Check the spec sheet — a 998cc inline-four with Kawasaki's own supercharger putting out 197 hp at 10,500 rpm. Compared to the old model, the numbers have jumped so much it's honestly the best part. And 101 lb-ft at 8,500 rpm? Just picturing it gets my heart rate up.

Never thought a supercharged naked would become this normal a choice - kinda emotional as an old Z1000 rider.

21,999 bucks plus 840 shipping on top... wonder what it'll actually cost in Japan.

Kinda out of reach for a beginner's budget but man do I want one.

Getting mentioned in the same breath as Ducati, BMW, and Aprilia - Japan finally caught up.

101 lb-ft is like 137Nm - that's absurd torque for an inline-4.

998cc supercharged inline-4 pumping out 197hp? That's basically cheating, Z H2 SE is nuts.

197hp sounds great but it's 241kg, so the power-to-weight isn't actually that insane.
