    Brilliant as always Chris… I’ve got a 2019 H2SXSE, she’s been to the Pyrenees and the Picos, two up, fully luggage’d up and just gets the job done, no fuss, no complaints, just pure enjoyment. The engine in my view is a masterpiece and very addictive… I’ve had sports bikes, Busa’s etc and I can honestly say that this is such an exciting and capable motorcycle and really is such a rewarding bit of Kawasaki wizardry👌🏽👍🏽

      @@majordelays4909 Hello mate, to be honest, there’s no comparison! The 1000SX is a brilliant bike, but the H21000SX is amazing…
      I tried several one litre bikes to do the job I wanted to do, the moment I went up the road on the H2, that was it, order me one😉👍🏽
      I’ve had it nearly 5 years now and it still blows me away with its capabilities…

    Love mine, I finally figured out Sygic GPS on the integrated screen. The biggest win on this bike is sitting bolt upright on the boring sections with the adaptive cruise doing the pace for you. Yes its heavy but it works for you by steam rolling over all the bumps and letting the suspension flatten them rather than upset the bike it has so much mass that it stays stable. It allows me to travel hours away to the mountain roads and ride all day and then head for home like a billionaire on his private jet. I don't find it all that attractive its looks are growing on me due to its ability to make each ride a delight. Add self cancelling turn signals. Add simple knob or tool path to adjust headlight vertical aim without fuss and you address my issues.

      I have one and the weight is felt in the agility general of the bike because it will never be at the level of a pure sports bike. On the other hand, it offers incredible stability in curves. To do this, simply fit sports tires more than the original ones.

    For someone who was not into sports bikes, or track days, the H2 SX SE would be a blast. It really would do everything they wanted.
    I had a bike that was often quoted as being a bit boring. However I never found it boring and it blew my socks off. Just being on a bike is perfect for me. Even riding at 20mph down a high street, and it's still a perfect experience. (Like you said on your Kwak Z900 RS video, "Bikes are amazing".)
    Hence have never seen the attraction for sports bikes, since they are also less comfortable.

Honda is late in this game, don't know why. I hear that 24 GW will have it all. This bike looks so sleek and just right. I just don't know if I can go back to forward leaning again. The Goldwing got me spoiled heavily. I would buy the Kawa before the BMW RT.

    Iv'e had the H2 SXSE for over 5 years now bucking the trend of most bike owners and having completed all the major services myself think I understand my bike. I have completed up to 600 miles in 1 day on my bike here in the UK in Scotland not using dual carriageways or motorways and the very next day when getting on the bike it felt even better than the day before. Is it the bike for all occasions, yes. Is it the bike for everyone, no. I am hoping to take the bike up to 1,000 miles in a day but unlike the Iron butt group I avoid motorways so that will be an interesting ride. 10's of thousands of gear changes and braking will be needed and my bike and I will be tested properly.

    I think people are waking up to the limitations of the track bike on the street concept and hopefully that opens up the door to more sport tourers like this and the GSX1000-s and 1000sx. A sport tourer with a capitol S is what I've heard these called vs a capitol T like the FJR or Concourse. Those bike have a lot of function but they look like giant scooters to me. The few I mentioned look like proper sport bikes, with luggage.

    Would be nice to see in a comparison vid with the Yamaha FJR 1300.

    Wie kann er so heizen im Regen. Ich freu mich schon auf meine SX SE ... Hab meine 2023er Hayabusa als Anzahlung gegeben und pack noch 11k drauf ... hoffentlich ist sie das auch wert 🙂

    Is this the new ZZR1400 in a way? That’s an epic bike. Heated grips . Push button flashes once , setting one, flashes 2x setting 2 perhaps?

    The semi active shock can't be serviced unless it's an ohlins Chris, so when the damping has little effect in a few years, it's a new one💲💲💲

    Do you have any experience with a pillion and what it was like for the rider and the second passenger? Thanks, great video...
