Being as probably most of you know a z1000 fanboy i was really hoping to be blown away and expect everything to be amazing. The release obviously today has revealed a slightly bloated oversized zed with a "kind of" ok 16k price bracket....im hoping that when i get to the NEC show and see one for real then it should make it all better.... What i dont like.... The size The Price (kind of) The Weight The front light What i do like One sided air intake Supercharger Power output Optimist outlook Loose the entire exhaust system, get it remapped, loose other oem shit (bars (replace with Renthals, tail tidy, mirrors) just for starters....i do accept that it probably has to be bigger to allow for a full suite of electronics and the supercharger etc etc...
It looks hideous unfortunately, it's such an own goal. The bike should and could have looked awesome, with that engine and supercharger configuration it'd have been a real opportunity to bring something alternative to the table. Unfortunately it looks fat faced and frumpy, almost part sport tourer and part.....God knows. I'm still going to try one though just for shits and giggles
As i say....id like to see a modded one to see what it looks like once all the shit has been removed....i bet that exhaust is good for 12 - 15 kilos,...
Very unfortunately not. https://www.visordown.com/news/new-bikes/kawasaki-z-h2-all-pictures-spec-and-details-new-supernaked You can tell how bad it is head on as visor down ignore those shots, plenty more online somewhere
16 k for that wants to be a joke. would rather build a naked based on a few year old Gsxr, anything really. What an ugly bike. Prices have gone mad.
Bet the engine is awesome though, kinda makes it even worse that someone in Kawasaki signed off the design, heads should roll.
I dont get it at all, obviously. But no matter how great the engine is, it doesnt matter. Tuono factory S1 Monster 1200 all waayyyy before that ugly Heavy industries monster.
