Yammie at some previous videos: I've grown as a rider, i don't need to go fast on the street to have fun, its stupid to push a bike on the streets, go to a track. Yammie now: 🐙.Kawasaki goes BRRRR
After buying a ZH2, I agree with 110% of what you're saying. I've been through 5 other bikes including a ZX-10 and a Z1000.. the ZH2 is something worth having
I’m going to get it as my first bike only because I very much respect what the bike can do compared to what I can do. No rush to go fast, safety is first.
He is a good salesman but I've also confirmed by other reviews that this is as good as he says so I think this is genuine enthusiasm. People say it's in a category of it's own.
It's totally standard that they make a what we love and what we hate video separately about each bike. I'm ready to see spites living with video, but I'm sure they don't want to leave it in his parking garage.
Finally! Someone who shares my enthusiasm about this crown-jewel! You sir described perfectly what this wonderfull thing makes me feel. While the snow was falling outside, for these couple of minutes you managed to make me realise why I am bunkers about my Z H2. Damn I'm looking forward for the spring to arrive.
From the Kawi aeronautical engineering team who helped with the super chargers development; that sound comes from the tips of the fan blades breaking the speed of sound.
Well fella, congratulations on the best bike review I have ever watched, forget the specs and numbers, you just illustrated perfectly what that bike’s like to ride and why riding itself is so awesome! Squealing like a child... love it!!!
Yammie my man! I heard you laugh and enjoy but here I heard your guts and butt clench on the acceleration and that laugh of pure deep joy with a dash of adrenaline! Made me smile to the ears
What the video doesn't really get accross is how amazing these sound, even with a stock pipe. Had one blow past me when I was driving my bus and you hear the supercharger just as much as you do the exhaust. It's amazing.
I own a 2024 Kawasaki ZH2 and what Yammie Noob said about the bike in every detail is absolutely spot on! The looks are of course subjective but I think it looks the part!
My first bike was Z650 last year i changed to Z900 and next week Im going to swap to ZH2 I am sow excited.I can see how you enjoying with this bike.Thanks for your video.
I sat on an ZH2 SE today and I couldn't believe how much better it looks in person. The green paint has a sparkle to it that doesn't come through on camera and the components really stand out and seem high quality. If I had the money today I'd be driving it right now
Just sitting on one at the dealership up the street got my heart going. Seeing it in person really does the bike justice. Drop dead gorgeous. Picked up a less heart attack inducing and wallet cratering Z900 instead.
@@rammsteinn1984 It is indeed. Been riding parallel and vtwins for a few decades. They let me take it for a spin before purchase and it was instant love. All the twisties and switchback roads feel so much more satisfying now.
I ride a 765rs and one of my riding buddies owns what we call "the aeroplane" : a zx14r. You'd be surprised at how well behaved that bike is, especially on tour AND in the mountains. And I was SHOCKED at how light it felt considering what it actually did weigh. A speed triple, Eg, feels heavier moving it around. Kawasaki pulls some serious magic tricks with heavy bikes and making them super tractable. It's very impressive. And that throttle response, dear god! Its like 20 minimoogs hitting c1 all at one go, but with just the right amount of detune and oscillator spread. BUT not herky jerky. Clearly, everyone got distracted by how ugly this bike looked in photos, and how heavy it looks on paper. Crazy. Enjoy haha
Out of ALL the Z H2 reviews... I couldn’t wait for you to review it. I picked one of these up last summer, and I’m sold out of the market. I can’t see myself getting rid of or selling my Z H2. I share your enthusiasm for this bike. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Daily video! Hell yeah! Who needs TV? Production quality of this channel keeps getting better! This is the new Top Gear.. but better cuz is with bikes.
I love to hear you discover what I did awhile ago. Kawi really gets it right when they go for different and man when the do it is perfection. Fun fun video!!
Papa Yam at the beginning 4:42: "I saw pictures of this and I thought it was ugly. But in person it really has a commanding and aggressive presence." Papa Yam at 16:34." There is no escaping that this is an ugly bike"
You truly give an awesome explanation of what the bike is like. Not only this one but all bikes you get. I truly enjoy your content man. Top notch stuff.
I've watched this video like 10 times and I am obsessed with this bike. Even printed a fucking poster of the bike and hung it on my wall. I'm getting a new bike next year, and I can't get over this stupidly impractical bike. God I love it
Between this and the video with the Ural, I love seeing the pure childlike joy you and Spite have shown. Even experiencing this secondhand from my couch had me grinning like an idiot. brb, gotta go swing a leg over my bike and get some saddle time, thanks for the inspiration Yams
Dude I really enjoy your channel, for me its the most fun to watch out of any. Great video and good to see the Z H2 up there and getting the feedback it deserves. Your videos actually convinced me to get one and it was the best decision ever. It certainly isn't the the most competitive neither does it have the best brakes or suspension but man does it make you feel good and put a massive smile on your face. I'll be doing the full review on the Z H2 2021 in the coming weeks, then have some mods to add such as the Scorpion can and Sprint filter (doing videos for those too). Will be an excellent comparison to the nakeds I have already done videos for.
Kawasaki is the coolest of all the Japanese companies! Reliable power and mental bikes.. I've been driving em for years road and of road! My second generation Z750 was a good motorcycle although heavy it never let me down.. now I'm a triumph speed triple owner but damn I would love have a ZH2 or a ninja H2.... Many Kawes passed through my hands, never a disappointment!
Very cool to see so much love for the Z-H2 ! I saw many people ignored this Bike because of the design but that's a huge mistake imo ! My testride with the Z-H2 was fantastic, it's a great Bike !
Someone got one of this here on the island I live in, he slapped one of those Akra shorties, man! it sounds like a behemoth. stock exhaust: "woooooo aaahhhhh" after opening it up: **Angry Godzilla**
I absolutely love pretty much all Kawasaki motorcycles, they make excellent and in my opinion beautiful machines. The supercharger sounds awesome on the ZH2
I honestly wish Kawasaki would run with this supercharger technology. It is something that no other bike manufacturer is doing and if they trickle this down into like a parallel twin Z650, this would be a homerun in my opinion.
I have a serious question. 11:20 rain mode?? If I put this bike or even a Z900 in rain mode would it then be a suitable beginner bike? I Kno that's a lower power mode... 🧐🤔
Boosted motorcycle means slight threshold and lag before you build pressure (not *nearly* as much as turbos) so snatchiness in fuelling gets kind-of masked. At the end of the day, all that matters is how it rides. Rider shouldn't have to worry about how every single mechanism in the bike is working.
I know just how you feel about getting into it just to hear the boost. My car is turbocharged, and from the factory had a stupid loud atmospheric BOV. I’ll roll through town in third gear and lay into it just to let off and hear the nice “pshhhhhh” lmao
The perfect 1 and only bike.... .ore the majority of people who only own 1 bike that they want to do a bit of everything with you really cant beat a naked bike. I absolutely love my CB1000R there is literally nothing that the bike is not happy to do and do it well. I can ride with my sport bike friends and have absolutely no problem keeping up and I can ride with my cruiser buddies the next day and just cruise around comfortably, I can ride it to work every day and I'm perfectly comfortable on it in both stop and go and highway sleeds. These naked bikes are just the sweet spot of motorcycle riding. Only thing better than having 1 naked bike would be to have multiple different kinds of bikes for different situations. But who can afford that so thankfully we can have 1 naked and be done.
😂😂😂😂😂 I just road a street bike for the first time 4 days ago... and it was a 2021 ZH2.😂😂😂 But honestly, I told me buddy, the owner, how easy I thought it was. True... I know that I didn't come close to getting crazy with it, but I road it all day for the last four days, and I've been on I-95 with it, got up over 100, and I've loved every single second of it. The only problem is, I'm spoiled now, because I find it hard to believe I'll find a bike better than that, and unfortunate I can't afford one. But yeah, learning how to ride on a ZH2
Very intrigued by this bike. I love the sounds it makes. Looks like a great package. The looks take some getting used to. Need to see one in person. Can I have one with the styling of the Z900RS? They do that and I’ll head right to the dealer.
Would love to see a low displacement 400 supercharged high HP bike, around 80-100 as that's a nice ho for the roads and you can still enjoy the high revs, supercharged noises without the loss of a licence or life!
You're not exaggerating. I owned at least 10 different bikes, and this is the first bike which is so addictive, I'm looking for excuses all day long to get to ride it...

Believe me it is insane,I own one for a year now. Its a missile.
The supercharger tips actually break the speed of sound and that's the "chirp". Thanks F9 for that. Love both your videos
Can't wait for a drag between the Yammie Haya-boost-ah and ZH2
It's totally standard that they make a what we love and what we hate video separately about each bike. I'm ready to see spites living with video, but I'm sure they don't want to leave it in his parking garage.

The only ugly thing about this bike is the way it blows your nuts back into your face..
I love the look of it. Each to their own.

Okay NF
I love the sounds of the supercharger when off the throttle. It’s like an angry bird.
What the video doesn't really get accross is how amazing these sound, even with a stock pipe.
Had one blow past me when I was driving my bus and you hear the supercharger just as much as you do the exhaust. It's amazing.

So much Kyle energy. It just need some monster energy stickers and an new exhaust. Then he will achieve 110% kyle'nes
This is why i like my 650r tho, can just pin it all the time, plenty of power and very nimble as well. But dammmmmnn would this bike be a dream 😍
Sounds like an airplane taking off,every time you get on the throttle
Appropriate then that this is the feature bike in the new Top Gun movie! "I feel the need.......... the NEEEEEED... FOR SPEEEEED!"
Yammie: it's a heavy bike, but you need that with all this torque
HD fanbois: finally he understands us!
Yammie: *no... I really don't*

This is the future "Yammie has hit another car" machine. Careful Yam.
I’m plenty capable of ridin this scoot around town lol
Be careful with my bike. Ill be down in a few months to get it.
There's nothing like a supercharged motor. It's nice how compact it is too vs a turbo and all that goes along with that.
What I’m hearing is that it’s the perfect beginner bike.
Put it in low power mode with krtc on full and it will act like a 250. Gave my wife the keys to my h2 sx that makes 220whp and she had no issues.
I would put a steering damper because it will give more speed wobble
“Expert rider bike”. My first bike was a FTR 1200 RR. A year and half later I’m straddling a ZH2.
