I also have 2023 ZH2 SE! Haha😂 it's really a very very good bike even it become my daily driver because it can be tame, but also tops out everything and I love this bike
A lot of people do a great job with riding reviews. I try to cover what they can't. Having said that, I'll still do some riding reviews too, but this is my bread and butter. Thanks for watching!
Love your videos brother. The perfect angles . The high quality camera, perfect sound and pace. All other channels are just riding around town on the bike and talking too much, without any focus or details . You are precise ,keep up the good work and never change .
Ride one first, it’s very fast but the power delivery is not smooth, it’s kinda sudden and a bit strange, it’s absolutely amazing at low speeds though, filtering through traffic it’s literally like a scooter, it’s so easy to ride
I got the 47th ever build engine build of this series. Yes i got the paperwork to prove it.❤ how much you think its worth atm with only 3.500 km on it? Its more you quess😂 😮😮😮😮
One month ago I asked you if you were going to review the Kawasaki ZH 2. It appears you have laid your hands on one now thanks to Jim Gilbert’s. Or perhaps it was a little gentle persuasion on your behalf? It was worth waiting for. Lovely bike and an excellent video as always Peter. Thank you!
Great help ( and I was born handicap with a learning disability so you vids really help beings I can’t comprehend tech manuals all that well. Speaking of . . . I have the 2024 ZH2 SE ABS & I’m struggling to understand the manual. My question is after spending 48hrs trying to find out how to turn on quick shift, I’m not sure how to lock in that choice ( on / off ) . So does my entrance go away if I just turn the key off ? Or is my choice locked in? How do I lock in a choice ? Can these decisions during TFT set up be performed without the engine running ? ( key on , but no engine ) Will that harm the battery fuel pump or anything else if the key is on but engine is off while I’m trying to set up my TFT ? Is there a safe time limit to make these desision ? I hate to let the engine idle for any length of time due to the negative issues that can arise from that. I’m so frustrated!!

Your effort and way of giving review. It’s an amazing and hat’s off to you. Great work 👍 please keep it up 🫡. What what be your input will be, if someone looking for daily ride in summer plus rest of the year in Texas area. Weather is major concern as far as summer?
@@grimey5.565 dammit kawasaki, what are they intend to do anyway ? To make it cheaper ? No poor guy could buy 1000cc bike, so their market target must be rich yet, they are lazy enough to give steering damper while the know adding steering damper and make better suspension is affordable enough to a man that has capability to buy 1000cc bike..... yet they give supercharger?
Anything that puts out this much power is going to use some fuel. These aren't terrible for fuel efficiency, but there are definitely better options if efficiency if your number one goal.
@@PeterLoweOne Thanks, Peter. I'll guess this will get maybe 35 miles per gallon, but you're right that fuel efficiency is not a top priority for a very fast motorcycle like the H2. Nice review, thanks again.
@BlackArroToons I have a 2024 Z H2 and it gets about 40MPG, if I'm not heavy on the throttle. That's better then what I thought it was going to get. I've seen it go from 47MPG to about 20MPG also.
@@theredguy4845 Thanks. For a very powerful bike, that is good to hear. I've heard some top end bikes only get about 35 or less mpg. For comparison, my Ninja 650 '21 can average 50 to 65 mpg if not going above 75 mph. 65 mpg at 55 mph. Fuel prices being so high in 2024, it's good to save when possible by taking things a bit slower, and get longer range per tank. I was able to reach 210 miles recently on a 4.0 gallon tank by taking lots of back roads that are generally slower paced 55 mph and less. If I crank the throttle fast most times, I'm lucky to get 175 miles range per tank as I'm discovering.
I film in Canada where we (and just about all of the rest of the English speaking world) pronounce Zee as Zed. Pretty much only Americans say Zee. So I'm calling it by the correct name for where I live and film.
I own a 2023 ZH2; this is the best presentation on this bike I have seen. I appreciate your time, thank you.
Thanks so much for your kind words, and thanks for watching!

@@Halzion_Alpha Im really wondering which one I should buy , either Zh2 SE or Streetfighter v4s , I like both
21 SE
@@anassaadaoui1596can’t go wrong with either
Some of the best reviews on RUclips. No riding distractions. Just focus on the bike and its features.

Best salesman on the web maybe even alive...
It does have rider mode,you can configure the suspension,traction and power in this,I have a 2023 SE Uk model.
Appreciate the in depth review!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Wish I could just order this in black.
Yes. The 2021 they offered it in all black. I ended up getting red and black when I got my 22, but wished they offered all black.
Now this is a proper review
With good credit how much would the monthly payments be?
250

Is there risers available for this bike?
If you guys still have this I’d be interested in picking it up. I’m in SJ.

How much price
Sorry if i miss it but does the bike have any form of steering damper ?
No. I bought aftermarket for mine.
Does it has electronic steering damper as well like mt 10 sp ?
No and to me it's one of the only downfalls of the bike. Brock's make a aftermarket steering damper but it is close to 700!

What does an electronic steering dampener do ? I’m just a casual rider , no racing, do I need one ? Thank , Gerddy from NJ 6/29/24 .
Nice review of the H2! I think these super powered bikes drink fuel much quicker than smaller, 2 cylinder engines, so less fuel efficiency?
Anything that puts out this much power is going to use some fuel. These aren't terrible for fuel efficiency, but there are definitely better options if efficiency if your number one goal.

@@BlackArroToons Luckily, I live in the south. Gas prices are lower in the south.
Cool motorcycle, but I can't see the green color it has. My son just told me that since I am colorblind(protanopia)
Haha! Well it's a GREAT green, but only on the frame and other details.
Price
I rarely list pricing in my videos as they can change. Up to date pricing can always be found at www.kawasaki.ca
its 35000usd where i live. Is it worth it?
No its not. ZH2 17,500
The H2 is 35,000
Worth every penny.
Sad they've never made a VulcanH2.
Haha... I'm not sure I'd want to be in a cruiser riding position when I twist the throttle on that bike... you better have strong fingers to hold on!!
@@PeterLoweOneI can already imagine my hands slip with the tork
Can't find a 2024 model anywhere. Not even to see in the new england area.
It’s sitting in New Brunswick right now. Canadians are pretty lucky to have a dealer like Jim Gilbert’s Powersports here in Fredericton.
Dumb question but why is it called a “ZED”
I film in Canada where we (and just about all of the rest of the English speaking world) pronounce Zee as Zed. Pretty much only Americans say Zee. So I'm calling it by the correct name for where I live and film.
Hi Peter - I must do better….. I’m not first😂
Just cooking evening meal here…
I'm getting ready to watch the total solar eclipse that's happening this afternoon here. We're in the path of totality and my kids are excited.
@@PeterLoweOne yes, nice part of the world. My mother’s family have links in Canada.
Shame we never visited…
First!!!
I have owned a lot of bikes. The 2020 ZH2 with 10k miles and every single mile has been a blast.😂🎉😢😅
