I second that

Yep absolutely stunning range of bikes.

100!

Thanks Luke!!

Where did you flash? Brock's Performance? How long was it when you flashed it? Any issues? My H2 SX SE PLUS is 2 months old and I'm still thinking if I should flash it and void the warranty or not? Any input would be much appreciated. :)

I too have a Don Ghule flash , full exhaust and sprint air filter and it for sure changes the character of the bike. Waaaay smoother and no more jerky throttle 👍

I fired brand new today.2020.SX SE. Haven't rode it yet.

You had the ecu recall done? Apparently it wipes the reflash and puts it back to original spec!

What's the difference between Plus and your bike?

SE+ has KECS front, BFRC lite for the rear suspension system . sweet!

How is this bike when you are in town? I mean Im driving a gtr1400 (concors14) and I hate it whenever I have to be in traffick because it gets quickly heated up and starts the fans to cool the engine.

Haha did I Geoff? Nice little extra for you then 😆

@@LambChopRides Yes mate! Awesome bike. Love your review of it. I proudly proclaim that my new bike was ridden by the mighty Lamb Chop!! ;)

😩

Absolutely. A Hayabusa would be slightly better with less electronics though 😊

SJ Corona literally different types of bikes?

I have this bike for 2 months now...go for it...you will not regret it!!

@@PSCadu congrats on the bike nice bit of kit. At the moment will have to wait to buy one 😣 have to be a responsible adult every now and then. But in a year or two🤞

I can only assume your referring to the Lockheed SR-71. There are so few people who have actually flown one of these when they were in service and even fewer now that they are not in service. I have to say my BS meter is twitching... you may be able to tip the scales in your favor by going into detail about what they use to keep the tires from going flat and in relation to this question once the U2 was shot down over Ussr in 1960... how did our government explain not still flying spy missions despite the unique substance periodically going low which these planes need for the wheels. (part of the U2 pilot being released from captivity was that we would quit spying and of course we said "why shure thing!" but you know that was BS and we just did it more sneaky). I doubt you can find this on google so if you are faking busted, but a pilot who flew one of these will know! I do because my relative worked on the U2 supplies back in the 1960's. They all are alike when it comes to what they use for the tires. Not saying if you know you are for real but a lot more believable.

@@evilstalkerhorne uh? Honda blackbird. With just air in tyres. 🤔

evilstalkerhorne lmfao what a moron!

Hoping to see more affordable bikes like this in the future again

So Matt, did you buy one?... I’ve had my SE for 18 months now, brilliant bit of kit. I chose to have all the toys including the Akro can. She’s a beastie, been all over northern Spain two up, absolute cracking bit of Kawasaki wizardry

@@The.Toaster It offers more comfort than the Haybusa, more praticality, it's in another league on the twisties compared to the Haybusa

@@The.ToasterHave friends with Hayabusas, so have been able to ride it a few times, including a full day of ride that included highway as well as mountain sections, so would say I'm at ease to compare them....would point out that on highway stability Haybusa is the king.

Thanks Adam

No complacement for displacement hey 😁

@@K-carbon Something like that. I mean I know they've detuned these to @170rwhp from the H2/R (which specifies conrod and exhaust valve changes at 60 hours over 8000 rpm), but apparently that can be increased to @220 (and back again) with nothing more than an ECU flash. I'll be interested in whether we will see these getting around with over 100,000 kms in a few years, as you do with the ZX-14Rs.

@Joric78 I have a Versys 1000 with 78k km on it. Bought it brand new 3 years ago and a friend of mine bought the same bike at the same time but only has less 10k k. on his. I've tried his recently and mine runs better. Obviously it's not the same 1000 cc engine as the one on the H2 but 100k should be nothing for these modern engines.

@@petertakov Well I assume the engine's are good in stock trim if the maintenance schedule is adhered to. I'm sure Kawasaki has tested them for endurance. I doubt the increase in compression ratio and new pistons would decrease service life when the engine was originally designed for considerably more power. It's more about whether they'll still be reliable if you flash the ECU for an easy extra 50+ hp. People seem to assume that the top end power was tuned down for emissions, noise or fuel economy, but seem to ignore the durability question. I guess my concerns come down to whether H2 SX engines are relatively "overbuilt" and understressed in the same way as ZX-14Rs or Hayabusas? There's not many production forced induction vehicles where you can just flash the ECU (or wind up the boost) for an extra 30% power without an impact on reliability.

I actually just traded in my 2014 ZX14R on a brand new H2 SX SE. Stock it's obviously not as fast as my 14R was but mine was modified with full exhaust, ECU flash and a BMC air filter. Dynoed tuned to 202whp. My H2 will be faster than old bike when im done though as supercharger adds a whole new level of power to be gained. I will tell you the SE is the way to go as you get way more shit vs base SX but this bike checks off every gripe I had about my 14. I'm a tall guy and the riding position is a bit more neutral than 14 and about 2 more inches of legroom than my 14 had. Cruise control, Bosch 6 axis ABS system. This bike is a work of art and electronically superior than the 14 was by far. So far I have 260 miles total on the H2 SX SE. Quickshifter is also badass as I've never had a bike that was equipped with one till now. 14 has more bite out of the hole and more torque. The supercharger really comes on around 7k though and feels like it will give the 14 a run from a roll. Unless kawi updates the 14R with similar electronics I'll stick with the H2s from now on.

As it happens I have one here!! so follow me on Instagram and will get a pic up tomorrow 👍

Thanks Richard

Thanks Griz!!

Thanks very much Damien welcome to the channel 👍

hairless biker my very bike - unless u want the absolute latest tech, the old ZZR is just as fast and powerful and several grand cheaper 👍

@@nivotron960 yeah thats my performance sport in pic 👍ive tried the h2sx and couldn't wait to get bike on mine.cruise control would be nice😉

hairless biker u should look into after market cruise control like chops

@@nivotron960 ​ J Niv Agreed the ZZR is a fuckin powerful and mega quick piece of kit. Having said that it's nowhere near as versatile as the H2 SX SE PLUS. Take both bikes to a twisty road and you'll realise how far apart they both are...if you can test the H2 SX SE PLUS you will easily realize this. Also the electronics on the H2SX SE PLUS are just amazing...they sort the bike in such a fashion that the bike feels always composed and balanced...I wasn't a fan of electronic semi-active/active suspensions but...I have been converted...the future is here and what a future it is!

Subs ride eh Richy 😁😁👍

I didn't even know a "Plus" was coming... Interesting.

It's a lone bike, a demonstrator. How would he be entitled to make those mods?

Thanks matey your trip sounds incredible! Jacket is a OGIO Flight Vest there is a link in description 👍

Genuine Comments don’t get a Liter bike

haha :-)

Thanks Tim

well, he also keeps calling it 'haitch' for some reason ;)

Coming soon the GT review

Good to hear!

throttle by wire needed.

I think they will probably fit it for 2020 too, I’m just about to trade my Z1000SX for a H2 SX, I rode one at weekend and you are not always hunting for extra gears on the motorway on the H2 like you are on the Z

@@markb4772 Consider the Aprilia Tuono 1100. Considering everything , for me, is the best on the segment, you lose some wind protection though..

Never tried the Diavel but on my list!

oh yes, bring me your bikes I will break them in for ya, well break them anyway :-)

@@justdad53 yes Jerry I've seen Jesus many times on that bike. She had 34 mm mikuni,Denco Chambers,Stage 2 ported&polish. It was a hand grenade. Now at 54 thinking about getting this H2 SX,I would get regular H2,but paying $800. Insurance monthly is insane. The insurance company classify the SX touring at $130. monthly. Cheers brother from Ontario Canada.

Yes we have spoken about it Steve . It's a good idea!
