as Storm said, if the plan is to buy this one kit lens, that is a bad plan. I'd just stay with the G7XII.
The m6II sings with the right m mount lenses
Shoot MAC. You know the M6ii can sing with ANY lens I put on it. Even the lowly 15-45.
In fact, here’s the kit lens on the much maligned (for its AF) M5! And this wasn’t even my “good” copy…
M5 + EF-M 15-45 kit lens. Mountain bikers off an 8 foot drop, and moving much faster than I would ever care to!

Crazy!
(the OP's use case), the 15-45mm kit lens kills many of the advantages of the M6 II.
Cropping only exasperates the situation.
The 15-45mm shouldn't be your the only lens ror an M6ii.
Unless you're offering to buy the OP an extra lens, their plan is to just start with a kit lens.
That's a bad plan. In that case the OP shouldn't get the M6ii at all.
I'd agree with you Storm.
Starting with only the 15-45mm certainly would not be my choice. I think I would rather just buy the bare body and drill a hole in the body cap to make a pinhole lens.
Me, I’ll continue to use the 15-45 wherever a 24-70 equiv is appropriate. And love it.
Sing on baby!

Some lenses the longer I own them the more I like them.
The 15-45mm is not one of those lenses !
We need a tips and tricks thread for learning how to use a 15-45mm ?
It is not so easy. Too much to keep in mind about the built in faults like how far each FL needs to be stopped down depending on distance to subject ? A good one can deliver nice photos. Don't want to get them by accident though.
I am thinking you R2, could photograph bicycles with almost any lens.
