Bennett's review

[Hillman]

On the Portuguese launch it devoured the Estoril circuit’s long straight in seconds, and was still accelerating at an indicated 175mph when I had to brake for the second-gear turn one. But on the previous day’s road ride it coped respectably well with everything from motorway to cobbled streets and hilly hairpins, feeling more like a ZZR all-rounder than the latest member of Kawasaki’s supercharged crazy gang.

Think of this SX as an almost-as-fast-and-crazy version of the outrageous Ninja H2, with better throttle response, the ability to carry a (brave) pillion and luggage, plus a more accessible price of £18,099 (£15,099 for the standard model), and this addition to Kawasaki’s H2 family makes plenty of sense.
