The Z H2 is Kawasaki's naked flagship from the Z range, built around a 998 cc inline-four with a supercharger. The supercharger is its defining feature and sets it apart from the standard naked bikes in the line. The chassis uses a lightweight trellis frame, Showa suspension and Brembo monobloc front brakes, with traction control, ABS, launch control, a quickshifter and cruise control among its electronics.
