Had a guy during COVID attempt to drive over my GL1800 (Big Pick-ups' that people can't see over the hood when parked) while waiting and visiting the bike during repairs my wife feel in love with a Honda PCX 150 - I drove that thang' everywhere and realized that I needed the exact bike yer speaking ove - I wanted the ZH2 SE but found an H2 SE-SX and fell in love. Ya can't go wrong with the BMW either thou'
Kawasaki makes a great bike. Since I purchased my M1000R the 2023 ZH2 SE has been marked down even more. If that was the price a few months ago, I guarantee that would have been in my driveway. Ride safe!
@@craighanesworth So True- I way overpaid fer my 22' H2 but had ta' have it- The BMW will hold it's value way better my friend but that's not what we're about- I've found the Hyper bike's to be akin' to time travel as the supercharger is Demonic at times- I do plan on snagging the last of the ZRX14's before they get discontinued as the extra weight keeps it planted so much better than my H2' - but the suspension and radar cruise control are a Godsend
I own a 2020 Goldwing, bought new.. Like yourself, I wanted a 2nd bike that was lighter, could be used locally, with the ability for shorter trips. I ended up buying a 2022 BMW R1250RS. It has the BMW panniers. At 536 lbs it weighs 300 lbs less the the Goldwing. Fast, and nimble and fun.
Gorgeous BMW 1kR Craig. BMW knows a thing or two about fit, finish & styling. Whether Cars or Motorcycles. They’ve already established themselves with performance. Is that the new Shoei Neotec 3? I like it.
The BMW was a good choice, probably the best looking. No mention of the Honda Fireblade, but the BMW is different looking over the traditional sport bike 👍
I like the Super Duke. However, I don't like that they charge extra for the "technology package." Also, if I was going to the Super Duke I would wait until the 1390 hits the USA. Thanks for watching!
This is getting expensive! Just when I thought I was done with Sports Naked Motorcycles here i am watching and reminiscing. Guess i'll have to settle for riding vicariously thru you.
You have a nice stable of horses from which to choose now . Wondering ,do you get a multi bike break on insurance ?
Thanks Terry. I do get a discount for multiple bikes. However, the M1000R is significantly more expensive to ensure than the other bikes
My problem with powerful bikes is I want to use the power too much. Its a beautiful rig Craig..
It is very tempting Wayne! Especially when you are in 2nd gear and you are at 80mph before you know it!
@@craighanesworth thats why I got rid of my Concours
I buy the new Superduke 1390R, so smooth and powerful 🤩
I was looking to see if they have arrived in the USA yet, but I don't know anyone that has one

Thanks. No it's the Neotec 2. They are on sale now since they came out with the 3
@@craighanesworth
You’re right. Thanks!
the m1000r is still very behaved and nice compared to the streetfighter v4s, that thing is a beast on a murderous rampage high on crack and speed

Why no Super Duke?
