Their going retire the mighty ZX-14, I've waited over 10 years for ZX-15 with supercharger from the jet ski. Verry happy with my ZX-14 turbocharged for touring, looking on getting this for city blasting,nice full exhaust and BST Carbon fiber rims that's about 60 lbs lighter,then with these upgrades your at Ducati's V4R price range and personally better overall bike.

    Second thoughts why don't Kawasaki make a Ninja 636 supercharged engine rather than making the already powerful fast Ninja 1000cc engine even more insanely powerful? Maybe it's just an arms race of power between the manufacturers?

    • @Fearless154
      @Fearless154 4 роки тому

      Why would anyone want anything like 636 supercharged? Only people who still love 600cc class is the track guys who want the lightest and the most agile sport bike not necessary the most powerful. Adding supercharger will add huge weight to 636 about 40kilos or 88 pound, Jugding from h2's supercharger weight. Bya lso adding around 50-40HP boost. So what is the purpose of 636 which weights 230kilos or 500 pounds with roughly 185HP. It's not as powerful as zx10 nor it's lighter let not mention it won't be cheap as well. When you break it down supercharging 636 it's very dumb idea which has no pros and no one would buy such a thing.
      I can imagine adding supercharger on small cc touring for people who want the most gas economical bike while not losing on the power. Something like versys 650 supercharger could work on paper but still it needs to be very cheap to work. But not on 636.

    • @Texarmageddon
      @Texarmageddon 4 роки тому

      1.) The ZX6R is a heavy bike. If one were to get an ABS version it’s heavier than a Non abs ZX10R and ABS doesn’t add that much weight.
      2.) The ninja 1000 and ZX10r are two different motor philosophies. The ninja 1000 power plant focuses on low and mid range power. The common drawback to that power design is that you lose Top end. That isn’t the case with the design of the H2SX or Z H2.. now you can still have your low end while still hanging with the high HP Supersport liter bikes

    • @Fearless154
      @Fearless154 4 роки тому +1

      @@Texarmageddon You completely pulled information straight from your ass on your first point, Without checking any specs or facts. Zx6r is a heavy bike what? The older model 2013-2017 weight 192 kilos or 425lbs with abs. Newer model weights 190kilos or 420lbs. 2016 Zx10r and on weights 206kilos or 454lbs with abs. Abs systems on the motorcycles these days weight 2kilo or 4.4lbs max usually even lees something between 0.7kilos or 1.5lbs. In no world zx10r abs or non will weight less than zx6r.
      Dude we are not in early 1990 which abs systems weighted around 11kilos or 24lbs on motorcycles now abs systems are very light.
      Get your facts straight before you try to educate someone.
      At least on the second point you didn't mess up.

    • @Texarmageddon
      @Texarmageddon 4 роки тому

      Anton Newman my bad... I fucked up .. zx10r is the porky one... I just woke up. The ZX6R is as heavy as some other liter bikes.
      ZX6R-430lbs
      1299- acclaimed 420 wet weight
      CBR1000RR- 430lbs
      GSXR-1000 440lbs
      Lol, what was even the point of saying this isn’t the 90s anymore when I clearly said abs systems aren’t that heavy? You just proved my point on how close the 600cc bikes are in weight to liter bikes.
      Don’t get mad at me over a pointless bike. The statement still stands the ZX6R is still a heavy bike

    • @Fearless154
      @Fearless154 4 роки тому

      @@Texarmageddon But that's not completely true gsxr1000 weights 445lb and yes cbr1000rr (432lbs) and new s1000rr (434lbs) are simular in weight to new zx6(428lbs) but that's the only expectation without taking into account premium models with light wheels and carbon parts. Also zx6 is heaviest 600, R6 for example weights 418lbs. Even if on the paper it doesn't seem a lot remember that people spend a lot of money to reduce that fewer lbs.
      As for now zx6 is lighter than any base model liter bike and offer the best bang for the buck as far as serious track bikes goes.

      @The Underground Man Supercharger add a lot of weight we are talking about 40kilos or 88 pound judging from h2's supercharger and add boost HP roughly 40-50HP even less because it less powerful engine. Ask yourself do you really need 230kilos or 500pounds 600cc bike with anything between 140HP to 160HP? What is the purpose of that and why not just get natural 1000cc which weight less with same amount of power or even more.

    • @stevesmith6236
      @stevesmith6236 4 роки тому

      The welds do appear a bit inconsistent in places. Obviously done by individuals not robots (I assume). As a welder, some of those tight areas needed to be welded would pose some difficulty as the steel is high strength steel with the frame being mig welded(metal inert gas). I'm not concerned with it as some others are. I'm fully confident they are strong welds with proper penetration. TIG welding would be much more attractive but a longer more expensive process that just isn't do-able for a mass produced vehicle.

    Hi Mark,
    Usual high quality. Cracker!
    If you didn't lose your life riding this, you'd definitely lose your license. I know most bikes are pretty fast now including your Ninja 636 right up to all the manufacturers' top sports and naked bikes, all of them, but along with the S1000RR and Panigale V4S this H2 seems on a whole new level if your review is anything to go by. I am sure the supercharger adds another element of excitement but tbh I didn't think the engine sounded that refined at least at idle for a one litre in line 4. I think Suzuki makes some of the nicest sounding litre in line 4 cylinder bikes although I've never owned a GSXR 1000. My old CBR11100 Blackbird had a silky smooth engine with almost instant throttle response. You had to be constantly watching your speed as it was so easy to get well into triple figures.
    But I think this Ninja H2 supercharged is probably a little too much for temptation and probably too nutz for the road. The only place you could ride it properly to it's limits would be on a race track or on a German Autobahn.
    Thanks for making and posting.

      The most inexpensive model is all black without any decals. If you have the opportunity go and see one in person. The green framed one has gloss paint as does the black framed base model. Unless clear coated over, the decals can easily be removed.

      With an aftermarket slip-on muffler(can for you in the UK), a small windshield (Kaw does offer one for this bike), and a "tail tidy" the Z H2 will look awesome in my opinion.
      There's no denying it's smooth powerful, supercharged engine, very comfortable seating position, competent handling and of course it's fierce acceleration.
