Kawasaki Touring Bike reviews

If you have never ridden a super-charged motorcycle before, doing so will forever change your perspective. Above around 4000 RPM, twisting the throttle will instantaneously transform you into a precision cruise missile. It is an incredible feeling to ride a bike without any engine fade or acceleration lag. And the supercharger "chirping" as it internally goes supersonic is a total kick. This is what makes sport riding truly fun! The H2 SX is often marketed as a "super sport touring" bike. The handle bar height finds a nice comfortable balance position between a typical Ninja rocket sled and a regular street machine; just the right amount of forward lean for a sport/touring motorcycle with such performance specs.

Submitted a finance application to purchase a vehicle online the application was never looked at or ran and they sold the vehicle which I showed interest in the next day bad business I’m truly disappointed I would think if I submitted my application before anyone else why would they sell it without giving me the chance to purchase and I was there first Show less

This is by far the best motorcycle I have ever had the pleasure of owning. If you enjoy sportbikes and also enjoy riding occasional long distances, this bike is for you. If you are an older gentleman who enjoys a comfy seat with a plush ride, this is for you. If you are a kid, this bike is not for you. This 2019 Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE is an engineering feat to behold. The supercharged engine combined with a beautifully assisted quick shifter and a great working electronic cruise control creates an amazing experience. The electronic suspension on the model is 100% worth the extra money. You can change any setting while ridding on the beautiful full color LCD display or in the Rideology app on your phone and send the settings to your bike. The throttle response is nothing short of sublime, and when you understand how important the supercharger is in the linear power delivery, you understand that you want this engine in every other bike. It's that good, so good in fact that I would take this bike over more expensive and higher end bikes brands you'd expect (Ducati, MV Agusta, Moto Guzzi, Aprilia, Norton, HD, BMW, whatever...). The icing on the cake is the color scheme for the 2019 SX SE model. The mostly grey and black with subtle green here and there makes for a well put together color scheme; I enjoy the 2019 colors more than the 2020 and up mostly green colors. And the model has self healing paint. C'mon! :) Show less

I cannot believe the reviews on this piece of Junk. They are obviously paid reviews. Performance is Pathetic. The Fairing is non aerodynamic. Wind noise from the fairing requires Ear Plugs. The head wind requires more power than the Bike has. Gas mileage is worse than an automobile 160 miles on a tank. Brakes grab and are noisy. Seat is a torture device. No response from 2000 rpm in 6th gear, engine just bogs down. Can't imagine two people on this bike. One needs to get off and push. The wind pushes this bike all over the road its so non aerodynamic. You need both lanes on a windy day. The vibration will put your hands to sleep if you can get it above 70 MPH. Kawasaki you Should be Ashamed. Show less

Literally the best thing since sliced bread . So long as you are 5'9" or taller If your not forget this bike and get a vespa . This is a fast heavy motorcycle which rewards the rider with smooth comfortable ride for days. It will never break down > This is my third concours 1987 , 1995 and 2010 . With my last breath I will praise this motorcycle . Show less

I owned an 1989 Voyager 1200. It was a fantastic bike, you could set the cruise control at 80 MPH and listen to the radio. It was comfortable and quite quick. Mine was totaled when I was hit from behind by an Accord. The bulk of the bike saved me from any serious damage. I paid $10,500 new. It was a bargain then and is still a bargain. Show less

I bought this motorcycle to commute 180 miles a day. At first I thought I would have to upgrade the windshield and raise the handle bars, but after three hours a day for three weeks, I love the way this bike is set up. Yesterday we had some crazy storms where there were 50mph wind gusts and rain the whole way to work and back. The Concours was so well behaved. The heated grips are amazing. I love the tire pressure monitors. The wind protection is perfect. For most rain, you dont even have to wear rain pants. The fairing provides protection for your feet and legs even through large puddles. The fuel mileage is great, albeit, the tank should have more fuel capacity. I have to watch the throttle hand to make the trip all in one tank. Also, for a not so utilitarian comment, the bike is fast. I mean legitimately fast. The bike does a great job in helping you go fast under control. The linked brakes are great and work well with the ABS as I found out hard braking from 90mph to 30mph on I95. After spending some 40 hours on the bike so far, I'd like to remove the power reductions in the high RPM's and low RPM's. The throttle is a little jerky from on to off as well. It took some time to learn how to shift smoothly. From what I hear, all this can be remedied by an ECU flash. Over all, a beautiful, fast, comfortable, capable bike. Show less

Bought this bike for my son as a beginning rider, but I ended up riding it once in a while. Loads of fun. It's light and quick - very torquey at the low-end and in the mid-range, and no problems on the highway, with well over 100mph top speed. The parallel twin makes a nice growling sound for a 300cc, and there is no need to add a different exhaust, unless you want to pull some weight off the bike. The 2014 version had a few nice upgrades, including an assist slipper clutch, redesigned seat, and nice digital display. This 300 is easily mistaken for a midweight sportbike, with its muscular fairing, aggressive lines and full-size frame. Make no mistake - its a real motorcycle that will thrill! Show less

riding it 3 years put 10 k on bike. I would take this motorcycle down any paved road and not worry about this motorcycle letting me down. It has upgraded corbin seat so i cant comment on stock seat and according to riders the passenger seat accommodates but leg stretches needed after an hour. . I upgraded air filter to k/n and the process to clean air filter ,change oil filter and oil is easy enough but will require about an hour the first time about half that next changes.( the k/n will reduce HP slightly) I rode 715 miles on 1500 mile trek in one day its not a luxury cruiser its a land rocket but I survived. I changed the brake pads ,battery, iridium plugs, installed new chain at 18k .I do not think this bike will need anything but tires and oil changes as time go by. The C4 motor will need cam shims eventually at which time valve cover and figure 8 plug gaskets will be replaced. I am not worried that it may be slightly over maintenance suggestion at 24 k. The steer tube bearings feel tight to me also so it aint broke. The handle bars have 2 inch risers which helps with tour comfort. It will go through two front tires before the rear. Its heavy and tends to push in tight turns which accounts for front tire mileage. I am 6'1 over 200 lb in good physical shape. I think one needs to be in this category to be a good fit on this bike , its big , its fast (I have document from State of Georgia to certify that) and the faster goes the faster it wants to go with ram air it intoxicates . Last of the carb super bikes. If you are a super bike person with little or no time and money for upkeep of exotic high horsepower this ZZR 1200 may be your choice. I tend to appreciate it more as time goes by but plan to retire it because of my age (67) within the next decade. Do I really need to go this fast at this age > yes I do.
