H2's added composure when banked
over hard on its side is something to
be thankful for. The electronic Showa's
have also taken out much of the harsh-
ness we encountered last year when
hitting hard-edged bumps like pot-
holes and rough roads, the kind of hits
that unsettle a chassis and send you
flying off the road if you're not careful.
The Skyhook/KECS work hand in
hand with myriad other systems to help
keep everything under control (big
deep breath) KECS Linked Integrated
Riding Modes, Kawasaki Cornering
Management Function (KCMF), three
Power Modes, Kawasaki Traction Con-
trol (KTRC), Kawasaki Launch Control
Mode (KLCM), Kawasaki Engine Brake
Control (KEBC), Kawasaki Intelligent
anti-lock Brake System (KIBS), Kawa-
saki Quick Shifter (KQS) (upshift and
downshift), Electronic Cruise Control.
When you get lost in the huge
amount of electronics at your disposal
it's easy to forget you've got the most
bonkers production motor beneath
your legs rattling away. Make no
mistake, the Kawasaki Z H2's super-
Rennie watches
as his license
drifts away into
the distance.
