- The 2023 Kawasaki ZH2 has always been a Bike I've wanted to Ride. And I finally get my chance to Ride the ZH2 , I didn't know if this Kawasaki ZH2 was flashed. But it turned out that this Kawasaki ZH2 was flashed and had a slip on Exhaust, Today I take you along with me as I Motovlog and explore how fast this 2023 Kawasaki ZH2 Really is. I'm blown away with the pure, raw Hp this Kawasaki ZH2 makes.

I went from a 2012 Ninja 1000 SX to my 2021 Z H2. Full brocks penta carbon exhaust, Sprint filter, with a Moore Mafia flash and it will pull the front up at 140+ quick shifting from 4th to 5th....it's a freaking monster!
Man it was one of the most fun bikes I've EVER rode!! Hey thanks for watching and commenting my friend 🙏🏻, you be careful on that bike of yours - talk to you soon I hope!!
I love my 2021 SE, but I really want M1000r. But I don’t want to give up my ZH2 lol😊
@@steelfoe I'm considering selling it to move over to a Ducati Diavel V4. Way way slower but man I'd look cool going slow. :-)
@steelfoe I don't blame you- Keep what you got unless you got a bunch of money burning a hole in your pocket. Your bike is Awesome!!
@@RayBowdenRidesWould it be your First Ever Motorcycle??? If you started riding @ 50++++'s ??
" We all want something we don't need " .... Ain't that the truth 😆. I absolutely don't NEED something like this, But I definitely wouldn't mind having it either, would never need / want another bike ever again .... Well, maybe another Enduro / Dual Sport, I miss the dirt, that's where it all began for me.
That's where it began for me to @IrnMaiden304.
Love the personality you bring to this video, dont ever lose it.
Thank you !!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻, Thanks for being apart of the Channel!!
Love the sound of that super charger sheeesshh, also saving up for 2 cameras so i can start sharing my zx4rr thank you for the tips !!! 🙌🏽🤙🏽😁
Good for you ! Let me know if you need help.
@@RayBowdenRides thank you !
@grimloxx your welcome- get going soon Grim!
I just discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying the videos I've checked out so far - especially this one. Great review! I have a Kawasaki Z900 and am having lots of fun with that. I can only imagine how much fun that supercharged motor is!
Oh it was a blast !! Hey Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Please Stay in Touch!!
Nice review! I have exactly this and absolutely love it. For a bike that is accused of being ugly, I get a lot of compliments but I love the ride and feel :)
I bet you do! Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻. Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend!!
Such a wild bike! Every few months I go looking at these on cycletrader because I need to experience that motor at some point in my life. God bless Kawasaki for giving us multiple bikes with a supercharged 1000cc engine! Another great review Ray 👍
They are unbelievable flashed!! Yes you need to get one Walrus - Thanks for the Kind words my friend!!! ttyl my good friend!
Loved the video! Just picked up my beast 2 days ago 😜🤘🏼
Congratulations my friend you are going to love that bike!! Your a lucky girl! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻. Please Stay in Touch.
VERY nice bike!! Miss ya, dude!
Miss you too!
I like it! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR get vid Ray.. very cool colors
Thanks!
I have a ‘22 ZH2 as well as a ‘23 M1000R competition. They are both flashed and fast! I think it would be a close race between the two, but would probably give the slight edge to the ZH2.
I'm blown Away with this Kawasaki ZH2, it's a bad cat daddy!! Hey thanks for watching 🙏 Dan- Ride Safe and don't be a Stranger!!
You have certainly gave me something to think about
Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.
Great review BTW! A little request: I don't know if you can get a hold of one (and it's a whole different ball of wax, of course) but I would really love to see you do review of one of them new electric Harleys!
Ok , I'll call around to the harley shops and see if they will let me ride one. My friend thanks for watching 🙏,And Ride Safe!!!!
My very first bike was an older Z1000 and I loved it. I recently bought a new HD LRS, ripped majority of it apart and rebuilt it with custom parts. It’s crazy the amount of tech and parts you get on a stock H2 compared to the Harley. Especially when you factor in the price lol.
Yes it is , did you just bye one of these?
Bought my 2023 Zh2 SE from this location. Loving every minute of this beast and will hold this for decades.
I bet you are, that's one bad mamah jamah!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻, Thanks for being apart of the Channel!!
@@RayBowdenRides Glad to be here. Fresh off of shoulder surgery (5 weeks) but looking to get back out there soon and if you have any rides in the future. Please don't hesitate to share as my wife also rides and we would love to get out again.
@66Cobra66R66 there is this one this Saturday a buddy is doing facebook.com/share/4JaZjVNcvb8n7H5Y/?mibextid=9VsGKo
Tonit champion 🔥🔥
Hey Thanks for Watching my friend 🙏, Best App in the Business! RIDE SAFE MY FRIEND!! DON'T be a Stranger!!!
Oh, man. I love eating off the chain.
YOUR FUNNY! THANKS FOR COMMENTING MY FRIEND.
Nice video
Thanks for Watching and Commenting MKS!
6:03 you’re only the second person in my entire life I’ve ever heard pronounce “naked bikes” as “nekked” and I find it just as hilarious as the first time I heard it. You might be the same guy who knows. 😂
🤣your too funny!
Surprised the dealer would let someone ride it with no mirrors. That would drive me nuts, i have to know EVERYTHING going on around me. I would love to ride that thing around for a day, but that's it. I've had a perfect driving record for almost 20 years, that thing would end that streak quickly. Enjoyed the video brother, ride safe!
I would have to put some small bar end mirrors myself- Thanks for Watching 🙏- be careful my friend!
My ZH2 is dyno tuned and flashed by N.Tx.Superbikes. 245hp at REAR WHEEL w a safe tune❤❤❤
I bet your bike is a beast!! Hey thanks for watching my friend 🙏🏻 .Ride Safe and don't be a stranger Will.
@RayBowdenRides u2 brother, I'm in ft W, so let me know where can get w the group 👍
Hey nice video. Quick question, zh2 or S1000rr pro? im confused between these two, looking to get one soon. Would like to know more since there aint bikes here for testdrives for those . Is the zh2 too heavy while riding tho ..?
It is heavier, it's really up to you , go sit on both and see which one feels the best. Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.
Very nice John England
Thanks for Watching John🙏, See you soon!
Had that Leo pipe 1st as well...when tuned had the full Brocks put on...about 2x as loud. WICKED❤❤❤
Dang I bet it sounds AWESOME!! YOU got yourself a fun bike! You be careful my friend!! Please be careful 🙏🏻
@@RayBowdenRides YES Sir, will do. 55 yrs old and wanna keep going haha👍
@willraven7 me to I'm 55 .
@willraven7 me to I'm 55 .
I almost pulled the trigger on buying one a couple weeks ago, but decided not to after I’ve got three different insurance quotes $$$$ Washington state doesn’t have very many options for good motorcycle insurance.
Call progressive insurance! Don't give up yet. Thanks for being apart of the Channel and Commenting 🙏🏻.
it has a great design!
Yes it does! Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻 and being apart of the Channel.
Holy shit what a beast!
I have a 2012 z1000, this definitely has to be my next bike..
Btw what were they asking for this bike?
I can't remember 17k I believe
In stock form...it still does hang first thru 4 if you short shift it just right and wot....the wheelie control just limits the wheelie...it doesn't stop it by any means
For sure!! It's a Beast- Hey thanks for watching and commenting my friend 🙏🏻, Ride safe and don't be a stranger!!
I've got a '20 pre ESA. It's flashed and it screams. The cruise control only works to 85 MPH. Even after the flash.
I bet it does , good to know about the cruise. Hey Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻 . Ride Safe! Stay in touch!
I love this bike. Doubt i'd ever get one because the price is higher than i want to spend on a toy.
I do enjoy hearing how "she's heavy". That's an interesting thing to hear for someone who's ridden cruisers on almost every road he can. I've had some awesome twisty roads on a 800 lb Yamaha raider. Extremely fun. And honestly, I never felt like a bike was fighting me in the corners. Of course, I wasn't trying to lean over and drag a knee. But 500 lb in a naked bike sounds like a walk in the park weight wise. I rode a Yamaha MT07 for a while and a Suzuki GSXR 750. Those bikes felt like they were going to float away they were so light.
Your funny! It's just a little heavier than some of the bikes in its class. But it more than makes up for it with that super charger. This bike is totally wicked! It's a Bad Cat Daddy!!
6/17/24 Hey Ray , lov your vids . I just bought the 2024 ZH2 Se version . It’s still at the dealer being prepped. I’m coming from a Busa but I gonna have my hands full I’m sure. Anyhow do you know the name of that slip on ? Funds are to low right now for full exhaust , and that slip on will tie me over ( so long as it fits my 2024 ) . I couldn’t make out the brand or model name. Only that it was a slipon. Thanks . . . eagerly await your answer. Thanks for the time you put into making vids.
Leo Vince, was what was on the video bike an it sounded great. Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻. Please Stay in Touch- your going to be so pleased with that bike.
@@RayBowdenRides thank you. Will do. By the way do you know where the Ecu is located on the 2024 ? Or any videos on how to remove it? I’m sure a flash is in my future .
@@gertrudedaraklis1170 it's at the front behind the headlight. You need to strip the front bodywork off to get to it.
@jameshind6644 thanks for the knowledge and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻
Thats some violent acceleration!! But i want to know how it handles in the twisty canyons..
Can't tell ya that- sorry. Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻
Should try the se model. The electronic showa suspension is absolutely unbelievable over the stock suspension! You really notice the difference when your cornering hard
I bet, Hey thanks for watching my friend 🙏, Ride safe and don't be a stranger
I saw something about the actual H2 not the ZH2 being sold for 2024. I thought that bike wasn’t even made anymore and they made a small number and stopped producing them. Do you know the situation? They started making them again or they always have ?
@MarissaTheMuse yes they are Making them, let me know if you need one! You have to order it.
@@RayBowdenRides didn’t they stop making them for years though ?
@@MarissaTheMuse I believe the original h2 which wasn’t super charged was made from 1972-1975 and then it disappeared until 2015 when they brought back the h2 name to the now flagship h2 bikes which you can buy today! There is only a limited number made each year and you’d have to place ur order now for a 2024 model!
I knew it. Not at my age and health. I’ll screw something up. Sure wish there were people out there that would put my bike on or in a truck and drive it to one of these U-Tube Dyno/flash guys.
Oh boy you must have a big hp bike huh! Thks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻.
Those roads... :O
Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻, you think there bad huh?
@@RayBowdenRides Naaaw... Seems pretty bad. But like your video!
@bleppebleppsson1169 thanks 🙏🏻, Stay in Touch!
How do you get that GPS speed overlay on your videos?
The GPS Remote I have on my wrist. It embeds it in the video, then when you download the footage on your computer and select GPS it's there. You can then drag where at on the screen you want the different metrics. Speedometer, route , Distance and such. If you have any other questions let me know!
What is on your wrist by the way?
And what mic do you have?
Movo mic, and GPS Remotes for the cameras,
@@RayBowdenRides Awesome, thanks for your replies, nice channel👍
@Motorcycle_Man your very Welcome, don't hesitate if you have anymore!
@RayBowdenRides thanks man, yes one more question: Is your movo mic wired or wireless?
@Motorcycle_Man it's wired.
It cuts the fuel , not the ignition, The rideology app is problematic, and it will pull the wheel in the first 3 gears, wheelie control is on 1 in sport, it limits the height but doesnt keep it down. A flashed bike only shows above 9500 . Mine stock pulled the wheel in 3rd. The bike is tuned 1500 rpm lower in torque than the h2.
Good to know! Hey thanks for watching 🙏🏻, Ride safe my friend!! Don't be a Stranger!
Hey ray! I found a 2020 zh2 with 7k miles on it for 14k. Is this a good deal or should i look for a new one?
Man I hate to tell you either way , it sounds like a good deal , make sure you take it to a dealer and have it checked out, also make sure no accidents- chk the service history as well! A new one, I think is 20k ,It sounds like it but if something happens, it get Real Expensive QUICK!!!!
I would buy a new one. A new one cost 17k. A SE version is 20k
@Adam-om9hu thanks for watching and Commenting 🙏🏻
Wow I had to look twice. My name is Ray Borden lol
That's cool Man - Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻, Ray I hope we talk again!
Honda CBR rrr sp 2023 quad exhaust straight pipe
I've seen renderings , I've owned a couple Hondas and loved them, hey thanks for watching 🙏 my friend, Ride safe and don't be a stranger!!
Only thing it’s missing is windshield wipers
That's funny- Hey thanks for watching my friend 🙏🏻. Ride Safe and don't be a stranger.
Zh2 more raw and grunty(wheelie happy) then the smother M1000r
Yep that ZH2 wanted to wheelie that's for sure!!!
The ultimate Japanese naked bike by a long shot, iam getting really nervous just watching you ride man. The ZH2 is for experts riders only and even they would have a horrible day if you lose the concentration for on second. This bike is fun, has way too much power and is death personified on two wheels. This monster would 100% kill you or really f#ck%d any intermediate and below rider. I for sure are not way near worthy of it and ive been riding for 20 years.
It is Way AWESOME for sure! Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻.
@@RayBowdenRides You're very welcome Sr, gotta love all that naked goodness lol. Alright be careful on the streets brother.
@pedrojavierish You Too!!
@WillHarris-be6rc Roger that!
@WillHarris-be6rc True, even getting out of bed if you slip and hit your head can kill you but people don't buy the ZH2 or the R1 to simply cruise at 30mph, for that you have Scooters and the 100 and 150cc bikes.
Good beginner bike? 😀
No- Your funny, Thanks for watching my friend 🙏🏻, Ride safe!!
This or a Tuono v4?
Dang I don't know , probably the Kawasaki,scratch that- Tuono. Hey thanks for watching my friend 🙏!! Ride Safe and don't be a stranger!!!
yeah, we know it's used because no rear mirrors and squid tshirt
It's a personal choice, but yea your right I should be wearing gear- thanks for Watching and Commenting though!🙏🏻
@@RayBowdenRidesyes of course is personal choice but it's just a bad example of a bad mindset how nothing will happen. I had the same one and took me a year to be able to walk again. For people who are watching this video - ATGATT all the gear all the time.
My insurance on the 2018 z1000 was £230 and when I purchased the 2023 ZH2 it went to £850
Dang ,hey thanks for watching my friend 🙏🏻, Ride safe and don't be a stranger.
Per year or per month?
Not sure , hopefully not a month.
You are riding this thing, like an old lady on a defective bicycle, only from 8000 Rpm on you really feel what's about; may the bike Gods keep you safe. Btw. I understand it's a dealer bike.
Hey thanks for watching my friend 🙏🏻, yes it's not mine. Hey Ride Safe and don't be a stranger!!!

Never heard that one? Hey my friend thanks for Watching 🙏🏻, Ride safe and don't be a stranger..

@MarissaTheMuse you said Nissan Bikes but you meant brakes - no problem I got ya now, thanks for commenting and watching 🙏🏻.
Do u have a problem with ur neck ?????
No why??
@@RayBowdenRideshe’s trying to make a joke about you keep looking back because you don’t have mirrors 👍🏻
Oh OK, I just like looking to make sure nothing is fixing to take me out🤪, Thanks for commenting- I know I got some screws loose - I love everybody though! Thanks my friend 🙏🏻
@@RayBowdenRides its okay bro nevermind... but because u do like that a lot🤣
Your vids make me laugh.... ur reviews say I can feel the power etc yet ride it like ya mamma on the back...lol
I make my wife laugh too, Hey my friend thanks for Watching 🙏, Ride safe and don't be a stranger!!
@@RayBowdenRides will do dude...
Its kinda a suicide to have a bike like that, no rear view mirrors...I understand the stock ones are uggly, you can get the Puig ones wich improves the visibility and the looks also..Here in Europe the laws take care of u more than you think. Another thing over there in the US, a kid can buy and ride legally a bike that powerfull, thats another dumb law in my opinion. A good review btw! :)
Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Stay in Touch!
Some men never grow up and need to be taken care of there entire lives, how sad. In America we are a free people and like to take care of ourselves. May your chains rest lightly on your shoulders.
