- Another Dream ride with The Bike Specialist, this time it's the crazy supercharged Kawasaki H2. Chris struggled to keep the front wheel down and most of onboard footage was unusable due to the giggling.

The best motorcycle reviewer on TH-cam currently ......full stop
Absolutely.
Agreed. 👍
Absolutely 💯
Cheers guys, we work hard on these vids and appreciate the feedback.
full go
Chris the legend actually shows you what bikes are capable of. Doesn’t potter around for 30 minutes at 45mph telling you how they once hit a slight bend at 50 and it handles well like other TH-camrs
That's because he's got a some serious balls or a death wish Haha. Very skilled rider either way.
@@stichupman for sure I watch him knowing I won’t be able do 50% of what he can but nice knowing a bikes capable 😂
@@DucatiDale a lot of the time a crash can be avoided if you got the balls to lean it over but sadly not always the case with me Haha.
Thanks, that’s the plan. Average has become the normal, if you’re going to spend this much money on a bike you’d like to know what it’s capable of.
@@BikeWorldTVshow me buying one would be purely willie waving I'd never get nears it limits Haha. Good to see someone who can though.
If this guy found it scary then it must be terrifying, good job rider and bike!
I picked up a 2020 one of these earlier this year, it's epic, absolutely epic! I don't know how Kawasaki got away with building this thing, but I'm glad they did!
Hi bud are you from the uk mate
@@MotoQuickShifter close mate, I'm across the water in Ireland
@@K-carbon where are you based lad?
They made the first bullet train in 1964.
Hello Chris, because of you I bought h2 in 2018, still impressed with the bike ✌🏻. Best regards from Moscow, Russia 🇷🇺
Love you Russia fellow H2 owner 💚💚💚
Shit! Congrats for the bike 👏🏻👏🏻
That supercharger & exhaust note combo is amazing! It must feel “limitless” when you open the throttle 😮😊
I might record the "chirrrruppp"ing and play it in my Bluetooth helmet sp I can pretend to have a super charger
I had one now for 8 years and people still go crazy when they see one, if some say it's ugly then they also think a Lamborghini Countach is ugly, they look extreme!
It's one thing to open it up hard on straight roads, it's quite another on a roller coaster back road !! Go Chris...I'll just watch you try and tame it 👍🙂
Chris, you have the BEST way to review a motorcycle... I own two bikes and watch videos about them all the time and you have the best style for describing and showing the bikes.
Thank you Chris for finally giving a review of the H2 that's on point! What an review!!! Finally somebody who gets it!
Watching it for the 3rd time
Hi bud do you own a h2 if so are you based in the uk
I get the impression maybe most other reviewers were, quite rightfully, too timid to really push the bike on the road. The bike is only savage because Chris is a beast. I'm sure it's a pussy cat if you just cruise around on it.
@@MotoQuickShifter not in the UK;-)
@@pauldark3044 Probably wants to steal it.
Love these short reviews perfect and a genuine dream ride.
Kawasaki H2, my wet dream. Hopefully, when I win the lottery I'll get one H2 and one Z900RS SE. Just Kawasaki, nothing else!
Cheers from Athens, Greece!
Absolute beast of a bike dream machine ❤
Great arnt they 😁
Hello Sean Chops yes theyre an awesome machine 💚
Hell yeah! Been meaning to ask, do you have to park yours in a separate garage so it doesn't frighten all the other bikes?
I have it's quiet sibling, the Z H2 SE. I love it. The mid-range power leaves my '12 ZX14R behind.
This particular unit stock has 200 horsepower. The dash and instruments show it’s a 2015-2018 model. The updated H2 and H2 Carbon from 2019 through 2022 has 228 horsepower stock, and a much updated TFT dash.
The new h2 boost is now limited ,the early ones are not,buy a 2015 to 2019 to tine
That’s you told !
Brilliant as always. Best bike channel on YT.
Chriss should do daily videos...They are friggin awesssssommme..😍😍😍
Mate that fly by @3:50 sounded so good 😍
sounded like wheelie control kicked in there too
Love the final comments, "You guys are idiots. I love it!" It's crazy how close folks are to riding WSB bikes on the road now (not including actual road races.)
See the thing is as far as bike reviewers goes, Chris here is the most lovable and probably the rowdiest hooligan that’ll ever swing a leg over these two wheeled supercharged hell bikes we call the H f’n 2s baby!😂👏 What are you waiting for… go buy one!
Have my ZX14 and she is an amazing beast. The H2 would be another level beyond. Kawasaki monster muscle flex.
Could have been longer, but still great - and thanks to The Bike Specialist for letting you on ..... Could I have a go?
Had one of these myself. Without doubt the greatest bike I've ever owned! But now I have a ZH2 I'm more happy as the bike is just too nuts for the crap roads around me. Great vid mate
That wastegate flutter is beautiful
Best sales job for the H2 I’ve ever seen. I didn’t need one but now i do need one. Not want, need.
I love that gloomy angel of death front end. Fitting for October. 🎃
Way out of my capabilities as a biker... But I'd bloody love a go on one! Another great video
Beyond most people's capabilities but its bragging rights Haha. My uncle has one but he always loves to have bigger and better.
Mostly I never care much for carbon fibre except for weight savings, but on this particular bike it just makes sense visually as well. Because there's so much of it the overall look is so subtle and it just suits the bike.
The Japanese are masters. ❤️
japanese have weak engineering compared to euro superbikes now
@@jake88ci comes with a very big price tag. Japanese suit my wallet very nicely. 💰
there's only three 'serious' channels on youtube worth watching for first ride impressions and reviews:
Revzilla's Ari and Zack
MCN's Michael Neeves
Bike World's Chris
Thanks, we really appreciate the feedback.
Excellent. And green is my fav colour too.
Honestly really enjoyed the video i just wish there was more footage of it on the road
I loved your review of the original H2
I don't find it too heavy, but I did progress to it from a ZZR1400. Unfortunately the supercharger blew up so it's off the road at the mo, just waiting for a new one.
Well done, Chris! 😁
I think it's a beautiful bike.
Great review, stunning motorcycle! Would love to own one!
The adjectives used to describe this bike... make me want one. When a bike beats your @$$, you know it is a good bike 🏍 😂
Amazing review !!!
Sounds like it needs a good tune to unleash its full potential and better road manners......good review by the way!!
Great real world review! I wouldn’t know what to do with that power but sure wouldn’t mind a little seat time on one.
Oh the bike goes more modern than before. Awesome! Chris and Bike World team, can we have the controversial Ducati 999R please :(
I actually prefer the 999 over the 916 and think it's better looking.
the early h2 models have a different character than the newer ones and I like them more how it's still aggressive.
great footage, great set
Chris out here, ringing the neck of an H2 on tight/twisty roads and giving real world experiences, what a lad.
Brilliant once again 🎉
Please make a video with the Fireblade 17 🥲
In my opinion the H2 is the best bike ever built
And the most fun
I own one and it is 100% the best. Best engine ever built
@@Flakapief it's an experience to ride! Makes me smile every time
Sounds awesome watching this makes sense to get lottery tickets 😁,,heard some on utube with the vandemen pipe and work on the electronic and fueling,,be ,, quick enough for me,,but what a motorcycle,, get bike ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland
glad to own the '22
Me too brother 💚
Best 9 minutes spent on internet today.
Do things on H2R more, if possible to get it on road by permissions and stuff , can you? Just wanted to know how it would be like and all, or make some videos on H2, have no suggestions for the time what kind of but yeah, would definitely like to see more H2R/H2 on the channel. Pakistan has H2Rs and India has H2s so would like to see what you guys do with those. And Chris and the team, you guys always make it so better to watch your videos. Thanks. ❤️🎉🎊🥳
The H2 is just an exhaust and retune away from 250bhp at the wheel (Lambchop has one). If you can use that on the road then you're a better rider than me but personally I don't see the point of getting a H2R converted to be road legal.
Well Kawasaki launched new motorcycle line up for 2023 today Oct. 4th! And (USA) website doesnt have the ZX4R listed.
Chris any rumors they are making ZX4R's for the UK? Cheers, fun video with gigglez! 😆
Chris Awesome 😂 love your posts
You should do a episode for the first superduke ,990r amazing bike ahead of it’s time
Im so glad i purchased a ninja h2 the best thing ever, i will never sell my H2 💚
Fuck me that's ace Chris you are the man 🙌
Chris Harris' two wheeled cousin? Together the Chris and Chris are the best reviewers on t'web.
Another great video, thanks.
I’ve watched your original launch video many times, it’s a classic.
Is the H2 more exciting than a 2022 Panigale? Was all set to get the Pani, until I watched this!!! 🤔😂👍🏻
Panigale is a lame bike
H2 more exciting in a wild way, Panigale is lighter and probably more fun to throw around on tighter roads. Maybe get a Panigale and fit a supercharger?
@@chrisnorthover7582 Maybe get some knowledge on bikes??
If throwing a supercharger on a bike was that easy everyone would do it.
@@chrisnorthover7582 Why didn’t I think of that! 😂👍🏻
How does this review NOT want to make you mortgage everything you have to get one?!
Desmo now H2 carbon. There's my 2 dream bikes ticked. Thanks Guys
Gen 1 BMW S1000rr HP4 please
That's also one monster for it's time.
wayyy too tech for it's time
a decade ago to be precise.
Personally I'd take a 1400. The looks alone kills it for me, that headlight
This motorcycle is in-sane…..
What an awesome bike man. One day hahaha! Great video guys.
The No. 1 bike in the world: Kawasaki Ninja H2R
Get your H2R wings online, toss out that shitty exhaust for a full titanium and remove the restrictions for 250 HP
I'm not sure I'd want the full bore H2, I'd love a H2SX though.
On paper this (older H2, 200hp) is not that scary... But this is one of those bike that you must ride it to feel it isn't it?
I’ve just bought one in Australia now I’m scared
I don't understand why they never used the supercharger on smaller capacity bikes, imagine a supercharged 250RR or even a 400RR.
You need to race this against mat Watson
Isn't the weight of this bike similar to the original Z1?
Would love to see some top-drawer 'exotica' in this series, something along the lines of a Bimota V-Due...
Chad's on a Bimota KB4 next week, will that do Steve?
@@BikeWorldTVshow Certainly whets my whistle!
I love mine. Put more money than I want to admit into mine.
I know the feeling bro welcome to the H2 Club 💚
Amen😁
If it had a set of mesh Ducati style wheels on it, it would help. That back wheel is awful.
Easy day for video editors with bike sticker on Speedo 😂😂😂
Only Kawa could do this bike.
I'd buy one and leave it in my garage, as I would be too scared to even start it.
Wheelie on going down hill...😰😰😰😰🥶🥶🥶🥶
Hey @bike world Spidi is your partner yes? Please list Chris' gear in every video so if we like it we can buy it!
Yep, they are. We’ll start doing that. Cheers!
@@BikeWorldTVshow Thank you!!
God I love crazy 😁😈💯
DM me if you want to know the road. I won't reply but you can always try.
I thought I read that Kawasaki was going to stop making this bike cause they have the naked version?
Don't think so, they've just announced the 2023 H2R is available
The H2 isn't being sold any more along with the ZZR1400R 636 ninja in Europe as won't meet the new emissions bollock but it may be possible to maybe get one if there in stock sum where in the EU
The H2R bypass all the regulations and emissions crap hence why kawasaki are officially offering them for sale still
Thank god some of us humans are completely insane!
I don’t fully get this bike. You have Ducati’s with similar power and much less weight, so why choose this? Is it to flash and get 300+ HP?
It will have a lot more torque and a lot more potential. They are good for 250hp with some people pushing 300hp. In reality the ducati will be faster on a normal road. That being said just get a daytona 675 and that will just as fast as the ducati on a country road.
Different strokes mate, you know we aren’t all the same and want the same things?
It would piss me right off if Jay Kay from Jamiroquai kept visiting my rare and exotic bike shop to keep having a go on all my bikes and racking up the miles and drinking my coffee just so he can have the time of his life testing all his dream bikes and make a living off a YT channel and getting all you idiots to pay for it.
Hey, any idea how much we get from TH-cam revenue, it won’t even cover the petrol. We don’t do the Patreon thing like a lot of other channels, not much to ask people to subscribe if they like the vids is it? By the way, James loves us riding his bikes…
It must be me, cause every time I see the Kawa or bussa I just go meh🤷🏻♂️
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Cant order it for Europe i think..
I think Road legal h2 doesn't reach 211 mph isn't it???? As per I know Road legal h2 is heavily restricted to around 186 mph . Isn't it?🤔
You won’t hit either on the roads without getting arrested or taking HUGE chances… so it’s academic.
See: “the horsepower war”. Thank the Italians. The Speedo only goes to 186.
You won’t be saying ‘isn’t it’ in every sentence if you rode one.
@@metalheartmachine no Sir, thank the GERMANS, the same people who broke their own damn rules with the BMR 1000 R.R. DO YOUR RESEARCH OR DON'T COMMENT ON WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW. Thank all you from Europe for your current Euro 5 regulations, who were too ignorant and blind to see it coming.
Here in America, we can run turbochargers, superchargers, Nitrous and anything else we want. NO C.C.T.V. and cops to take our bikes away, just for speeding.
And then you go on TH-cam bashing us here in America 🇺🇸 because you are SICK jealous of our freedom. You are the laughing stock of the world. We can literally drive a car STREET LEGAL with 3,000 horsepower and you find it necessary to say something negative towards us. Talk about HYPOCRITES.
@@metalheartmachine have a 2020 H2 carbon got an indicators 193mph ECU is stock no flash tune
In Europe:
Z is zed
H is hay-ch
It's a little weird from the ears of a States citizen, to be honest.
I thought Maverick rode a GPZ 900 R?
You haven’t watched the movie, have you?
The original with tom cruise, 900r
吸気音のヒュルルルーが好き（＾ω＾）
I expect more fuel is burnt on these H2's just to hear the supercharger off than to ever be used in a commuter manner. I bet you got less than 8km per liter riding it that day.
dreaming a 600cc turbo charged one, with 20kg less...
Nope. Won't try one. The Kawasaki dealer insisted on me trying it out but I said I would like to go home in one piece thank you.
Sexiest bike ever made
I know people who thought I hyabusa was ugly. The H2 carbon is definitely not ugly. Dawn French is ugly. This isn't.
