presentation of the Z H2 2024

Kawasaki has gone crazy in its roadster clan. An H2 with handlebars and no fairing. A hyperfighter like no other! An almost surreal machine for the emotions and engineering enthusiasts. Based on H2 and H2 SX technology, the Z H2 is the only compressor-equipped roadster on the market. Enough to send you to Mars.

200 horsepower. Crazy stuff. Akashi's hyperfighter spits out the same power as the H2 when it first came out. Power equivalent to that of an R1 or GSX-R 1000. With the famous compressor blowing in its guts, the Z H2 promises huge racket kicks in the back with every acceleration. There's horsepower... and then there's the way the boiler distributes it. With H2s, it's the big heart that lifts the rider's heart with every twist of the throttle.
This block has been reworked to deliver more low- and mid-range torque. The maximum torque is a staggering 14 mkg.

While the Z H2 benefits from the compressor and trellis frame of its pressurized cousins, it has other technical attributes. No single-sided swingarm, but a ZX-10R-type unit. Brembo M4.32 calipers are used for braking.
Anti-lock braking system and shifter are present, as are a host of buttons on the commodos, obviously borrowed from the Versys SE. All you need to control the numerous electronic assistants to prevent the Z from sending you flying out of every bend. There's KIBS intelligent braking, an IMU inertial unit, stop-start assist, 3-mode KTRC traction control, 2 power modes, cruise control, and a handsome TFT color display with smartphone connectivity.

Based on H2 technology, the meanest Z in the family recovers one of its shortcomings: weight. With an all-up total of 239 kilos, the power-to-weight ratio is less frightening than the total power output. It's the heaviest of the hyper-roadsters, but its technology and the character of its pressurized mechanics make it a furious fighter.
The price tag will dampen many an ardor, but this is no ordinary roadster. A blend of aggression, fury and madness reserved for those who just can't get enough of it.

French Model 2024
A bike that's easy to ride and yet so hard-hitting with its engine, braking and gearbox. I'm thinking of reluctantly selling it to make the comfortable duo its only flaw Rating : 5/5
Poignées chauffantes
Is it equipped with heated handles? Rating : 4/5
Incroyable machine
French Fred30 Model 2020
The idea behind this bike is to have a machine that's different from the others in every way, both mechanically and aesthetically. Wanting to change machines, I started by trying out several (V4S, MV1000R, S1000R, 1290R), well, most of the pretenders to the throne... They all have their qualities and, of course, their faults...However, none of the others have a compressor (so they don't have the same feel, acceleration and acceleration) and can claim such a daring style (you've got a bike that's different from all the others, and personally, I LOVE it...). And it's for all these reasons that I've chosen this INCREDIBLE machine, which for the moment, for me, is out of the ordinary. Every outing is a treat, with shifting, acceleration, acceleration, engine torque and comfort (when you're 1.83m tall, it's perfect). To each his own, I've found mine... Enjoy the ride and dare to change... Rating : 5/5
French Model 2024
Really a great bike. Its looks will set you apart from the rest, and it delivers intoxicating sensations. In 6th gear at 50 kms/h, it goes on and on! Rating : 5/5
French Model 2024
I'm almost tempted by its engine bestiality, but I have a real problem with its looks. I no longer recognize Kawasaki, my favorite motorcycle brand of the 70s and 80s, when it comes to the design of its bikes. It's really become quite ugly now ... Rating : 5/5
French Model 2024
Exceptional motorcycle! When you accelerate, you're sure to feel the thrill! ✌️ Rating : 5/5
Le top
French Richy91 Model 2020
Comfortable, precise and powerful
A marvel!

Après l'essai
French Sangokay s1000rr Model 2020
Having tried the zh2 as a duo, the bike is really very pleasant, the comfort is there and I felt like I was in my armchair. Braking and suspension are still the main drawbacks of this bike (after all, this is in comparison with the 2017 s1000r and 2 s1000rr that I've owned and still own). The smoothness at low revs is a killer in 6th gear at 60km/h, when you hit the throttle it goes right away. A very maneuverable bike despite its weight, which you don't feel once you're on it. Rating : 4/5
Horrible
French iomedes Model 2020
I think the 2010 Z1000 sold pretty well, thanks to a bold design...that bike was striking for its avant-garde design and razor-sharp lines
This new Z "H2" looks like a set of pipes, the rear is a mess, the front is just crude with that huge headlight!...with the arrival of LEDs, a headlight like that, it's not done anymore

I'll make a bet with you
Who's going to pay top dollar for a horrible bike?... Only those who can afford to show off.

Honestly, from you to me, I'm attaching 3 photos, and tell me if you find your Z elegant by comparison

photo number 1 (H2 with 2014 Z1000 headstock), I'll sign the check, and it wasn't hard to design...and market
Photo number 2 (DUCATI), I think I'll take it (no choice), this line!...real respect for the customer
photo number 3 (look at the rear, at KAWASAKI, are you lacking inspiration?...I'd really like to meet your designers, sometimes, I tell myself that pumping a little inspiration "elsewhere", your customers won't hold it against you)

Given the danger that motorcycles represent, KAWASAKI has forgotten that for a motorcyclist, performance is not enough, a motorcycle must be beautiful to look at, it must be desirable to its owner who must be proud of it
I'm out for a ride and I see it parked... your Z "H2", I wouldn't waste the space of my photo memory



I'm now eyeing the new 2020 Ducati STREETFIGHTER V4

I was planning to replace my 2010 Z1000 with one of the brand's models (faithful for so long), but I haven't found anything "motivating", DUCATI has done it hard, very hard. (no, but look at the headlight with the Z "H2", what a joke!...have you seen the KTM 1290 headlight?...the Yamaha R1 headlights?...the 2020 ducat streetfighter (her again)...
Is that your image, your conception of motorcycle evolution?...shit...but it's scary. Where's the much hoped-for purity of line?...are we going to stay with "Malaysian-style Jacky tuning"?..
It's time to change the "artistic direction" at KAWA, I think it's too late, but hey...if the design changes, the brand's already sloppy DNA will lose all coherence
From elegantly designed models (2010) to grotesque designs (2014-2020), customers would get lost, playing roulette year after year to replace their bikes. One moment beautiful, the next ugly... what can you do?

In any case, you've really disappointed me

Let's take a look at the sales, shall we?

See you soon (maybe in 2024, I change my bike every 4 years on average, but really maybe).

French Marsu77200 Model 2020
The speedometer is still too small

The rear tire seems smaller than before...too bad

The exhaust is not well designed
