Do you like happy little supercharger noises? If you're Kawasaki, then I would posit that you're the Bob Ross of happy little superchargers.

Let's put one here, and here, and especially here.

There, see how much better this happy little side-by-side is with a supercharged H2 engine inside? And then, let's make it even happier by giving you the option between a two door and a four door version! Choices for everyone, because more choices = more better, right?

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, and you're unfamiliar with the sheer delight a happy little supercharger chirp can give you, then I highly suggest that you watch this video. If you've already read my long-form review of the Kawasaki Teryx H2, then I thank you, but I would still suggest that you watch it.

Why? Because you'll get to hear those happy little supercharger chirps in action for yourself. And even if you have a fantastic imagination, I guarantee you that hearing it make its happy noises is even better than what you're dreaming right now. You'll have an even better time if you have a good set of headphones that you like; that's really the best way to hear it, not just through a smartphone speaker in a crowded waiting room or in line at the store.

What do you think?

The video is under 10 minutes, but it should give you a little more insight into the driving experience than you may have had before. Also, if you're the kind of person who's ever thought to yourself, "the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX is cool and all, but I really wish there was a four-wheel, off-road version," then you're exactly who Kawasaki's engineers were aiming to reach with the Teryx H2.

It's not just the powerplant; it's also the incredibly capable combination of suspension and tires that make the Teryx H2 a whole lot of fun, in a way that's more accessible than you might think. If you're not afraid to get dirty, I highly recommend giving one of these a try if you have the chance. Who knows? You might even find yourself falling in love with that magical sound, nevermind the feel of controlling all that power out in the wild.
