Kawasaki Z H2 SE 2021

Kawasaki Z H2 SE 2021

What a naked bike! The Kawasaki Z H2 SE has one thing that is absolutely addictive: a supercharged power unit that works like a steam catapult! The 200 hp from exactly one litre of displacement actually seem to unite from idle and tug together on the chain right up to the limiter. Nor can the Z H2 SE be accused of lacking stability; the electronically adjustable chassis does a good job and above all provides sufficient comfort. At almost 240 kilos ready to ride, the Kawa is of course no lightweight and needs to be pushed into the bends, but you can't call it unwieldy either. A slightly wider handlebar would help. The appearance is clearly a matter of taste, but the protruding front offers comparatively good wind protection.
