- 2018 Kawasaki H2 SX SE Review - Ever since Kawasaki announced the original supercharged H2 I've been itching to have a go on one of these forced induction machines. The H2 SX SE is the top of the range touring edition...a completely new bike loosely based on the H2 but toned down a little for more long distance practicality. On paper the bike is a winner...what is it like in reality?
Thanks to Blade Motorcycles in Abingdon for making this review possible, visit them here www.bladegroup...

I purchased a H2 SXSE in April 2019 with the Akro, tinted screen and panniers and all the toys. Ran her in and took her fully loaded with my other half as pillion to the Pico's. Two+ weeks of biking heaven. This is an absolute weapon if you want it to be, but more than happy knocking off the miles on motorways if that's your thing.I put Bridgestone T31GT's on before the tour, the S21's are very good, but the rear lasted just over 900miles!!...
SKT's I must say normally this still of bike isn’t for me, I’m more cruiser and dual sport. However this bike just speaks to me, whispering my ear, you want me, you want mount and ride me. I would definitely listen if I could.
I purchased one in April, been all round northern Spain touring two up, amazing piece of kit... She's a keeper and a future modern classic in my view.
Looks much better than the ZZR1400 in my eyes. Will have to try one out, I think a tour is needed on this 😎😎
I look forward to seeing a review with this bike ridden "properly" by the Chop!
Lamb Chop Rides zzr1400 is about 35 kg lighter
:O how dare you say that!!! the zzr1400 is beautiful minus the rear tail light!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as the saying goes... Personally, I don't think it has the presence of the 1400, though the front being designed to look like Darth Vader's helmet is a nice touch :)
2wheels2fast ZZR1400 IS 13 KG heavier
I love how it looks. It’s an insane, 200mph (ish), supercharged nutter bike and it looks exactly like one.
Amazing machine that’s more capable than virtually any person that will ride it.
If I win the lottery, it’s top of my Wishlist.
I own the 2018 SX version and love it. I don’t miss the fancier TFT display because my attention is more focused on riding (often quickly) versus staring down where your eyes don’t belong. I did purchase the removeable side bags. I’m getting about 45 mpg which is great for a bike like this. My other bike is a Triumph Trophy SE for the really long touring
I like those older H2 gauges better actually. They look cool, are less distracting and keep costs down. New digital tech is almost immediately outdated anyhow...
A quick question. What gas mileage do you get out of full tank? I assume warning light comes on after about 160 miles..?
Traveling Joe do you still got it ? If so how is the bike treating you ? How many miles have you put on it ?
so sick of reviewers whining about wind protection. ITS A MOTORBIKE !!!!!!! note to motorcyclist if you ride you are going to experience wind buffeting, its a part of motorcycling. if you dont like it buy a bigger screen . EVERYONE KNOWS this! drives me nuts every time i hear it. enjoyed rest of review lol.... Rant over......
Not sure why people complain about poor rear brakes, they always will be poor.
It's like using your handbrake to stop your car, it's just a dragging brake.
Therefore will never be anywhere near as good as a front brake, which has different forces acting on them.
Great channel btw
Great review as ever. I've lived in Canada for thirty years but originally from Scotland and I must confess don't miss much but you're absolutely right when you say you can't beat Blighty on a beautiful Spring day. Thanks for the flashback 😊
If you can't escape white vans on a Kawasaki H2, I'm afraid you're doing it wrong. haha ;P
Love it although love the zzr14 too. I go out riding at 4am these days to avoid the overtaking lane hogs that clog up our roads and tempt bikersbinto undertaking. I am usually back for breakfast at 9am. Only things to consider on empty roads at that time are the increased risk of deer crossing roads.
Come to New Zealand - undertaking on motorways is normal (and legal) :o
Sold! Been looking for the right sports tourer and this has to be it. Now saving to buy one next spring :-)
Beautiful looking, high performance motorcycle in true Kawasaki tradition!
Test rode one last week with the semi active suspension, very nice indeed
I had the ZX-14 and loved it..but, had to raise the bars, lower the pegs and consume dangerous amounts of ibuprofen on long trips to survive. I went to a K1600GT and loved it, but missed the aggressive ride of the Kawi. Next went to the S1000XR and love it - great for long trips and plenty of get up and go. Picked up the H2SXSE 4 weeks ago. It's like the ZX14 and K1600GT had a love child. Those that say it isn't as comfortable or fast as the ZX14 are confused or just can't let go of the past. This may be the most rewarding bike to ride I've ever owned. Great review. Change the settings to F ( full power) and take it on an open road, you'll be ruined for all other bikes.
How would compare the S1000XR to the H2SX SE? I'm currently torn between the two. I have ridden the BMW but it's been quite a chore trying to find a Kawasaki dealer that will allow demos.
Watch the bike show vid on here,it's nowhere near as fast as the zzr sorry 😉and yes I've ridden both and it's not
As a "sport tourer" I can't help wondering if they should have given it shaft or belt drive.
Because it's a sport bike you can tour on, not a touring bike you can sport on (like an FJR1300 or ST1300).
They need to update the Concours with the supercharged engine
@@yvonjasser This is it.
If they had given it a shaft drive, I'd be all over it after my VFR1200F. Make it low maintenance.
Yes. My H2 eats tires and stretches out chains like no other, limiting the distance you can travel without wrencing to around 3.000 miles. It's a very short distance orientated touring bike.
I like the green, but wish there was more choices in colors. Maybe a red or burgundy, and blue is always nice. Silver maybe. Just some variety.
True. And personally i dont like the 2 tone.
I like the looks. Given that it's a sports tourer be interesting to know how easily it takes luggage,fuel consumption etc but acknowledge you only had the bike for a short time.Hopefully Kawasaki give a you test bike for a longer review👍
Sadly Kawasaki UK don’t talk to me...shame as I live literally down the road from them!
I thought my old blackbird was powerful in its day but this looks awesome very nice
Must be surreal rinding a missile with public speeds. Thanks for the review Sir!
Kawasaki launched a new H2 SX with Showa Semi Active Suspension now, spoke to Kirkcaldy Kawasaki in Fife Scotland and it costs £ 21,599 the dealer said. Looking forward to check it out.
Brilliant bike, brilliant first impressions video.
I think the 2019 "Plus" may be my next bike. Looks are a funny thing. I never thought about this bike at all until I "saddled" one last weekend. I'm not sure why I did, but I immediately fell in love with the "rider's triangle". Only then did I fall in love with the looks. I wonder how many great relationships begin that way?
Very many I imagine! 😉
Another Home Run for TMF. The day you ride the Yamaha Niken should be the day MCN offers you a job! I was excited for this one, and you didn't disappoint.
Yes looking forward to riding the Niken - stay tuned!
Ohhhh yessss Mr. Missenden that's what I'm talking about
Saw one of these parked up at the Northwest 200
It looks pretty sweet 👌
Only one kawasaki to have the Z900 RS unfortunately I have champagne tastes and lemonade pockets lol . Can’t see the point of all that power on a road bike.
Another great review you could really sense that the bike is very user friendly 👍
I'd love to own one, was chatting to a guy a couple of days ago who has one. He confirmed it's a very thirsty machine. It's one of those bikes that if you have to ask about running cost then you can't afford it. Sadly I'm in that category. I think it looks striking (though the exhaust would be binned) the paint job is amazing. Nice video Sir.
Thank you M4 - been a while since I heard from you!
TheMissendenFlyer I'm always here lurking in the shadows. Great work TMF.
Last night I watched you review a 125cc Chinese scooter.....I wake this morning to you riding this 1000cc supercharged beast.... I have entered the "Twilight Zone" Dah-dee-dah-dah, Dah-dee-dah-dah,Dah-dee-dah-dah, Dah-dee-dah-dah... LOL ;)
As a road bike the H2 SX SE is more than any rider could ask for, probably too much :) .... I wish Kawasaki fitted this H2 with a shaft drive like the Concourse has, personally I wouldn't want to be dealing with a chain on long tours.
Seems like a lot of hate in the comments section with regard to this bike. Lots of people complaining about the tech like lean angles being a waste of time.
U can reset all the data, and once u finish with your ride, u can call up info, like max lean angle on the trip. Might not be useful but a great talking point around the braai non the less.
Also lots of comments about how much better the zzr is compared to this. For me just having the latest tech and a bike the can corner and handle better will always be better than choosing a bike that's already 8yrs old.
But that's just me.
I suddenly need a new bike 😂
haven't seen TMF lose his composure yet, haven't watched this video yet, can't wait ! :P
Would you really consider a sport tourer more than just a street sport, rather than the H2 being a street legal racebike..
What an impressive bike! Like you, I'm a bit unsure of the pointy-looking front end, but the rest of it seems amazing. I do like that TFT plus analogue rev-counter - sets it apart from the all-TFT competition. Blighty looking beautiful there in the late Spring sunshine!
Cheers Andy (this was recorded back in early April believe it or not - cracking Spring we’re having)....
Love the analogue rpm with digital speedo
Looks like a comfortable ride. Would love to try one. Like you the only negatives for me are the looks. However I dare I say I could get past that while wringing nearly 200hp out of it! LIke the sound to the smoothness, but the windage would need some sorting if I was to tour on it. Also, think the g-meter, boost and throttle indicator are a bit gimcrack and could be a dangerous distraction while going into hyperdrive where you need your wits about you. Cheers for the review.
AWESOME! I do wonder how much power is too much power though. With you on the looks, think I'd still rather the Z900RS.
Looks amazing bike but not sure I’d want that much power or should I say, I’d never use the power. Looks great though.
Thanks for the review. I'm going to buy one this Saturday. Can't wait!!
Lucky man - enjoy!
TheMissendenFlyer Thanks...I’m sure I will.
Brilliant in-depth review.
Give me a ZZR1100 any day of the week, no bullshit, 4 carbs, handles ok and goes like stink, this is just to much IMO, great review as always 👍🏻
You did the Z1000 SX and now the H2 SX, this screams for a ZZR review! :). No, seriously, I am thinking of adding a ZZR to the stable even though it has way too much HP in my opinion. But after having ridden the Z1000 SX and ZZR I think it’s the most comfortable and best handling sports tourer around. Would love to hear your opinion when you rode all three Kawas.
It’s getting hold of a ZZR that’s the issue alas....
I know, I tested a second hand 2016 one as there was no demo around at any of the dealers here. I also find it the most beautiful looking bike of the three as a retro/naked/custom lover. Not that it's really retro but it still has the 90s look. :)
Ditto. There are simply NO demonstrators... been all over the West. S/H is the only option. I suspect they will run them out if the SX SE takes hold.
Yep, either run it out or give it a nice update like TFT and active suspension. Which makes the decision hard for me to either get a Performance Sport now or wait and see what happens by the end of the year and if they stop making it try to score a PE anyway. Wonderful bike although 150HP would have been more than enough. Reminds me of the CBR1000F and K1200RS I used to own. The Z1000SX and H2SX don't look half as good to me and the ZZR just handles so damn effortlessly for such a big bike.
I’ve got a 2017 Performance sport zzr. Yes it misses cruise control, quickshifter but as recent review in MCN it’s the h2 biggest problem. Cheaper and I think better. Wouldn’t part with it.
1624: I live round this area and there are much nicer roads with some twisty road and slower roads near the Milton interchange. Rowstock roundabout A417 turn left towards Streetly great sweeping bends and hills should try this on your tests, great channel keep it up.
Ethel!
Yes Ron
He's here again, that bloke on the motorbike. He's walking round and round it again muttering and pointing.
Enjoyed that, great! I like the styling and there’s some lovely touches, but too much pointless technology for me ( for the road anyway). Kawasaki’s are generally nice bikes with lovely engines. Come on Triumph, let’s have a replacement for the Sprint!
Glad it was sunny looks great in the walk around
I do enjoy your balanced, honest and informative reviews sir but I nearly choked when you said ‘25C and hot’, probably because I was chugging a Coopers Sparkling and was caught short with your comment about the temperature. Here in Australia 25C is quite pleasant.
Strangely, that fairing style reminds me of those 50's 60' American cars, all fins and wings. It's one of those marmite things, you'll either love it or hate it. That is one expensive motorcycle but as a flagship model, I don't suppose it is expected to sell in quantity, just draw attention to the brand. You really hit the nail on the head with that 50 miles an hour limit, thrashing comment. It's so hard to find roads where Mr Plod isn't going to take an interest in how fast you're going in the UK. When out for a longer ride, may I suggest one of my favourites the A342? Turn off the A338 near Tidworth and head up towards Devizes, glorious views on a quiet road with a good mixture of bends and straights, great for biking.
Nice one Geoff!
Love that road!
Not the best bodywork on a bike but that star back wheel is stunning. I can see that ending up on streetfighters.
I really like that you did a unproper walkaround of the bike at the dealer sir 😊, hope you cont. To do that.
Great review again sir, kawasaki is the 1st bike i have learn to ride a motorcycle and that bike still alive in my father garage in bits and pieces lol 😁😁😁
I have a Z1000SX (2018!) at the moment but I know this will be my next bike, I just love it.
A bike for the 'Play Station Generation' i recon.. Great review buddy,, chat soon.. Del.
Sure thing Del! Cheers mate....
oh I dunno.. my old man is 75 and loves mine
you prolly dont care at all but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Matias Briar instablaster =)
That’s like 90% of our days here in Australia. I’m still going to buy the vfr800f
Thank you for a great review. I traded in my K1600GT for this bad boy and I have never looked back. Great job Kawasaki. Bmw can certainly learn a few things from this machine.
I want a bike I can fix. I might struggle with all the electronics on these current beasts. Be interesting to see how in 25yrs time all this ‘wizardry’ holds up....
Great look at this bike, an excellent taster! Looks are very subjective....but as a continental tourer, the wind protection, thirst and smallish tank really miss the mark in my view.....but a technical marvel though!
@TMF: Sir splendid review again, I test rode one a few days ago and plonked £18.9k to pick up H2 SX SE Performance edition (It has few extras like smoked windscreen, knee pads & Akrapovic exhausts), awaiting for delivery of it shortly. Cheers :)).
Exciting times - congrats!
TheMissendenFlyer : Yes sir, Thank you.
Great review as always.
Not sure I can see the point of 197bhp for the road; just the first 3 gears would be enough.
The bike would be a bit intense for me, I would have more fun on the Z900; and take more pride in ownership.
Keep up the good work.
Regards Pete
I just bought a brand new Z900 and it's great but this H2 would be the best bike ever to own
You need a 2 speed
Would love to see you review the updated 23' She's a perfect swap from my 19' GL1800 DCT
It looks fantastic in the green and black and has some very impressive stats! I love those wheels...
Not sure it would tempt me away from my Adventure Bike, although maybe more because I’d be worried about losing my license!!
Great review though 🙂
We always know its a quick machine when the word “stonking” is mentioned more than once,who wouldn’t want a super charged bike,nice review hopefully you might get a chance for a long term review and we can find out what all them switches and modes do
Now wouldn’t that be nice!
I've been injured recently. Laying in bed binge watching your videos. All of a sudden, new video. YES!! IF you're reading this. I'm a big person at 6'2 245lb. Which Japanese liter supersport will be most comfortable in your humble opinion?
Probably this one! Hope you get well soon - all the best - TMF
TheMissendenFlyer haha. Fair enough. Was hoping you'd say gsxr because it's much much cheaper. Lol
Hello sir 👋🏼 love your reviews
Thank you Colin...
I’d love a bike with more power than my car.
Another fantastic review
Thanks...
Yes the looks are a bit funny on the front agree on those wheels though they are lovely. Its good that you report that such a beast of a machine is easy and comfortable. This style of the sports tourer has kind of been eclipsed by certain adventure bikes I guess, things like the Multistrada.
Hi TMF. Great review as usual. I rode this very bike back to back with the Z900rs a fortnight ago. The people at Blade in Abingdon were great. It cost 20 pound for insurance cover. The H2 SX was a great bike but far too powerful for my road skills, the Z900rs however was a brilliant bike for half the money. As other people have commented, the lack of electronic suspension is disappointing. Also I noticed on the H2 exhaust there was a chunk of plastic missing off the end trim of the exhaust. I know its a demo bike but for 18 grand that's bad. Cheers
Yes that Z900RS is a lovely bike isn't it....loved that puppy!
To all the dickheads in comments asking the difference between this and the OLD ZZR1400 - it's right there in the name - about 400cc fucking difference. Less fuel for the same/better performance and comfort (I got mine tuned to 230 rwhp with no add-ons just new tune). That and of course the power delivery which is instantaneous pure lineal fucking joy - so go ride the hulk and then do the same road on one of these and you will be hooked... I shit you not... I went to look at the retro Z900 and left the dealership on one of these and cannot stop riding it.....PLUS I cant see the ugly duck lip face of it from behind the bars - but I appreciate the stability the fairing delivers at the +200 kmh mark...
Fantastic review. Lovely machine. Keep up the good work.
Used to have a boost guage (Turbo) on my 1985 Kawasaki GPZ 750 Turbo. Wonder if it's still going..C936 BYE I still miss you..😢
Best bike reviews, ever! :) Great work.
Thanks Richard....
Just found my next bike. Great review TMF 👌🏼😃👍🏼
Cheers Shifty!
Thank you for the wonderful review. Excellent content as usual.
Thank you for watching!
Hope the weather is as good for your current Scotland tour. Thought this might be a great replacement for my MT10, now I'm less keen. Just too expensive and Chatting to a dealer if you get that supercharger chirping much that 19L fuel tank is quickly empty. Also those gimmicky lean sensor and boost gauges are just a plain distraction from keeping your eyes on the road. Cheers for the review TMF.
Thanks for watching as ever banditman....and if only the weather was like that up here! (On the ferry to Skye as I type!!)
TheMissendenFlyer That's Scotland for you: Fabulous scenery and roads when it's dry. Not had a drop here in the Midlands for over two weeks.
I always wonder how people keep their licenses on bikes like these.
Still, it's obviously one of the bikes on my list. Thanks for the video Mr. Flyer!
it would help if you are best friends with the local fuzz and buy them off with alot of booze
That is always an issue for sure! I'm not sure I would....
This is why I sold my GSXR 750. Had it for 2 years, fantastic bike. Thankfully never got caught riding like an idiot. But the bike was like a drug urging me on to go faster and faster. Sold before I ended up on the news or dead. So looking for something more sensible like one of these new retro's.
Great review. Im looking for a sport tour bike and this one has my attention. Will be going to check it out very soon ..
this is my dream bike! I love it one day I hope I will have it.
I went past that spot you stop at in Steventon yesterday on my way to take the grass cuttings to the local rubbish tip just out of the village there. I'll give you a beep if i see you sometime reviewing a bike.
Please do!
22:08 - ...boring ride through France LOL Great video as usual, keep 'em coming.
Nice review as always TMF
Love the mechanical genius of the bike but I might be stuck in an old school style vortex. Beam me up Scottie. Really like your reviews Sir.
Yes me too...and thanks!
Hi TMF, great review as always, test rode the standard SX which is a great bike, and obviously this H2 model is something else, and exhaust aside quite like the looks, however I will stick with my Italian twins lol.
Would be good to see a first ride / review of the Kawasaki H2 if possible.
Great review and a great bike, Love it. It takes a good few weeks to learn all the options on the thing, for example an option to feel how much engine break you want. Love the look but would change the can on it.
Yes I couldn’t really do the tech any justice on this first ride, amazing bit of kit though....
The fairing looks like it came of Adam West's Batbike
I knew it reminded me of something!
Maybe the TMF should wear a cape, mask and tights for the next review 😯
Reg Prescott HOLY TMF.
Why are you pulling in the clutch to shift? This bike doesn’t require it.
Also seems weird, grabbing full handful of clutch lever, especially after you say clutch is very light.
It’s just how I ride - don’t sweat it….
That is one sexy bike! And you get a lot of bike for the money. NOW I JUST NEED THE MONEY lol
Nah I'll keep my zx14r, it's bad ass & paid for : )
Yep purchased 2008 ZX14 special edition I've put over 30k into her. It's got 1417 kit turbocharged. I pull away from my buddy's Ninja H2. I'm just waiting for Kawasaki build the 14R just like H2 SX electronic suspension. Then I'm in heaven.
@@ross5506 looking at big sport "touring" bikes and the zx14 really gets high praise but the electronics and upgrades on the H2 SX SE are what is awesome. If Kawasaki released a 2020 zx14 with all the upgrades they wouldn't be able to make enough of them I bet.
Know what you mean....after much deliberation I'm keeping my Peugeot 106 diesel.
Somehow I didn't enjoy the ride with you today Andy. If I had lots of spare money and and no wife and no kids and no mortgage and no commuting fuel bills and no credit card . . . . I just might be tempted to consider this mighty powerful machine. But as a mere mortal, its a non-starter for me. Can you imagine trading in the SUV for this brilliant piece of 2-wheeled extravagance? Then still no money, Insurance crippling, wife and kids leave you, life expectancy halved. All for an occasional blast down a motorway. Just temporarily mind, Points accumulation / ban absolutely inevitable!
He he - I know what you mean, I’m glad bikes like this exist but not for me either....
Tried one of these yesterday. Quite an addictive sound when you shift gears, especially in high rpms. Overall very fun to ride. Not as much low end power as the Hayabusa I had, but more top end for sure.
Excellent review as ever. 😊
Hey, mate as always quality job (loved your Scotland tour vids!) now you have done a vid on my bike!... I have some different parts fitted that make it really really good (carbon rims Ti exhaust etc) am loving riding it and videoing as I go (although I ride it a bit differently lol)
The 2019 H2 sx se+ Brock did a video for about $1000. Slip on, custom air filter, ECU flash 248 rear wheel horsepower! Who needs the regular H2? Best of all it's much cheaper on insurance, thinking about getting one until June 17th 2019 4.99% for 84 months with nothing down comes to just at $408 per month or $102 a week.
Looks great
In my youth had the GPZ 750 turbo - very quick but unlike the H2 did not corner very well!
Entertaining review as ever, but 197 BHP for our roads................not for me anymore!
Cheers, Jon.
No not me I must admit - I value my licence (and life) too much!
Question, you gave a hand signal to help the mate with his signal light blinking along. I couldn't see what you did. Would be good to know how you execute the helpful signal.
Great review, sensible & non-biased.Thanks.
Just open and closed the palm of my hand blinker style...
TheMissendenFlyer thanks.
Great review. Thank you!
Pretty good review. As someone that lives here in the US however, just can't get used to the frequency of the word "lovely" as used by Brits. It just doesn't seem applicable when describing a motorcycle, especially a sporty /powerful one.
Fair enough, I have a similar issue with the frequency that Americans use the word “awesome”.....
@@TheMissendenFlyer I too have that issue. As a 64 year old man the influx of new descriptive words from much younger generations ( ages late teens - adults in their late 20s) is both difficult to keep up with and accept. Some that annoy me are.... awesome, sic, epic, radical. I prefer "cool". Lovely sounds too feminine or perhaps a term used by men who prefer other men instead of women.
I look forward to an upcoming review of the 2020 Kawasaki Z H2 of which I intend to purchase for this upcoming riding season.
oooooooo my local dealership too! nice vid mate
Having the lean angle, boost and throttle position on the TFT is nice, but if I was riding that beast through the twisties at speed, the last thing I would be looking at is those gauges. I think I will stick to my R1200RT.
Another good vid TMF. Thanks for my 10% discount on my screen protector, how about some 10% discounts on Bikes :-) Joking! That Steverton road you use is known for its bad surface. An alternative could be taking the road into Wantage and going north which will bring you passed the end of that road, not all 50mph, but mind the speed camera you can see to the left of the road you turn out of.
Great review, now's a good time for a ZZR1400 review. Cheers..
