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

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.

Riding performance
Well to say, she has a performance, power, torque much higher than expectation. it gives pleasure when riding on the road espically on highways. Gear shifting from 0 to 100 is awesome. thruttle noise melts the heart when it is above 100 kmph. Bike is worthy to ride and have one in a courtyard. Dream come with buying this muscle bike and riding on our detination.
