that exhaust changed

[@richardsimmons6526]

I've never rode a bike. I haven't went full throttle on.

[@banabread1113]

love the yamaha keychain ;P

[@richardsimmons6526]

I'm thinking about buying one and immediately putting a tune with exhaust. 230hp wheel.

[@philipschofield7105]

Just ask the dealer to flash the ecm with the h2 map. Or if they're willing to h2r map. Godspeed to you sir and may God have mercy on your underwear.

[@richardsimmons6526]

@@philipschofield7105 not how it works. Different engines.

[@cliffjohnson7960]

Hey what is the point of a supercharged bike that is like a Bucking bronko.a short wheel base that defeates all the joy of the engine.Give me the zx1400 r or the possibility the 1500r sign me up for the bike you have in your garage. You said it that bike is useless discontinued in less than 3years waste of money for the buyer and the manufacturer TTYL Cliff

[@superduperkid3143]

Though an amazing bike the ZH2 is so damn ugly.

[@wb7942]

Wrong road 🐑...

[@garyparietti5124]

Zh can literally make 250whp if the tuner allows it to go that far but the smart tuners hold it back to 220-230 because the zh engine isn’t as good as the ninja. And 220-230 is still more than literally any other bike can make..

[@elianderson3956]

Zh2 engine is basically identical to an h2 engine aside from different head flow and the zh2 having slightly higher compression pistons otherwise they are both the same with cast pistons and identical bottom ends

[@garyparietti5124]

@@elianderson3956 actually the zh has smaller cams and less valve spring.. h2 also has oil squirters for the pistons and zh doesn’t.. this in particular is absolutely huge for the engines longevity making big power.. and idk what different about the bottom end but the only thing in the rotating assembly that’s got the same part number is the rod so clearly there’s something different about the bottom end also

[@garyparietti5124]

@@elianderson3956supercharger is also a different part number.. couldn’t tell you what’s different about that either but it’s kinda hard to sit there and say it’s basically the same engine.. it’s pretty clear the ninja is the superior of the two

[@elianderson3956]

@@garyparietti5124 extreme creations did a video on this and from what he says they are pretty similar and he’s making 300hp on a zh2 and it’s not blowing up so that says something about their reliability

[@garyparietti5124]

@@elianderson3956 300 hp on one dyno is 250 on another.. and I’d like to see the bike do a few back to back 0-200-0 pulls on a hot ass day without melting down before I’d hand that the seal of approval

[@garyparietti5124]

You’re supposed to tune the zh.. it’s nothing special without it.. and no besides the real h2 there are no motorcycles more powerful than the zh.. bikes that do not have their ecu unlocked simply just do not count and comparing restricted bikes is arrogantly stupid and I’m tired of KZbinrs and reviewers doing it.. tune the damn bikes then compare them

[@helgejohan3604]

180hp on the wheel, feels a lot faster then a zzr 1400✊🔥
