Idk. It's a little lethargic down low if your trying to overtake on the highway. I would recommend a turbocharged and dealer serviced HAYABUSA for a beginner. It might teach you bad habits but at least it won't get you killed.
I like what Dave Moss said about this bike "Motorcycles are just too darn slow these days. Kawasaki solved the problem during a lunch break last year by mounting a supercharger to an engine they had laying around the shop, then stuck it in a leftover trellis frame from the storage shed. They grabbed some Ninja 650 suspension bits out of the bin and, poof, the Z H2 naked liter bike super slayer. What a time to be alive! Flying saucers are next."
Got about 700 miles on my ZH2. It feels like driving a 2000cc high-end Waverunner/Jetski on land. When you look down at the fairings and handlebars, it makes you think you're on a jetski.... a jetski that can do 175mph, but still....
I promise I will hustle my way up to getting one of these some day! I don't ever see myself being able to afford a $55k H2 but the price range of these is definitely achievable in the future!
I think it would be cool if ynmoto had packages for each of your previous giveaway bikes, that include each of the upgrade parts that you swapped out on them.
After a year of owning this bike, it is in my opinion the best motorcycle I have ever owned. I love it soooo much. The only problem I have is I’ve never ran into a single other person that has one😂😂 (that actually might be a good thing)
I agree and that's makes it cool also. You have a bike that is fairly rare. I was shocked yesterday though when I went to leave the races at Road America and saw 30 feet away another zh2 just like mine. The owner wasn't there otherwise I would have talked to them. Got a picture though.
True enough. Between high asking prices for good bikes and yahoos cutting up the cheap ones for parts to sell on eBay, K5’s are getting harder to find.
What is the most you can lower the ZH2 ..i want to buy one but im only 5'6 ive had liter bikes before i lowered my GSXSf1000 1.5 inches that allowed me to get most of mu foot down
How is the bike at 75-85 mph. Does it get a lot of wind buffeting. Is there a decent bolt on windscreen that actually works for this bike. Thanks for the review.
Zero buffeting because there's no air curtain. Naked. Bike. You can put a shield on it sure, but get a huge one because once you make an air curtain it needs to be high enough to go over your head. In the upright position, that's quite high up.
I like these ergo spots. You guys should do that for every bike. Honestly though, I have a 31 inch inseam barefooted at 5'10" (freak with long torso), and I don't flat foot on the Ninja 1000sx. Is this bike that thin at the seat front so that Whitney can flat foot it? @ 4:33 (Thanks in advance if Whitney can answer.)
Some of the H2 models, mine a 2022 being one of them. Push oil up though the crank case vent tube into the intake runner upstream of the supercharger. Given my aggressive riding style after 400 miles I have oil dripping out of the intake runner onto the floor. Kawasaki will not acknowledge the problem so they have no fix for the problem. My ZH2 is at the Kawasaki dealer were they are clueless as to the source of the problem. Tearing into my engine blindly. My advise, the bike is a rocket and despite being over 500 lbs. you can still run it though the corners fast enough you will wear your tires from edge to edge. Hold off on purchasing an H2 until Kawasaki has a fix for the problem.
Although this is not related to the video, which 300cc category bike is better for long distance and daily commute to Uni? my dad prefers the BMW G310r due the branding, I personally prefer the R3 as it keeps screaming more power to me and is like $20 cheaper than the G310r.although the g310r has more safety features as a naked streetbike compared to the R3.....but,well I'm a bit of a squid rocket fan
or OR.... you could do what I did and get the touring version and have 250 horsepower and panniers..... lol LOVE my H2 SX SE . Awesome review as always!!
Hey buddy, I also am kplanning to buy this or the h2 as a first bike and enter head first into a trucks intercooler and mix my blood with the coolant liquid
@@crogamerhd3974 LOL. Why not? It's not uncontrollable. I've only been riding a DR650 thumper for 2 years and now a ZH2 also and I'm fine. Did ride dirtbikes for 2 years as a teen, but otherwise, it's not nearly as "terrifying" as everyone says... the power to scare you is there, if you decide to use it. Stopping? Sharp turns at the end of straight aways? That's what you REALLY gotta worry about learning.
Ok but vmax is factory down tuned from 230 hoarse and 132 foot pounds to 200/132 for $18000 sure it's not naked it's more cruiser but seriously you must try one!!
I keep searching the net for automotive engineering majors for my undergrad. What do you think might be the best major for getting into the motorcycle industry big time? Please let me know!!!
Harley’s need Stage 4 which should be from the factory. Most other bike manufacturers have plenty of power for their displacement. No need for major mods. Harley’s need more aluminum and carbon fiber as a lighter bike offers so much more than more power.
Hey Yammie, can you please try and get your hands on a Kawasaki ninja 1000 SX?! You’ve done the ninja 400 and the ninja 650. The next progression of the more upright and tame bike would be the ninja 1000SX. I’m looking at getting one but don’t know what to expect. I think your fan base would enjoy the video
Hmmm I just picked up my new ‘21 mt07, first street bike, haven’t ridden it yet (“but I was born on a dirt bike sidecar”). So we could just trade? You said the ZH2 was pretty tamed😜
Want this ZH2? Go to www.ynmoto.co !!
Love from india Himachal Pradesh shimla
I want to participate in giveaway but I poor so I can't 😭😭😭😭 you're always rocking
Just bought some shoes! Hope I win!!!

If you do make sure to never ever wear any gear, it’ll just lower your field of view and make you less mobile, flip flops and t shirt is prime

The SE definitely doesn't have ninja 650 suspension parts unless ninja 650s have electronic suspension
@@ChrisG1392 bad electronic suspension is still bad. The price difference is better spent on proper bouncy bits applied to the base Z H2.

What i love about bikes like this is that you'd have to spend close to seven figures on a car to match the performance...

Thanks for letting us ride vicariously through you and your Z H2. Great bike, great sound!
RE: Lean angle : Mine recorded 56 deg lean angle when the peg feeler touched..
Street legal tires are rated at 55 deg?
@@killerdeviant Probably. I was getting " all the tire " on Palomar Mtn.
Bridgestone RS 10 R tires.
It’s a known issue with the bike, pegs are too low.
@@yammienoob My being 69 years old, I'll take the low pegs and settle for the available lean angle. 🧙♂️
@@rudedog3529 Me too. I am nearly 60 and I don't want to be hunched and scrunched any more on a bike.
I'm a beginner then I saw low price. Gonna buy this as my first bike.

I hear that Kawasaki provides learner wheels, a ting ting handle bar bell and tassels for all newbies.

How reliable is a base model Z H2 keeping it all stock? For a 2023 model
It doesn’t come with a steering dampener does it need one?

Biggest power for lowest price is the good old gixxer.
Got that right. 👍 I’d like to see Yammie feature a K5 on the channel.
AMEN!!!!
@@nickq204 Yes nice bikes if you can find them. Problem is if you find one they want to much money for them. I don't want to pay 7k for one.
True enough. Between high asking prices for good bikes and yahoos cutting up the cheap ones for parts to sell on eBay, K5’s are getting harder to find.
Love the busa though
What is the most you can lower the ZH2 ..i want to buy one but im only 5'6 ive had liter bikes before i lowered my GSXSf1000 1.5 inches that allowed me to get most of mu foot down
My perfect super naked is the MT-10.
Wheelie monster, amazing on track, sounds like a symphony, not heavy, and CHEAP!!!
Ergo check on videos is the most underrated part of reviews
When you buy the MV Agusta they'll give you a free gun with it and 1 bullet. For when you drop it obviously, then you know what to do.
😂
Will be getting this as my next bike
how is the bike?
I really liked my 2021 , unfortunately my friend accidentally wrecked it. Totaled. Fortunately he is now ok after some surgery
Was my 2 wheel therapy
Need to work on your audio balance while editing. While they’re just talking, it was a bit quiet. Then at 1:42 when Yam is riding, it was SUPER LOUD.
How is the bike at 75-85 mph. Does it get a lot of wind buffeting. Is there a decent bolt on windscreen that actually works for this bike. Thanks for the review.

Ladies love a long torso, but you're only an inch _longer_ than average.
i'm pumped that my 2 favorite channels now have their own stake in the market finally.

I waited through 2 15 second unskippable ads to watch this..
I ain’t even mad.
Need a z900 on the Chanel next! 🙏
Such a sick bike... Can't wait to see who wins this monster
Hi thanks for the great Videos.
l am hoping the next bike is an MT 10/ MT 10 SP. Between the ZH2 and the MT 10, these are my dream bikes.
I go with spite, next bike should be "Superduke"🙂
or the should buy a regular h2
Super Duke is super trash
What piece of classical music is this? I really like it 5:30
Don’t worry mom, Clammy Pube told me a ZH2 is a perfect beginner bike
Price - power/fun ratio is way over any other bike
best beginner motorcycle.
Hey Yammie, the black trousers you are wearing in the video arent riding pants right? I really like the look
Why put a supercharger on a 1 litre bike? Why not put one on a 250?
This ZH2 looks like a Mutated ZX10-R
With all that exposed green frame
I enjoyed this video, nice job. Hint, you need some art on your white wall.
hello Sir yammiNoob! shout out here from the philippines!!
Yammie just loop it and you get to keep it 😂😂😂
"Its basically a z650 you never have to upgrade" - Yammie
My names kyle and I ride triumphs, am I doing it wrong?
This is how to do a review, multiple riders and input, track and road.👍
The little MT-10 Crying in the corner because it wasn’t mentioned in the video
i changed to tallerrear immediately. tips in much better now
Could you do a vid on the cbr650r?
Summary basically covered exactly why I bought it, speed without pretzel position while putting up 600+ mile days.
First time ever I've heard the term "overpowered" for a motorcycle.
Perfect for this old man
I got the zh2 se completely different bike
Hey what about the Aprilia tuono!!!
My local dealership has one of these but don't allow test rides until you put money down WTF SMH
Are we Gona see the video of you installing all the brocks parts?
For the longest time I thought his name was SPIKE. That made sense to me, like the character from the Little Rascals.
Dude a video about yamaha yzr 500 plzz
Im not really sure but is the zh2 the naked version of the h2?
Yes
Little upset there was no mention of the aprilia tuono V4 1100
Y' so torn between this and the H2 SE Tour (maybe both lol)
Fyi: laughter is a fear response... clammy pube is terrified every time he rides it...

Perhaps the handling problem has been corrected on the Z H2 SE?
Y'all need to get 1 of the new Buells!
What about the new Ducati Monster as a competitor?
Hi .YN may i know the size of the spools?is it 8 or 10mm?thnks
I would love to see the S1000r
Yammie said in his previous video, S1000RR is the most boring of all inline-4 bikes (the others are from Japanese Big-Four)
Wasn’t talking about the RR though
You should do a video about Hyosung
or OR.... you could do what I did and get the touring version and have 250 horsepower and panniers..... lol LOVE my H2 SX SE . Awesome review as always!!
Riding modes?... i got four switches and buttons on my bike....
I’m definitely going to make this my first bike no joke
Please don't

Was this uploaded in raw format?
Should i buy a ZH2 or a Ninja 400
As my first bike
Lol
Zh2
400 is for noobs and its boring. Dfntly zh2!
Zh2. I know plenty of girls who ride the 400... 😂
This bike, taken to its limits is for serious expert riders. If you short shift it and keep it below 6k rpms, anyone can ride it.
Next give away bike, ... hmmmm GSX-R1000R
Great video
Can you please try out a Suzuki B-King? Give your opinion on that bike. I think it's a very good bike, and half the cost of a zh2
i would love a B-King
I've been riding CBR 125 for the last 4years and i wonna jump into zx6r. Is this fine? Someone help me out on this pls.

Fuhkin turbo Haya BUSA BABY 👶🏽 , 1mil soon
Would you go w this or h2se? Im thinking of adding one to the stable. Im in austin so maybe I should get a boat.
From what I have seen and heard the SE model is more composed and handles better on the street. Also the brakes are better with the stylema calipers.
Which bike would be better for a 6.2 tall and 265 pounds heavy rider the z900 or the new mt 09?
