Review In A Few
Pros
- The supercharger sounds great
Cons
- On the heavy side
What Is It?
The Kawasaki H2 SX is a top of the line sports touring bike powered by a liquid cooled 998 cc inline four cylinder engine, producing 197.3 bhp at 11,000 rpm and maximum torque at 9,500 rpm. Like the groundbreaking H2 the engine is supercharged and there's an additional 10 bhp with ram air.
Features include:
- Steel tubular frame and single sided swingarm
- Dual 320 mm discs up front with four piston calipers
- 250 mm disc at the rear with Nissin two piston caliper
- Cornering ABS
- Adjustable 43 mm upside down fork with 120 mm travel
- Remotely adjustable KYB rear shock with 139 mm travel
- Assist and slipper clutch
- 3-level traction control
- Cruise control
- 3 power modes: 100%, 75%, 50%
- LED lighting all round
- 6 speed gearbox with gear position indicator
Kawasaki based the H2 SX on the all out sports H2 but emphasised touring comfort with a less aggressive riding position (somewhere between the relaxed Z1000SX and sporty ZZR1400), taller screen, 2 litres more fuel capacity, increased torque lower down and much higher 195 kg maximum load from a new frame although it's 18 kg heavier.
The 17" wheels take a Bridgestone S21 120/70 tyre at the front and a 190/55 at the rear.
Accessories include a 15 mm lower seat, comfort seat, heated grips, centre stand and GIVI 28 litre clean-mount pannier system like the Z1000SX.
