I bought a Kawasaki Z H2

[runnerhiker]

My XR is at the dealer right now getting a new fuel pump under warranty. I am looking forward to riding them back to back. But the seat of the pants right now says the H2 has the torque of the RS with the RPM's of the XR. Kawasaki has really hit it out of the park with this engine. And it is as smooth as my '04 K1200 RS, a bike I needed to look at the dash to see what gear the gearbox was in. This H2 is like that.

The weight of the H2 is 529 lbs, very similar to the RS and the XR. But it feels much lighter, it is very easy to flick back and forth. I am guessing it is the front end geometry. Anyway, I like it.

I am at 300 miles right now.
