Kawasaki Z H2

[bogie]

I just dont like the styling ...and getting a bit heavy for a sporty naked.

The anti wheelie must be working overtime on something with such a short wheelbase and 200bhp, so you do have to wonder just how much faster you can accelerate in a straight line as you are limited by physics. If the electronics are reigning it in every time you crack the throttle its just bragging rights at the local bike meet

Anyone ride a Superduke 1290 and think "oooh it sure could do with another 30bhp for better wheelies" ? ...i didn't

The "Economical Riding Indicator" clinched it for me.

Where do I sign?

But you turn it all off for better wheelies, clutch it up in 4th instead of 3rd.

Not as standard. I think a bit of tweaking will help and there's the 15995 price which is keen

What would be a pretty supernaked then?

I mean they're not a handsome bunch....

Perhaps not 'pretty' but I think KTM tend to get the look right. Subjective of course.

That rear wheel looks shockingly awful!! Nearly as bad as those crap looking carbon jobbies rotobox bought out a couple of years ago.
However loving the colour mock ups, why can’t Kawasaki use some imagination in their colour schemes FFS!!!

Until you said that I hadn't noticed! now I can't unnotice it. It looks like a boy racer car wheel from Halfords
It Wouldn't stop me considering one if I were in the market though

I still think it looks decent overall

That rear wheel is the modified bike though??, the cheep looking 5 spoke isn't on the standard bike

Z H2 will use swingarm like a 10R, not single sided like the H2

Yep these are some concept pics. I can see in he zed head world a lot of modifications etc

I did a ride out through London with them a few months back and you see everything and anything with the zed bikes

For me personally its too heavy and not for me looks wise
