I did some basic math last night. The H2 is 11.6% lighter while 9.6% more power than the Zx-14. It's easy for people to see supercharged and lose sight that it isn't the absolute craziest HP stock, it's the fact it's a liter bike putting down 10% more power than its 1.4L counterpart, while shaving over 10% overall weight.
@@anthonycyr9657 those are all fair things to say. But remember how crazy the performance potential of a 14 is with modification… Especially forced induction. They don’t call them big end bikes for nothing 🏍🤟🏻. Hopefully I’ll have my 14r project done pretty soon and upload.
They’re surprisingly unwilling to dip into corners. My cousin and I were testing his busa and my h2 and we both thought the busa was easier to get leaned over. Really surprised us.
I'm more if a car guy, but was terrified after being the passenger on a 750cc Ninja motorway run. After we concluded our business in town, the rider told me to expect much of the same on the way home. You have no idea how stupid I felt, queuing in a taxi rank, holding a motorcycle helmet.🤬
A 3" turbine going in excess of 130,000rpm the tips of the blades are traveling over 1000mph. Lots of little sonicbooms in that compressor and they managed to overcome the turbulence caused by them as well.
It's not a "fast" car by any means, but a video on the Volvo 240 would be sweet. Along with the amount of modifications you can do to it to make it insanely fast.
Back in the 90's I had a ZX-10, it was slightly modded and was insanely fast. I can definitely imagine how fast a Hayabusa or a H2, a V4 Panigale or any other modern sport bike must be. It is overwhelmingly impressive. I applaud all the engineers who have given us these wonderful engines.

Ive commented before and im making this just as starting the video 337 you have probably the best automotive content out there currently with this series
Great video. And yes, with all the models, it gets confusing. People see the h2, or sx and think its a h2r. I have a h2 sx/se and my wife has a zh2. Amazing bike. The linear power is unlike any other NA bike. When tuned, the power doesnt drop, its still climbing when you hit the rev limiter, even when you extend it. As where NA bikes the power starts to drop off near rev limit.
Yes seen several moto journo use words like electric when it comes to describing how the powerband feels instant and wide just pulls so hard no matter what gear/engine speed. I envy you sir I really can't wait to have my own zH2 someday 🤝
I used to own the original H2 Triple 1972. I customized it for show and go. Denco chrome expansion chambers, black chrome down bars, a small fairing, chrome plating everywhere. And, to top it off, a costom pearl blue paint job with faided white pearl pin stripes. Also, painted the engine black and an aftermarket clutch. It was "VERY" fast straight line, but not great in the turns. Got a lot of thumbs up. I realize that had I kept it stock it would have retained a higher value today given how rare they are. I also owned an LTD1000 1978. Was going to customize that too, but was stolen out of my driveway. Thanks for this interesting video. Nicely done.
Very fast is such a relative term now. My first "real bike" (scary fast) was a 72 H2 as well. Yes the H2 was fast (during the 70s) but it only felt "VERY" fast because the chassis wasn't built to handle the speed. It was also the first bike I tore down to the last nut n bolt (engine included). I ported the cylinders (from specs in a Cycle magazine), sent the heads to Denco to reshape the combustion chambers and I'm pretty sure I was the first person to run Denco Stinger Chambers on the street (with dirt bike silencers on the tips). It was my one and only daily driver for years (total BS people saying they were unreliable) and it ran 11.70s at 110mph (11s was extremely quick for ANY daily driver in the mid 70s). Next was Z-1 900, KZ-1000 and then three Z1Rs. 40+ years later, I still have the H2, one Z1R and a ZRX1200R (with a tiny turbo = 235 Hp, 156 FtLb)...
You have awesome narration, this is one of the better videos Ive seen documenting something. I subscribed! You should have a show on some major network
It is certainly a great video about a very interesting toppic. Adding boost to a motorcycle is really easier said than done, mostly because of drivability, but also because of cooling and packaging. In a car drivability is not as important as in a motorcycle, because a car has 4 wheels. If you want to add boost to a motorcycle, you have to do everything in your power keep the powercurve relativly straight and turbo lag practicly non-existent. Otherwise you can easily loose tracktion on a powerful bike, which could easily result in a crash. That is also the reason why I would personally disagree with the choice of a centrifugal supercharger and instead go for a positive displacement supercharger. Those are less efficient and create more heat, but the powercurve of the engine would practicly be identicle to a naturally aspirated engine except for the fact that the powercurve would be shifted up. However, positive displacement supercharger have their own problems, mainly that they are physicly bigger which is a huge concern in a bike where packaging is a big problem anyways, and that they, as previously mentioned, create more heat. Motorcycles have a very limited frontal area and packaging is already a problem, so it is really hard to add an intercooler. The only real option I see here would be water injection, to cool the intake air. That would add around 6 or 7 kg of weight with the water, but packaging would be rather easy. Sorry for the long comment.
Best video on these bikes ever ! Bravo 👏. Great info, you speak well get the right facts and pictures and research wow. Left me wanting more at the end.

The story of the H2 is the story of a company knowing exactly what its most hardcore fan base wants, and delivering above and beyond. If you ask an old timer what it was like to ride an (original) H2, a common answer is along the lines of “Son, you gotta lay down across the tank, pull the throttle and try to keep the wheelie down” 😂
I respect what they’ve done they’ve opened the door for better and faster technology in terms for sport bikes I soon expect within 5 years a production sport bike to even exceed the h2r

In 1992 I bought a cx500 turbo from a friend to help him out of a bind. It was like 600 pounds wet and had unremarkable handling. When you twisted the throttle it choked and farted-- sluggish acceleration until it hit 4500 rpm. Then it was... gone. I never got comfortable with that Jekyll/Hyde dichotomy and I had the sneaky suspicion that it was waiting to make me pay dearly for any mistake. My dad (a Harley dresser type) drove it and said "That thing is fun, but it's not right." And I think that describes that bike perfectly
@@erikwithak6555 what do you ride Eric (I'm assuming you ride because of your pic) I got an 06 cbr600rr and just picked up a 03 cbr954rr...... p.s. I wish I had an A K I'm a little jealous lol
@@kevinterrell9849 Can't imagine how fast that 954 must be. I used to have a 2014 Ninja 300 fully stunt prepped, but I'm currently trying to find a new bike. I tried out an R6 and decided that thing would absolutely kill me. I'm thinking of picking up a 500 or supermoto next week.
Fun vid and THANK YOU for the shoutout for the long forgotten ORIGINAL ZX-10. I had an ‘89 ZX-10 over in Germany. Boy I had fun on that bike. Brought it over here to the States. I’d do 160mph (on a closed course) on the backside of the flight line hoping that tower control would say WTF? Bad bike. Dave of Dave’s Suzuki rode it once for me, came back and proclaimed he had no idea how I rode that bike that fast (in the mountain curves). Good times for sure.
I followed Kawasaki in the 70s, 80s and 90s and what an exciting time for motorcycle development! They always found a way to up the ante and whoop Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki in the horsepower wars. I do have to say Yamaha was more technically innovative with the Genesis FZ/FZR, and YZF designed bikes, but Kawasaki was like the bad boy on the block ready to give you a nice shiner at the end of the day. I have a H2 at the shop ... well a 1974 Denco H2B that is.
I would love to ride an h2r but I don't know if I'd want to own one. I just LOVE the cross plane engine in my 18 r1m. I'm planning to add some boost to it.
Love that you have Moore Mafia in the video. That guys is fun to watch. I personally have a 2021 Z H2 with a tune that puts out between 230-240hp at the wheel and it is bonkers.
@@jpbsv I've been looking at the intercooler, but I haven't really found a justification for it. I can get some pretty high air temperatures, but the intercooler would only help for back-to-back pulls. As long as I give it a couple minutes between runs it's not really an issue. And yes it does outrun almost anything. I haven't outran him yet, but with the front wheel always in the air I am still sitting next to him going. I need to extend that swing arm just a little bit to keep the front end down. It just wants to point at the sky every time I hit the throttle.
@custommotor I'm not a dyno king. I ride my bike on the street. Prolonged, high horsepower crazy runs. That's where the intercooler shines. I np longer have power loss like before. Even with +1 front and -2 in the rear it now does 4th gear power wheelies (no clutch). Even after ringing it for hours. The intercooler ALWAYS gives you more power as well as lower intake temps that translate into RELIABILITY. at any rate, whatever you decide on, keep the shiny side up, ride safe.
Still slower than a harley😂
A Ninja 400 is faster than a Harley. Lol
@Josh my Harley tops out 120mph😆 The old yamaha 850 might be as fast but I don't want to push something that old too hard

Would you make a video about the Barra? Or even the ford vs Holden rivalry in Australia?
The editing is dope
In 1992 I bought a cx500 turbo from a friend to help him out of a bind. It was like 600 pounds wet and had unremarkable handling. When you twisted the throttle it choked and farted-- sluggish acceleration until it hit 4500 rpm. Then it was... gone. I never got comfortable with that Jekyll/Hyde dichotomy and I had the sneaky suspicion that it was waiting to make me pay dearly for any mistake. My dad (a Harley dresser type) drove it and said "That thing is fun, but it's not right." And I think that describes that bike perfectly
Dude... I just found your channel and could watch it for HOURS
Great video. Well done !
Bro your content is awesome
Such a engineering masterpiece
These animations are awesome bro
This is by far the best video on the h2 on youtube i've ever seen! Well done sir👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Fortnite and Bart also have some great videos on the H2
@@erikwithak6555 hell ya I'm going to have to check those out thanks bro
@@erikwithak6555 what do you ride Eric (I'm assuming you ride because of your pic) I got an 06 cbr600rr and just picked up a 03 cbr954rr...... p.s. I wish I had an A K I'm a little jealous lol
Wow, thanks!
@@kevinterrell9849 Can't imagine how fast that 954 must be. I used to have a 2014 Ninja 300 fully stunt prepped, but I'm currently trying to find a new bike. I tried out an R6 and decided that thing would absolutely kill me. I'm thinking of picking up a 500 or supermoto next week.
That super charger flutter is about the coolest sound anything with two wheels can make.
Hey what did you do before this because you’re so good at this it’s almost like this isn’t your first foray into this. Keep up the good work anyway
Fun vid and THANK YOU for the shoutout for the long forgotten ORIGINAL ZX-10. I had an ‘89 ZX-10 over in Germany. Boy I had fun on that bike. Brought it over here to the States. I’d do 160mph (on a closed course) on the backside of the flight line hoping that tower control would say WTF? Bad bike. Dave of Dave’s Suzuki rode it once for me, came back and proclaimed he had no idea how I rode that bike that fast (in the mountain curves). Good times for sure.
I followed Kawasaki in the 70s, 80s and 90s and what an exciting time for motorcycle development! They always found a way to up the ante and whoop Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki in the horsepower wars. I do have to say Yamaha was more technically innovative with the Genesis FZ/FZR, and YZF designed bikes, but Kawasaki was like the bad boy on the block ready to give you a nice shiner at the end of the day. I have a H2 at the shop ... well a 1974 Denco H2B that is.
Fantastic video. Keep it up
I love it! Great music for the bike.
The sound of that bike taking off at 9:15. Insane!
It's just a normal h2 not h2r
great background music and leveling
I would love to ride an h2r but I don't know if I'd want to own one.
I just LOVE the cross plane engine in my 18 r1m. I'm planning to add some boost to it.
There was a racing team that built one of these in early 90s but it destroyed itself as they hadn't figured out how to control the acceleration
Love that you have Moore Mafia in the video. That guys is fun to watch. I personally have a 2021 Z H2 with a tune that puts out between 230-240hp at the wheel and it is bonkers.
Same here... got the intercooler too.
I haven't dynod it but it out pulls EVERYTHING else.
@@jpbsv I've been looking at the intercooler, but I haven't really found a justification for it. I can get some pretty high air temperatures, but the intercooler would only help for back-to-back pulls. As long as I give it a couple minutes between runs it's not really an issue.
And yes it does outrun almost anything. I haven't outran him yet, but with the front wheel always in the air I am still sitting next to him going. I need to extend that swing arm just a little bit to keep the front end down. It just wants to point at the sky every time I hit the throttle.
@custommotor I'm not a dyno king. I ride my bike on the street. Prolonged, high horsepower crazy runs.
That's where the intercooler shines. I np longer have power loss like before. Even with +1 front and -2 in the rear it now does 4th gear power wheelies (no clutch).
Even after ringing it for hours.
The intercooler ALWAYS gives you more power as well as lower intake temps that translate into RELIABILITY.
at any rate, whatever you decide on, keep the shiny side up, ride safe.
