I've ridden a Ninja H2 before but after releasing the Kawasaki Ninja H2 they decided they'd put that monster of a motorcycle into a touring platform which is what we are riding today, Kawasaki's Ninja H2 SX SE+ . Let's see how the performance translates in a different platform.

In Finland, motorcycle police got these bikes in 2020. Good luck running away from them If you dont have turbo Hayabusa or the actual H2.
They will not catch me
@@kaitokurahama7090 on your grom?
Yeah that is crazy that Suomi police have the H2 SX , you would need a bike like my KTM 690 Enduro to get away from them, because these bike will catch you on the highway no problem at all, but if you can escape in an offroad envoirement you will get away from them :)
Have a 2018 H2 SX SE, first owner. This model year does not have the electronic suspension adjustment of the SE +. Bike is stable at high speed without a steering damper. It handles wind well, head and cross, including the front blast zone when passing a semi. On the 2018 you have low, medium, high for power and 1, 2, 3 for traction control. I have toured cross country on this bike several times. Everything you need in my opinion. And having cruise control is quite nice. Packed 2 weeks of gear, still had about 150 miles per fuel up, even when riding hard. As we all know, it is about smiles per gallon. Definitely recommend an ECU flash to pull out the throttle jitters. On technical twisties you will feel the weight when flicking the bike, but if you are use to sport touring machines, not an issue. Around 564ish pounds wet. Definitely want to turn engine braking off, it is aggressive. Heated grips are on when green, level is being adjusted when flashing yellow, there are 3 power levels. I just skimmed the manual when I bought the bike. I did not find the menu confusing in my opinion. End of the day you will enjoy the bike.
Everything this guy says also applies to the 2019 I can tell you from experience. Especially the part about the ECU flash. Remove the rev limiter, limiter in specific gears and throttle valve limiter. It will unleash the beast + greatly improve your overall driving experience. Basically the stock configuration is crap.
Agree mate. A flash sorts out any fuelling issues. Down to the emission regs, as with any modern bike :)
What do you do for living
my dude wrote a whole essay
Hello sir!
Have you had any major issues / reliability issues with it?
Planning on buying a 2019.
I collect my new h2 sx in 4 days. Super excited 😄 🥳🥳
how is it going?
How you like it?
@@ryanhellman651 I love it.
Done 4k on it already.
Love the power 🔋 💪 😍
This is a serious all rounder that’s highly over looked. If I had the cash I’d totally buy one
If we had the cash we all gonna buy it lol
This is the ultimate premium bike. Glad I own one
How much you bought it?
I totally agree with you. It's a bike that I can use to commute, spirited riding on the weekends. I boightbmine for $16,000 + $1,200 for Extended Warranty for 4-year coverage, at a dealership. I'm glad I bought that extended warranty, because I had to replace my ECU, and O-ring from the engine, and that was about $1,500, which my extended warranty covered all of that.
@@Nceb that's an unbelievable price
It’s a great bike agree but I just felt it’s so leant forward and heavy, on the plus side it’s so easy to ride and especially at low speeds, but for me I just can’t ride a bike in that position mostly because my back hurts 😢
The crazy thing is how restricted this bike is compared to the H2 and ZH2. Like 30 less HP on a Dyno than the ZH2. But a tune turns it into a monster
yeh a tune puts like 70 hp on the fckn thing to the rear wheel..insanity.
Finally man finally, i was waiting for this first ride for long, i enjoyed it... Thank you for this first ride reviews...
I have been waiting for this thank you so much 😊
Thank you, Chase. Gonna have to check out those FlyingEyes bc my son can’t see anything over 10ft away and wants to ride trails. 👍👍
Chase, the H2 doesn’t have to “wait for traffic”
Great review on th H2, I've got mine coming this week... cant wait
The way HP and Torque was way-off that grid. That made me laugh 😂 haha
I ride the 2018 H2 SX SE... it just keeps pulling to 180
@@kevinrli1 mph? kmph? hahaha
@@renzsonalabata1563 MPH
Chase this is my hype video right now!!! Currently overseas, but am buying one the second i get back to the states!
I mean Chase how many riders literally learn all their controls on their bike while riding their bike I didn't do that on my bike and I sure other Riders don't do that either, I've always felt what you talk about controls the only ones you should be talking about is how intuitive the turn signals the lights from standard to high beam Etc and if they have like different engine mode, because anything more than that people are going to look at their owners manual and not fiddle with it while they're riding.
16:00 LMFAO, this edit made it seem that the Prius was passing Chase at 110mph+ 😂
Chase Bruhh, Those Cinematics shots and basically the whole video is a master piece
They're so on point and the cam is car shots are commercial grade quality
@@makatron Exactly
"Stilema hahaha oh wow, this sucks" funny af. Pure gold.
Many many thanks for an amazing test and we can say that the most comprehensive test is interesting on this motorcycle❤
Right, so first bike. Thanks🤙🏼
I've been so intrigued by this bike, thank you!
reading the manual is expected for vehicles with many functions. Sure you can wing it for the basic operations, but not for the deeper sections of the settings.
Incredible Hulk in bike form 🔥
It's nice to see some videos on TH-cam of my favorite motorcycle. I'm super excited to eventually have enough money to afford one of these bikes. The SXSE plus H2 motorcycle would be super cool to have, as it has many bells and whistles that would make it a pretty amazing touring sport bike. It can also go fast enough at top speed for drag racing, if desired. While it may not be the most preferred motorcycle for racing, it's still a sports bike and can reach a pretty fast top speed. I think I saw someone on TH-cam at one point tune it to go a top speed of 201 mph, so it definitely has some impressive speed. All in all, this will be a bike to enjoy.😁
A great review of a brilliant bike. There's nothing else that offers touring and sports capability as well as the H2 SX does. Get one remapped and 220+bhp is easy but completely manageable.
Just got my call today may 6 2022 mine is finally arrived at Charlotte motor sports in Charlotte NC can't wait to ride it
Team Green in d house and not a cloud in the Sky bro
OC: Should've called it the Kawasaki H2 SE XY🤣😆🤣
Totally into the H2 line just can't make up my mind between this and the Naked Z - Update Winner H2 SE-SX whata bike
I bought NInja 400 a month ago and I already know I'm going to get H2 once I'm ready.
Do it, do it, do it. Congrats on the 400. Dont be too quick to get rid of it, those are awesome bikes. I started on the 300 and still miss it. Currently riding a 2021 ninja 636
Bought a Z400, traded it in right about 2 months later lol. Don't get me wrong, it was a fantastic starter bike. Very vanilla, but very forgiving and easy. But not a whole lot of character though
@@maximus9401 I hear you. Where I live, you can take a 300 on the gokart track. Would be really fun in that context.
@@maximus9401 Stock you're totally right, snooze-fest. Put an exhaust, quick-turn throttle tube, and a +2-3 rear sprocket and it's night and day better / more interesting of a bike to ride.
You can get a h2. but you really have no idea how much power a 1000 has vs a little 400
bro the camry is sickkk
When you pass by those school buses, I picture to myself that the kids inside are the ones from that "Twist of the Wrist II" video 🤣
I was confident you were flying w/ that super charger and then a Honda Insight passed you 16:02… 🧐
5 minutes and yur finally on the road
Probably one of the best put together review of this bike. Quality video is superb on this awesome bike. Thanks
"I've ruined it. I've ruined myself"
Same bro 😭
Bike looking super! Definitely not a beginner bike! Oc
Just pulled up along that familiar green tube frame rider doing 95mph.
He quickly pulled away knowing a Honda 954 was not a problem
FEEL and feel and feel ,feel ,feel .
OC nice bike, would be my upgrade if i ever get rid of my Ninja 1000 abs.
I wish Kawi would come out with new version of Concours. One of the best bikes on the planet! This is a cool bike!!!
I wish you would do a first ride on the 2022 hyabusa.
For some reason not the biggest H2 fan... Maybe because I had a scarry experience on one once... But the naked and this one looks good. Still, I prefer the Kawis (ZX-10/ZX6 and 900 RS, though I own a Yammy R1M)
OC
KAWASAKI 🔥
Chase can't believe you didn't call this the Ninja H2 Sexy +
Reminds me of one of them plus sized models lol
i have a track ready vfr800 and a concours 14 for other rides. this seems like it's both and i want it XD
glad you now blank out the speedo!!!
i understand why kawasaki chose the longer version of this bike. if was the one who will shorten this, it'll be "Kawasaki H2 SE-X+"
You say "love the ability to never have to adjust your suspension, yet I hear that although dampening is automatically set on both ends, you still have to manually adjust preload in the front. Is that true?
The heated grip button, when it's green, that's when it's heating up.. If you left it green for like a minute you would have felt the heat in your palms.. Not sure why you kept pressing the button without waiting to see what each light indicator would do.. It's a heater, so it takes time to heat up man. Aside from that, great review. I love mine!
Awesome review 👍🏾
OC: I figured it would handle good but not as good as you said. I expected it to feel a bit heavier in the turns but I know they make great touring bikes and there must be a reason for it.
Yea I was surprised as well
The bike is top heavy but not heavy overall compared to a touring bike. Z1000 with a fairing and touring seat. Basic Ninja with electronics...and the super charger flattens the torque curve as in a straight line across mostly not a bending one from low to high...called a linear curve. Turbo F150 does the same thing.
15:52 must have been 150mph +
I would like to see this bike compared to the new busa.
So, is the Supercharger a bad thing combined with the Power band on a 998cc engine?
I got mine (2021) 3months/ 1500miles ago.
it is VERY SCARY fast.
I am now getting used to controlling it.
I haven't tried launch mode.
I like the quick shifter but I have started to "quick shift" my other 2 bikes at times....they dont have a quick shifter.😥
Definitely needa a different exhaust tho !!!!!!
Nah stock is great. Not everyone wants a sound bomber. Ninjas are supposed to be quick and stealthy.
With an ecu flash these bikes go up to around 220whp
Last year that the SX could be flashed for it's full 220+ horsepower. 2022-current has a different ECU and has still not been cracked. So FYI if you're considering buying an H2 SX and piping and flashing it into a 220+ horsepower monster do NOT buy a 2022-2024 because you will be stuck on stock power for an unforeseeable amount of time.
The h2sx se doesn't have e electronic suspension . The SE+ has semi electronic suspension , brembo brakes and Bluetooth connectivity over the h2SX SE
The H2SXSE+ has full electronic suspension.I have one.All settings are done in rider mode,using the rideology app you get way more adjustability than without that app.
Nice! I have the 2018 Ninja H2 SX SE, and it's such a fricken amazing bike! I call it my "SXSE" (sexy) bike. Love the bike! There's power/ torque/ speed even in 6th gear. I have to be keep an eye on the speedometer, otherwise it'll get you into triple digit speed.
The menu isn't that difficult to learn. Gotta read the manual, and it becomes second nature afterwards.
They named it like that on purpose!
I tried this bike and the Zh2 on Saturday and I have to be honest Yes it has a supercharger and yes it’s really fast ( they both are ) but I’m being totally honest here I personally don’t like the way it delivers the power with the supercharger, it’s fast but you don’t get a second to get comfortable with the increase in speed, it’s REALLY hard to explain but my Triumph Speed Triple was not as fast but the power delivery is just a better feeling I know that sounds crazy but it’s true, maybe it’s because I’ve never ridden a supercharged bike but for me it’s not a bike I would buy , but its still a fantastic bike 👍🏾
Reading the manual just feels like commonsense for a bike with a sweep of electronics and menus
Alright Kawasaki now we need a Concours H2 lol
As a Connie owner... I agree. Drop 100 pounds, add cruise control, and I'd be happy...
@@CBRboy1717 just buy this bike lol
@@1DS9 why? The Connie and H2 SX are 2 TOTALLY different applications. If I wanted a comfortable sportbike I’d buy the H2 SX… but that’s not what we want. 😂😂😂
@@CBRboy1717 thing was super comfortable when i test rode it. Feels alot more touring than sport in my opinion worth a ride if you wanna drop 100 lbs off your concours and have cruise control
@@1DS9 there still is a big difference between the two. The wife would take one look at the SX seat and wind protection and go “no effing way I’m touring multiple hours on that”. The Connie with its big fairing, power windscreen, and flatter seat keep things comfortable out back for her. My Connie also has 2 inch bar risers on the stock handlebars which stock are already much higher than the SX’s clipons. I’m not sure why a little less weight and simple cruise control system was a big ask?
The jerkyness is due to it being Euro 5 compliant which makes it super lean fuelling at low revs. It can be sorted by a power commander or flash. BTW Perhaps you should try pushing the button that has the large word BACK on it ;0
I believe the new BUSA has very smooth throttle, throughout the rev range, and is euro 5 compliant.....
I was not that impressed by the looks of this bike when it came out. I did not think it looked bad, just did not do anything for me. Wow it is really growing on me looks wise now. The front scoops and headlight are really cool and menacing looking.
I can't stand the appearance of it, I just hate how kawasaki was designed a fantastic bike and then made a touring version
The fact that it looks like a cyborg is the real deal. The 2022 bike is now real ugly.
@@Jambome Yeah, they made it look worse.
The system options can be a little confusing to begin with. It's a high tech bike. Nevertheless, after a quick read of the manual & learning how to use, it's all pretty easy. Maybe try doing that before you ride a bike? All due respect ;)
The roding portion past the ads and talking starts at 4:49 btw.
I've been watching this channel since before Chase crashed some other dudes Ducati lol
How tall is the test rider? The leg angle looks quite uncomfortable... is the bike still good for taller riders and for longer rides?
Your little diagrams are cool 😎 . Tho would note H2 does not make anywhere near the torque of the Rocket but your little vector diagram says otherwise. Appreciate this makes way more power. Looks ugly.. so hope they do a more retro cruiser H2 as hoped.. imagine H2 motor in a Z900RS body .. this or the Busa, tough choice? Keep bringing the great content 👍
h2 sx 100% vs hayabusa
Can you do a first ride with the CB650 R
If you actually planned on owning the biked you'd research the controls or read the manual. The controls are only an issue for 1 time riders
Hey Chase, Ruroc put up a thicker comfort liner set for the Atlas 3.0 helmets. Can you please test it? Want to see a review before I buy anything from Ruroc again. From the pictures I'd say this is what they should have launched the helmets with in the first place, but sure steal another 40 euros from me for that shit.
5:01 I believe that thing measures the “G” forces. How many “G’s” are forcing you backwards while on the throttle. And forward while on the brakes. These bikes are get to smart. I’m worried that all the tech might take the whole, rider and machine bond, away. I’m starting to miss the days where your bike never asked you if you were absolutely sure that you wanted to pull this wheelie or not. Or never stopped you from burning out or opening the throttle wide open. The only thing all this new tech does is make more younger riders over confident. It places training wheels on the bike and never come off. And that makes them unpredictable if they hop on any bike without. Where as someone who started off with bikes that where only limited by the riders abilities. I can see the up side to these bikes as well. If you aren’t expected. The tech on these bikes help a shiz ton on cost. If your newer to riding and your goal is to ride a super bike. You can buy one of these bikes and turn on all the restrictions. So it won’t allow you to flip the bike if you grab all the throttle and dump the clutch. It won’t even let you wheelie if that happened. It cuts the power by damn near half. And now they have radar cruise control!!! So you can buy one bike and be able to grow into it, so to speak. So you won’t have to buy a 250 or 600cc bike. And then later have to buy a bigger bike because you’ve outgrown the smaller bike.
That looks like an amazing bike. Way to much power for myself but as a motorcycle fan super dope to watch a bike that big haul ass like hyper sport. Horrible name but awesome bike especially for 25k and has a ton of features.
You know, I think there’s too much horsepower too, people keep thinking when they get on a. Kawasaki H2 bike they’ll just be dead. Then when they get on it, they talk about how manageable and good they feel. See Whitney on Yaminoob’s channel, she said she was terrified about climbing on the ZH2 for the first time, when rode it she said it was one of the best experiences she ever had.
@@chalkdemon8019 I only mean as a first or second bike. After a bit of experience I’d love to own it. I’d love to own after a year or 2 year of riding. I’m in my 30s so mainly getting a bike for commuting to work and touring around which this bike would be awesome just worried being relatively new to riding that it would be to much hp at the moment.
6:27 I do not agree at all. Many people also bought the much cheaper H2 SX standard version in black 2018 when they had that option. You still had the bags, some safety electronics, cruise control and that awesome supercharged engine but nothing other than that and the price was quite a lot cheaper.
If you did not want your bike in green, which many people do not want on their bike, and if you did not want the bike to almost ride itself with too much electronics, that H2 SX standard was perfect for the cheaper price.
I see that bike a lot on the used market and sometimes outside so I do not think it sold that bad, I think Kawasaki stopped selling it because they are greedy and want to sell the more expensive H2 SX SE because they want to sell as expensive bikes as possible =(
7:04 I do not think it is too far forward at all for a sport touring bike, I feel it is exactly how a SPORT touring bike should be , slightly canted forward, semi aggressive. So you still feel and ride sporty but in a comfortable way, it is the best riding position on a SPORT touring bike there is. Much rather travel like that than having all of the weight on your a$s and getting all the windblasts sitting straight up like you do on "sport" touring bikes like the S1000XR and Tracer 900 and so on =(
You still have to make the video of the zh2 se2021
OC: It was great to see your thoughts about the Kawasaki H2 sx se +. for me thought that the bike is a great Touring bike. i wanted to see your thoughts bout the bike and to see what the guys thought about it. thanks for checking the bike out. i a thinking on getting this bike, but i will have to save up to get it.
Which one do you like better? Hayabusa or h2sx?
The main problem with most of the fancy stuff like lean, throttle and boost meters is pretty useless. When you open this bike up aint no way you looking down to look at your boost level. After 8000rpm this bike glue your eyes on the road. Aint got no time to look at these things much.
This Yahoo!
Please try your hardest to test a zh2 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Can you please review a ninja 1000sx
Chase can you please review the Honda CB1000R? Honda’s 998cc Naked bike. I’d really appreciate you’re review on one. And there aren’t very many good reviews on it from Americans.
I recently rode a 2018 model!
Supercharged 😁
Should’ve done your homework before testing this bike!!
Controls are easy to figure out and as for the heated grips, they are three stage heating, hence the flashing 1 2 or 3 times then going green!!
I hear that the twitchyness is due to fuel mapping going lean off throttle to reduce emissions.
Make a review of r15M
Oh look it’s the ruroc guy LMFAO
lmao. more like ruroc r7 guy
Can you hit more redlights please.
Just been looking into these. Apparently Kawasaki massively limits the power output of this engine in this bike. I am seeing people getting them tuned and the nannies taken off and they are 230 to 240 at the wheel. Supposedly this is a conservative tune. So that means these things are capably of 260 or 270 hp at the crank. I really want one of these now.
Engine puts out 310bhp. You do a bit of tuning on this thing and you have a monster. There was a guy here on TH-cam and his was putting out 250 at the crank after a bit of work. But with increased HP, lower fuel economy.
remember h2 sx compression ratio are 11.2:1 compared to h2 8.3:1 be careful about the heat
@@boniedwin Yaa h2sxse is definitely not for race. It is a touring motorcycle. It would be stupid to mod it above 300whp.
It seriously looked like the ffwd button was pushed on the freeway.... I think I'd like that.
Bro the bike ia really killing ♥️♥️♥️♥️ .
Brother make a video on triumph tiger 900 rally version
OC: The Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE+ BY GOD PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO NAME THINGS ANYMORE. For over 25k it has all the electronics and features you'd want. But damn it's the worst at riding slow. Made for the highway and highway alone. Spending so much and for easily 70% to 80% of the time if you daily it you'd be riding a fast bike slow.
That’s with all litre bikes. Overkill.
Great bike...bro next tym just increase the frame rate of the cam to 60fps...its too laggy..just pointed out..otherwise great video as always..peace 😊
I just watched this on my 60 inch TV in 4k, and never had any issues with any part of the video being laggy
@@dennisclark9544 i am specifically talking abt the refresh rate...30fps doesnt cut it any more..1080p 60 is fyn...i am watching on a smartphone
I have SXSE+ too. If you more than 90kg you really shuold think two times. Yes very convinient, but the springs are way to soft. And Kawasaki absolutely refuse give any information about the suspension. Except the fact that + version have longer springs in front. To your friend think H2SXSE+ is to much, what about some of the Harleys?
OC 👍
How does it compare to a zx14r
Chase ima need you to go force yummi to post please WE MISS YUMMI
