In order to meet this requirement, Kawasaki has poached a lot in the construction kit of the well-known H2 compressor models. The heart of the Z H2 is of course the 998 cm³ inline four-cylinder with supercharging. The power is given by the Greens with 200 hp at 11,000 tours. This means that the Z H2 is on par with the Ninja H2 sports touring version. The maximum torque is 137 Nm at 8,500 rpm.

Radially attached Brembo M4 calipers act on the front 290 double disc brake system. The further lines with the aggressively styled double front headlights and the high, slim rear end follow the Sugomi design, like the Z900. The intake air duct on the left to the compressor, which is kept red, is striking. The powerful rear silencer on the right-hand side is dominant. Standard are the 17-inch cast rims with a 120/70 tire at the front and a 190/55 roller at the rear. The suspension travel is 120 and 134 mm, the tank holds 19 liters, the seat height is specified as 830 mm.
