After the huge success of the H2 project, Kawasaki engineers set upon utilising the supercharged platform in other branches of Kawasaki motorcycles. First they have adopted it to a H2 SX to make one of the best sports touring bikes ever. The next logical step was to make a large capacity streetfighter, a segment where Kawasaki was seemingly absent for some time. Kawasaki Z H2 is just that, intended to shake up the norms and set new standards in an increasingly competitive market.
The world-beating litre engine is boosted beyond belief with supercharger technology from the unrivalled H2. The timeless Sugomi style exudes Kawasaki DNA, elegant colour details, full TFT screen and a chrome air intake combine tradition of the Z with the technology of the H2. Supercharge your life. The Z brand has a rich history that stretches back almost 50 years. Now with the arrival of the Supernaked Z H2 with its supercharged engine, the second chapter of Z history is about to begin. A distillation of the vast technology possessed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. The innovative Z H2 is a motorcycle worthy of the title “ultimate”. This new flagship model will lead the Z Series into the future.
At the heart of the design of the Kawasaki Z H2 was the goal of making the most powerful, hardest accelerating and most radical naked bike ever attempted by Kawasaki. The aim was to combine the technological excellence of the H2 platform with the famous Sugomi design to create a sense of visceral, raw feeling of unprecedented power. Design is unapologetic and animalistic highlighting the aggressive stance and sharp lines of Kawasaki Z H2.
Sugomi style exudes Kawasaki DNA, Supercharge your riding life with the Kawasaki Z H2.
No Compromises Necessary
Unbelievable supercharged performance.
The centerpiece of the design of the Kawasaki Z H2 is the engine. The bodywork is designed in such a way that the engine is as visible as possible. And for good reason, the famous Kawasaki Supercharged 999cc powerplant is a feast for the senses to all those who appreciate mechanical excellence. The engine itself is a masterpiece, perfectly smooth, responsive, economical engine which easily passes the Euro 5 emission regulations. Open the throttle however and you will unleash the 197 horsepower and 137nm of world bending torque. Peak power achieved at 11000RPM and peak torque available at as little as 8500 RPM. It is difficult to appreciate the performance looking at the numbers alone. To put it in perspective, that is the same power as the mighty ZX10R and 22nm of torque more but available at 3000RPM less!
Trellis frame
Harness of the immense power
Able to harness the full power of the supercharged engine, the Z H2’s specially designed frame offers a combination of high-speed stability and light handing that facilitates control when riding in the city or on twisty roads – seemingly contrary characteristics. The compact frame, an ideal basis for the form of a naked model, has a high-level balance of stiffness and flexibility, allowing a wide range of riding situations to be tackled.
Seamless gear changes
Ride at ease
The assist cam reduces the clutch spring load for lighter clutch lever operation, which helps reduce rider fatigue in city riding situations like stop & go traffic or traffic jams. The slipper clutch relieves pressure from back-torque to help prevent the rear tyre from hopping and skidding when downshifting.
Manafactured for the greatest
High performance
To be easy to ride at low and medium speeds, as well as high speeds, the Z H2 needed a brake system that matches its performance. The front brakes are gripped by Brembo M4.32 monobloc calipers. Machined from cast aluminium blocks, their highly rigid one-piece structures boast strong braking force. The calipers are radially mounted, further contributing to their high performance.
Full LED lighting
Be seen
All the lights – including the headlamp, taillight as well as turn signals and license plate lamp – are equipped with LED bulbs. Low power consumption and high durability improve maintainability while providing high-light intensity and high illumination. The light’s vivid colouring contributes to excellent visibility from the surroundings, significantly contributing to enhanced night riding safety.
