BREAKING: Updated Kawasaki Supercharged Motorcycles Are Here!

The Kawasaki Z H2 & Z H2 SE are loaded to the gills with electronics and rider aids, and get a new paintscheme

Kawasaki has launched its updated supernaked bikes, the Z H2 & Z H2 SE, for 2023.

Both the flagship Kawasaki street bikes look as aggressive as ever and come flaunting a sharp dual LED headlight setup. The muscular naked styling makes it look like a behemoth. It also gets a new metallic matte graphene steel gray shade.

Powering these beasts is a 998cc in-line four supercharged liquid-cooled engine making a whopping 200PS. With those numbers, the Kawasaki Z H2 is among the most powerful street bikes on sale in India and the only bikes in the segment to feature supercharging technology. 

In terms of electronics and rider aids, the Z H2 series comes packed with a host of features including: cruise control, quick shifter, electronically adjustable suspension, launch control, cornering traction control and ABS. All of these electronics aid in a better riding experience and absolute control of the beast.

The Z H2s are underpinned by a Trellis frame running an adjustable Showa SFF-BP USD fork and adjustable gas-charged monoshock suspension setup. Braking is handled via dual 320mm discs with Brembo M4.32 front brake callipers for Z H2 and more premium Brembo Stylema callipers on the Z H2 SE. 

While the 2023 Kawasaki Z H2 is priced at Rs 23,02,000, the 2023 Kawasaki ZH2 SE costs a whopping Rs 27,22,000 (ex-Showroom). It commands a premium of almost Rs 30,000 over the outgoing models. Both bikes are only built to order and require the customers to pay the full amount at the time of booking.  In terms of sheer performance, the Z H2 goes up against the likes of the BMW S 1000 R, Triumph Speed Triple 1200 and the Ducati Streetfighter V4.
