Kawasaki ZH2 Silhouette Revealed
T
he drip-feed of videos from Kawasaki on the
upcoming ZH2 has reached a crescendo
with the third installment in the series, this one
showing us the shape of the bike, and the name.
We long assumed this was going to be a na-
ked bike, and now we know. The ZH2 will thus
be the fourth machine in Kawasaki's "hypers-
port" series behind the base H2, race-spec H2
R and the H2 SX. No word yet on if it will run
the 900cc motor from the Z900, or if we'll see
the donor motor come from the 1000cc Ninja
1000SX. We'll find out October 23… CN

Anderson
To Sit Out
Monster
Energy Cup
J
ason Anderson says he's
going to sit out this week-
end's Monster Energy Cup in
Las Vegas (October 19). Hav-
ing recently spent many days in
Europe focusing on the Moto-
cross of Nations and prepping for
last weekend's Red Bull Straight
Rhythm, Anderson says he needs
a break.
The Rockstar Energy Husqvar-
na Team rider posted on Insta-
gram: …Everyone knows that
after the last Outdoor National
Zach and I went to Europe for
a month to train for the MXON
and our Country. My plan was
to come back and do the Red
Bull Straight Rhythm first. Truth
is after only two days on the
bike after riding in deep sand
for a month I just didn't feel
comfortable and choose to
not race. I apologize to all my
fans who showed up to see me
ride but switching to a 2-stroke
after riding a 4-stroke is harder
than what you think it might be.
Because I've been going wide
open and not having much time
to prepare, not to mention I
haven't had any off-season pre-
paring for all these events, the
team and I feel it is in my best
interest that I not race the Mon-
ster Cup. I wish I could have
been able to race and apologize
to all my fans who were hoping
to see me race at these events.
Right now I need to let my body
rest and get ready for the long
season we have coming up for
SX and MX. Want to thank my
team and my mechanic C-Low
for all the support and hard
work they put in all the time. CN
