Underpinned on a Trellis frame, the top-spec Kawasaki Z H2 SE also benefits from the electronically adjustable Skyhook Showa USD fork (a semi-active electronic suspension system) and adjustable gas-charged monoshock suspension setup. Anchoring duties are taken care of by dual 320mm discs with Brembo M4.32 front brake callipers for Z H2 and more premium Brembo Stylema callipers on the Z H2 SE.
At the heart of these monsters is a 998cc liquid-cooled inline-four cylinder engine, churning out 200PS of max power and 137Nm of peak twisting force. It comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox with an assist & slipper clutch.
In the Indian market, the Kawasaki Z H2 rivals the likes of the Triumph Speed Triple 1200, BMW S 1000 R, and the Ducati Streetfighter V4.
