Hi Robbie, my mate got a second hand one of these last year, has only been out a handful of times because of the weather. But, it’s an absolute animal, he’s had Gsxr1000s zx10s etc, this thing is in a different league. I sat on it and was surprised how light and comfy it was. You’ll enjoy yourself on that. Andy.

There's a few videos of this bike on YT. 209mph in as much time as it takes to blink. Insanely fast and it handles too! Have fun with it!

I test rode the ZH2 last year and was seriously impressed. It was fantastic to ride and comedy fast. How they managed to make it so easy to ride round town then absolutely bonkers when you open it up is beyond belief. It made my MT10 feel dated and slow!
The pcp deal was good too.
I may just get one this year it’s only the thought of another pcp or finance deal that puts me off, all my other bikes are paid for.

My mate has the ZH2 naked bike, I'd test ridden these 3 times now, loved it each time and finally bit the bullet, my current KTM 1290 GT has 20,000 miles on it and uses oil, enough to warrant changing given the known valve issues and the repair costs of the fault. I've had R1, ZX10R, Busa and ZZR1400 in the past and didn't expect to find much quicker than these were but the H2 SX certainly goes extremely well. Looking forward to it now.  |

Very nice indeed mate... I loved the first , original Supercharged models, when they came out in 2015. They really are a quality thing, the detail is amazing and technically very interesting eh? So much so I had to have one , just to feel what a forced induction bike feels like while we can, I sold the RD500 to fund a H2 and was lucky enough to buy a H2 Carbon edition this last week. Apparently Kawasaki cant get this spec engine through Euro 5 so could well be the last year they come into the UK/Europe... Ill be getting rid of the exhaust for a full system and then having it remapped. Insurance is a killer mind! Who you getting covered by?   |

You are making me feel like I should get one too!! What is most impressive is how smooth and rideable they are around town. I've had R1's, Speed trip, S1000R's and now the MT10 and the ZH2 impressed me more than any of them. |

That looks stunning  I'm with BeMoto on a Titanium policy, current KTM 1290GT was £212.42 for last years renewal in October, I've rang to advise of the change and I had to pay £48.00 extra for the remaining 6 months of my policy to change it over to the H2 SX. I already have a set of Titanium ZX10R headers and link pipe waiting to decat and remap the H2, also have a radiator guard and tail tidy waiting...just need the bike, it's going to be a long 10 days. |

Bemoto is only 1 of 2 insurers that would quote me. I think ill have to leave it for a year before any engine mods. You know that shiny paint finish cant be replicated or touched in? First trip is to have some PPF film fitted , like you im having a tail tidy and rad guard fitted prior to pick up. When are you taking collection of it? |

No, unfortunately not, next few days hopefully During the PDI it was picked up the 2 recalls were due on the bike, one part, a bearing, they had in stock, the other part, an oil pressure switch, they didn't. So I have to wait for that to arrive from Belgium as Kawasaki won't allow them to release the bike until it is done as its classed as safety critical. Should hopefully hear some news today. |

Huh…i also had to wait a couple more days as my bike also had to have the oil pressure switch recall. Hopefully soon mate. |
