                  My first love 😘
                  First of all - Looks , OMG it looks pretty good i felt love for this thing, riding this machine is my first time on a adventure trip to leh Ladakh, it felt like smooth buttery ride , with the amazing power on demand the engine revs very fast , some times it feels jerky during gear shifts. But considering that might be a issue on my unit , Overall it's an fantastic package 😁 do get an hands on experience of minimum 100km and you will fell the words ... Rest assured performance is top notch 👍🏻 😉💯

                  All in one beast.
                  Smooth on highways and city rides no heating issue. Beast on racing tracks a machine with all in one feature, best Japanese machine available in market with the best price range we can say . Value for money product I have clocked 13000kms on this beast, I have rode mumbai to goa and have done track sessions on buddh international circuits. It best for city rides. Best in litre class for the price range kawasaki is providing I would recommend to every professional riders, who have been riding since 5-6 years and have a good amount of experience to handle this beast. Its best for every money best for it. Beginner should avoid because it has a super crazy power

                  awesome Comfy and A Total Beast I am happy
                  I needed something powerful and stylish and in a good price and yeah I choose this beast and it is a total beast. It is not only a machine but a True Mate,A true thunder to be honest and I am happy to be an owner! Its awesome the seat position is good but for beginner riders who are not used to sports bikes can have a hard time for Atleast first two weeks but after that they gonna love it Best of luck to their wrists Absolutely I will recommend this bike for someone who is looking for a heavy sporty and flex worthy beast not only by looks but also raw power and yeah the four cylinder engine and this bike sitting position is also really good according to its sharp features to be honest and it is a bike for the Lovers!

                  I was using this bike
                  I was using this bike till I bought H2, this was good enough for me to commute around city. and going office to home. mileage is so so but it's an super bike so that's to be expected. Still it was an pleasant experience, that I am able to somewhat able to control the beast of a H2. Still I Loved every moment with ZX10r . If it's in your bought or your dream bike then go ahead and buy it. But if you don't have the budget then just buy an R3 or 300 that will be good enough for most common riders. Take care, peace out.
