Kawasaki ZH2 review by KNOX

With 1 in 3 motorcycles purchased now being from the naked sector, we shouldn’t be surprised that manufacturers are innovating in order to stay ahead. But with the ZH2, Kawasaki haven’t just bolted on a piece of tech to their range topper… they’ve strapped a supercharger to it!

For 2020 Kawasaki have made a huge footprint in the Super Naked sector with their 1000cc supercharged Kawasaki ZH2 2020. A different take than a lot of the new competition in the sector, the ZH2 very much builds on the attributes that other Zed bikes are famous for, but brings a thrust with it more comparable to a Jet than a combustion engined motorcycle. In short, the ZH2 is an incredible do it all bike that can be ridden every day in pretty much every riding environment, but doing so with more performance and drama than most would ever have the guts to use!

In our ZH2 acceleration testing, we took the bike in excess of 150mph on the airfield and its performance was incredible, neck and neck with KTM’s 1290 SuperDUKE R in a straight-line, and then saying “good night” to it on gears above 3rd in roll on performance. But speed isn’t all the ZH2 is about, it’s a great handling road bike, often overlooked by other media in our opinion, and while less sporting than others, holds a great line!

Like any bike out there, there are a couple of niggles that we found and discuss in the video, but make no mistake, the Kawasaki ZH2 is an incredible motorcycle and we loved every minute with it!
