Here's a really in-depth review of the bike kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrhijNVerbSwe6s.html

The supercharger noises would get really addictive really quickly. The big lights on the front are cornering lights. They light up more and more as you lean the bike over.

I just bought the h2 sx. Have it for two months now and I am really getting to know the bike now. It is such a smooth yet incredibly powerful machine. I liked your statement of one bike on top of another one. That is exactly what I feel too. Above 6k rpm there is a new layer of power to enjoy. I absolutely love it. Even with my 6ft4 it's not a problem

I've had mine since 2018 and it never ceases to put a smile on my face. Plus I can pick up some groceries on it. Not really a fan of the new front/rear ends on the new models with the adaptive cruice control pods tho. A quick ECU flash will easily unlock another ~50 hp on these things without even breaking a sweat.

The camera in the windscreen is for the auto hi beam. It will turn high beam on and off with on coming traffic. As others have said the lights on the side are your cornering lights. The more you lean the more light you get for the corner.

Cornering lights. Depending on how much you lean determines how many of them turn on

I have those lights on my 2019 Versys 1000.. They are cornering lights.. as you lean they come on to light the corner.. VERY handy at night.

That bike is awesome. Love watching your reviews. This lights are the turning lights. They turn on on the side that is leaned over so that it lights up the road more to see around the corner. I hope that makes sense. I hope you do a review of the Moto Guzzi Mandelo or V85TT soon. Maybe you have and i missed it...hahaha. Anyway, all your vids are good, and you've really encouraged me to practice more. Especially my slow speed stuff.

I bought the Ninja 1000sx a few weeks ago, and I'm loving it. I moved back to a liter bike from a Harley Dyna.

I have the same feeling. I don't know how they do it, but just Kawasaki knows how to build a bike, so that you love it (Happy ZX14R owner).

I think they are cornering lights that automatically turns on when the bike make sharp corners

Your enthusiasm is really infectious! Happy days 👌💚did you guys get the ZZR 1400? That was epic. Kawa such an underrated manufacturer. Quality built as good as anything.

I bought one in 2019 after having Busa’s for many years. The H2 is a far superior motorcycle in every way… I’ve just had mine remapped now the warranty is out, she’s pushing out 222bhp now… insane for a sport touring motorcycle👌🏽

This bike did throw the mighty BMW Tourers from the throne for me too. There is just something about it that instantly clicked with me. The seating position, how the wind is designed around you, how mechanically perfect it is.. It's the whole package for me. I would even recommend it to people who do not look for its power, the bike is just super maneuverable even for riders who are not super experienced with high poweder bikes. You can see this as a nice sedan instead of an SUV with all its advantages due to the layout alone. I love mine.

Those are the cornering lights depends on how far you lean to which light comes on it's 10%,20%,30% lean angle I love them really helps to see at night in the corners 😁

Got mine 1st of this month, so 2 weeks in. Got the Performance Tourer. It's Amazing, Loving everything about it so far. Not broken in yet but still working it. @Motojitsu - The lights you were wondering about are the cornering lights that could come on automatically with intensity dependent on your lean angle. Looking forward to a great time /relationship with this 'beauty and the beast'. 😀

Even as someone who rides electric, the H2 SX is also my favorite bike! I sat on one and geez it's huge! Personally I wouldn't ride one (I am just a commuter after all) but man. I'd love to ride on it as a passenger. The engine sound doesn't sound "annoying" to me either! I think it's also the bike which holds that 400km/h world record.

I demo'd the SX SE a few weeks back, I was very impressed with it. The UK weather wasn't on our side but you could still feel the capabilities on the bike. amazing!

It is an INCREDIBLE bike! I owned the 2018 with luggage and lowered the pegs a bit for longer rides and a few other performance mods.... a flash by Vcyclenut made it even better!, etc. Went from NC to South Dakota and Wyoming in 2020 during the lockdowns and it was fantastic on the highways. Nothing touched it. I thought my sport bike days were over and I got rid of it in 2021, but have regretted it ever since. Now I am on a 2022 Ducati SV4S and having a great time with that. My long distance days are past but my addiction to speed and power is still as strong as ever! Be safe!!

Those lights are cornering lights, the more you lean, more lights will light up :) That sensor below the windshield is for the auto high beam feature. I own a 2022 model and I LOVE it :)

Ich have the 2022 Version of it. The big lights on the side of the bikes are curve lights so they light up in 3 modes when you make turns. The more you lean the more they light up. I have now arround 6000km and I totally love this bike ❤

I wanted this one, but settled for the 1K sx which is still fantastic.

Flash it yesterday! I woke up my '20 ZH2 a lot.

This with a vandemon exhaust system is one of the best sounds I've ever had the joy of hearing. This bike will pretty much steal the joy of any other bike you have, very hard to match.

I have the 2022 H2 SX SE and I love it 👍👍

One more thing. I love the little laugh everyone does when they ride this bike. 4 years later and i still have that little giggle when i open her up.

I also have a 2003 busa and my H2 SX SE will out run it at top speed. I'm fixing to have my H2 flashed and tuned and it will be pushing about 230 HP

I have owned all of the h2s and if you like it now the bike is insanely neutered factory the 22-23 dont have a tune yet (any day now) but the 18-21 mine dynoed 220 wheel on a 100 degree day. You should find a tuned sx! The tuned zh2 is an insane animal as well. From factory they are just so neutered mine dynoed less than my 08 hayabusa but once the tune was done it was a monster.

the start up sound...I love 4 cylinders but I'm on two so many years with ADV bikes.

Love my 22' - That black device on the windshield is the new fer 23' Auto High Beam addition-

I used to own a 84 turbo 750 and the whine is addictive.

The gear ratios blow me away compared to my little r3 lol 😂. Chilling in third at 70. I’d be wide open in 6th!

Just brought a 2018 H2 SX love it.

Great review. That bike sounds awesome! Thanks

Your title on video is wrong. Hayabusa can never be killed...it can only be chased after. This is the legend of Tokyo - the designer riding a Hayabusa and a ninja sent out to get him on a Kawasaki ZX14R are still chasing each other on the metropolitan highways of Tokyo...and they went faster than the light speed and time dilated back to the 90s...they are stuck in the time loop, and if you still have Moto Startac, you can sometimes can hear their buzzing by. They are expected to come out of the time loop sometime in 2049...its a truly legendary bike.

Great review, to the point and great to hear how your experience with other bikes compares with this to give a thorough perspective! I also own this bike and I noticed you didn’t take it much beyond 7k, that is when the supercharger comes on full and it accelerates harder than my ZX10R. Let’s put it this way, a 911 turbo s 650 on the road this just cruised past it on full boost! 😂 definitely a great all round machine

Pretty sure you engage the cornering lights with the engine either running or key on in the main vehicle settings menu.You won't need to keep resetting those after the initial setup.

This is my dream sport bike ❤😍 And that beautiful Hulk green! ❤

I only imagine what the book calls for in a valve adjustment as far as time and intervals......few dealers are competent enough to do them and even though ive always done my own bucket n shims, this bike is more intimidating

Sounds sooooooo smooth. Kinda reminds me of my homies bmw bike i love the sound of the new bmws

That is a awesome bike awesome review I want to go buy 1 now !!! Thanks!! Lol!

Finally, I told you about this bike years ago, knew you would love it.......I own this bike............

Great review. Love this bike, want this bike !

Would love to ride this bike, seems like a keeper. I bought the Suzuki B-King years back when they came out and still have it, added a windscreen for highway speeds which made a huge difference. Have you driven one? It’s one of those bikes you either love or hate. I know, it’s ugly because mainly the huge bulky exhaust (I replaced mine with some yosha) but once you get pass that the bike’s performance is incredible, loads of power and very nimble. They are getting harder to find nowadays but I’m thinking of selling along with a couple of my other bikes. Nice video. One of my draw backs about BMW, finding a service center is hard especially if you own but one from a dealer out of state. Never have a problem when I have to have my Suzuki or Honda serviced. I’m on my 8th BMW now and it’s just a pain. I stay away from the in-line motors they make, had too many problems, I stick with the boxers.

Nice review keep up the good work MotoJitsu

7:23 bless you (sneeze..) - such a beautiful ride!

Just bought a used 2022 with only 315 miles on it. Its a excellent bike.

Hi Greg! Those are lights for the curve. And the little sensor above the headlight is for the warning when someone gets hard on the brakes right in front of you; the dash will flash red when it engages. What an awsome bike the Kawasaki Heavy Industries have made!!! Can you imagine the price??? That´s also WOW!

Fantastic review thanks for sharing Regards Dave from Scotland 1981 Suzuki GS850G and Ninja zx9r rider

I do love my BMW K1300S 2009 but I feel this motorcycle would be great upgrade ! Awesome looking bike.

Top dog , radar and camera work in conjunction with each other for the rides assist tech .

I have one of these and they are amazing!!!!!

The H2 Ninja is my dream bike, if I can ever afford one.

so if im going right and i push my right handlebar and then i realize i need more lean angle but im already leaned, how do i do that ? should i push right handlebar more ?

LOVE THIS BIKE! Wish it came in a DCT! That would make it PERFECT for me…Ride safe!

I am interested in one but can’t find a dealer to let me test ride. I want the front and rear radar censors. So it looks like the Tiger GT will get my cash. Too bad I was leaning towards the H2. Good video.

Another one of those scary bikes, but the bodywork and the general finishing is great.

“it’s like ice cream, or cocaine, whatever.” Well I’m sold

Is the quickshifter as buttery-smooth as it is on the Hayabusa? I've read that the qs on the Kawasakis can be clunky (on the upshifts)

The only thing missing off of that rocket is a parachute to help you slow down.😄

Love the reviews... I was thinking that if you rode past a glass store front we could see the riding position. 🤔

too. There is just something about it that instantly no one can predict it clicked with me. The seating position

Why would you want to not lean at all as a taller person ? I am 6'6 and sitting upright like on the S1000XR was horrible, worse than a naked bike with that windscreen buffeting on the helmet, It was torture, not touring 😛 An aggressive but still comfortable forward lean like on the H2SX is what you really want as a tall person. Wait until you try this bike with the full exhaust system and ecu flash (around 240hp on the rear wheel) The radar for adaptive cruise control is below the headlight, the lights at the side that looks like turn signals are lean sensitive lights that light up when leaning in curves in 3 stages, like 20,30 and 40 degrees (You should try these at night, really cool effect). If you remove the centre stand and put a full system on this bike you can actually remove like 35-45 lbs (20kg less weight will make it close to a Ninja 1000SX), combined with better tires like the Pirelli Angel GT 2 you can make it handle even better =) Ps. Yeah Yamaha def have the worst breaks of any brand on their sportbikes, it is not something they have to learn from kawasaki or something they need for figure out, it is just a thing they always try to save money on. They could just put the Brembo M40s on their new sport bikes like the MT-10, would not even have to be the Brembo M50 or Stylema just the old M40 cal that the old Speed triple S or Ducati Supersport 939 had would make a huge difference and they are not that expensive brakes. I think it is the least you could ask from Yamaha now that the prices on their MT-10 among other bikes went up a lot.

I caught up to this on my race to work.I was on my Honda 954. He had dropped three gears and waitet until I was side to side with him …and then he rocketed out of view.

I really like it even though I'm not a fan of the green tft display, having said that it's nearly 10 grand more than a hayabusa so no room for comparison there. Totally different.

Great review, it's curv lights

You do the best real world reviews.

This one is so restricted from the factory, once all potential is open by flash it is monster machine :) PS these lights are cornering lights

Hi, how about the heat from engine? i see some complain that's hot air blow out to the rider is too obvious compared others.

Those big lights are for cornering.

If anyone has any doubts, buy the the bike. It’s an engineering marvel. I love mine and it unlike anything you’ve ever ridden before.

the big lights are cornering lights.. Id be interested to find out if they can be activated manually though

If not able to show us your seating angle with a second camera, can you please shows us your reflection in the dealer’s window as you drive out of the dealership. Just a suggestion. Thanks😊

Riding a boosted motorcycle is honestly life changing for a motorcyclist IMO. If you can, try to get your hands on a turbo Hayabusa and see how you like that. Similar but different, the turbo powerband is linear and amazing.

Is it a straight swap for '98 Honda VFR 800?

I miss my NINJA 1000 SX. Loved it.

An all rounder monster ❤

They are the cornering lights i belive the massive ones on the side.

Thing on the windscreen is for the automatic high beams

Purchasing this bike as soon as I arrive at Japan by this December Prob gonna take 3 ~ 4 months to arrive after the purchase I guess

They are cornering lights that light up during the bend.

These are cornering lights, they lit when you lean

You sponsored by Kawa now? I got a 93 KDX 200 thats pretty fun

The supercharger sounded a little funny at 7:23

Damn dude what a bike looks amazing

Greg, they may turn on at a certain angle when riding around a curve. That would be sweet!

I would still rate Busa for looks, maybe I am old school but not yet sold on these modern square box designs. But love the tech on H2. (PS: Beauty is subjective)

Awesome bike. However, at 28k for me I'll keep my zx14r. But I'd love to ride one. Nice review. Props

Modern literbikes are busa killers. Lol. I just had this talk on an instagram post yesterday. The busa is not the behemoth it once was. All that displacement is great, but Suzuki really skated by with it, because of its reputation as being the fastest. It hasn’t been in a long time, but people still talk about it like it’s the fastest thing on the planet. Suzuki really dropped the ball on the third gen. They had the ability to do something amazing with it.

Those lights are cornering lights, they come on when you lean over to light up the corner.

In Germany this machine costs approx. 10k more than a hayabusa or mt10, I would consider this a "negative" omitted.

Bike in the video is a higher spec SE version with electric assist suspension.

You should try a triumph t120 or some similar style of bikes

What do you or anyone who has had a chance to sit on/ride both, think about the body triangle/seating position of this vs the zh2? Is the zh2 more up right than this one or are they very similar.

Love your channel, I’m an avid rider and get lots of good advice from you. My previous bike was a 2020 Yamaha MT 10. I’m considering the 2023 Yamaha MT 10 SP. But this bike also popped up on my radar. How do you feel that this bike compares to the MT 10 SP in power ? With this bike smoke the MT 10 in a drag race ? Or top speed Thanks

Dream bike material right here.

ZZR1400 has approximately the same bhp as the H2 But as a larger cc engine has a more linear power curve. Good old fashioned grunt 😊

Are the excellent brakes on the bikes you test, always Brembo's?

yea, nice, but very heavy and also ALWAYS GREEN !!

I owned the original H2 - 3 cylinder 2 stroke. Knickname “Widow Maker”. This is like 1975. Remember.. 2 am, sitting at a red light with 2 left hand turn lanes. Norton 850 Commando pulls up next to me blipping the throttle. I actually ignored him. I didn’t engage in street races … but.. he took off on green. I let him go. Looked around. Deserted street. Made the turn. Straightened out (the 1st H2just couldn’t corner) and opened the throttle. Slight delay with that 2 stroke.. then bye bye. 😊
