I've owned my Kawasaki Ninja H2 for 4 years now and I'm thinking of maybe selling it and buying something new and shinny.. What would you do?

There will never be another Kawasaki H2. You are in the lucky position to get press bikes, ride them long term without spending your own money by informing us what's good and great. If you sell the H2 you'll probably never get to ride one again and I truly believe they will keep gaining value.

[@stevebidmead5655]

What he said 👏

[@pcarts232]

It’s easy to get carried away with new products especially bikes but every now and then something special comes along and it’s worth keeping and like you say there won’t be another H2 ….

[@miketaber6300]

I'd keep it. You get to try lots of bikes and they'll always keep coming. You won't find another H2. Hang on to it, even if you only ride it a few times a year, you'll smile the whole time!

[@MuscleBandit]

Don't sell it Chopsy, many out there like me can't afford one but would love one so getting to see you tear around Sussex and Hampshire (like I do on my gen1 Bandit) is as close as we will ever get to the real experience. You have your other machines for their intended purposes so if you can afford to keep it you should mate. Enjoy and keep more H2 vids coming!!!!

[@matthewlake4913]

I always assumed you would be buried with the H2 but if you're constantly worried about dropping it or putting excess miles on it, maybe it is time to move on. A pikes peak or M1000R would create lots of new content for the channel.

[@edboyce8678]

I would personally hold onto it, even if you only ride it twice a summer. Could you shift another bike or two to make space for the Multi or Diavel? Either way, I’d hold on

[@arcticcraic]

I think it comes down to how your channel works financially. If you were a typical bike owner, then it’s a no brainer, keep it. But you have made fantastic content with the H2, and maybe there isn’t anything left to do with it. You could sell it and reinvest in something like a multistada, and start a new journey of mods etc. so although it would be depreciating, it might be earning you money through views on the channel. This all depends on what you get from KZbin, which I don’t know.

[@nomdeploom5707]

I agree with everything you're saying here but it's such an iconic bike, it just sitting in the garage during all the talking head content etc complements the channel. All those other bikes, while fantastic, don't have anywhere near that same wow factor. You'd need something crazy like a Desmodesici to outdo it & even then it's close.

I think only you can make the decision dude.. if it were me and KZbin was my job then I would sell it and pick up something which would add add more content and views, subs etc. don’t get me wrong this bike is a beauty 😊 and will only prob go up to a point, but will you ride it and if you pick up something else your not as worried you’ll prob ride more 👍👍 just my opinion

[@timmo3351]

Nice to see someone riding on YT like most of us do! Guess its tricky to not incriminate yourself but those overtakes were fantastic to behold 👍🏻

[@MatNewtonTrio]

I absolutely love that bike and all the mods only add to the exclusivity. It’s way too much for the road but so is every hypercar. The value will certainly go up, it’s a very safe bet. I know that feeling but I’d keep it, it’s a special thing!

[@Paul-cf9op]

Keep it Chopsy 100%. You said it yourself it’s your dream bike and it’s your savings. Keep it as a show piece and ride it when you like. Same as the cossy it’s only going up, I’ve got a Mk2 escort and that’s gone stupid money only paid £350 for it. I’ll never sell it though it’s not about the money it’s the smile it puts on my face when I drive it. Good luck in your decision mate and safe riding 👍.

[@christophermcardle2906]

Appreciate your frankness Choppsey, always a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@LambChopRides]

Much appreciated 😁👍

[@jonnytheboy23]

Deffo keep it. There are quicker bikes around a circuit and better handling bikes but the H2 is really special and in my opinion will continue to increase in value, a modern day 750 Turbo if you will.

[@MGman100]

There is no doubt in my mind that this bike is a keeper. The other bikes will go down in value, this will only go up. Besides, what a cracking rare bike!

[@TheGorillaBiker]

I think it will keep appreciating, I'd definitely keep it just because....well....look at it!! Unless you're really just not enjoying it as much anymore, and worry about it etc. Then sell it and move on to something new :)

[@cp4512]

You don’t seem to use it much, and fresh content on new bikes is good for the channel. I’d sell it. But if you just want a garage queen as an investment then keep it.

[@MotojRides]

great vid bud glad you sorted the bike out i keep hold off it as like you was saying they will just keep going up in money i bet everyone at loomies was all over the bike chatting away about it

[@-KingDadBod-]

Keep it! It'll be a collectors piece and gain value in times to come! Special sports bike, and it will be unique in that category forever.

[@deanharris9331]

Lovely machine Chops. There are so many nice bike's out there now.....and selling the H2 wouldn't be a decision i would like to make mate. But whatever you decide to do you know that you're going to end up with a great machine. 👍😊

[@lukewatson4995]

Keep hold of it Chopsy. You've worked hard to own it so just enjoy it, even if it's just by polishing it in the garage 😅. I don't believe it would lose any value now, it's a very special thing!

[@LickyDischarge]

Variety is the spice of life. Having said that, I’d keep it if I were you.

[@Mt09_katie]

Got mine a few months back, as far as I’m aware there’s only 3 in Ireland including my own, I’ve ridden sports bikes before and as much as I loved them I hated how uncomfortable they were, so with the ninja I was like it’s probably gonna be the same but I’m shocked at how comfy it is I’ve take it on 3+ Hr spins and no bothers looking at getting a few mods done for it and I’ll probably hang onto it for another good while what an absolute beauty of a bike 👌 love seeing your vids esp the h2 ones 😂

[@stuartspratley1418]

looks like a ride to Loomies ;-) I'm a believer bikes are for riding (when working) not hoarding, if you hold onto it with the thought of selling later it will subconsciously restrict the mileage you do on it so not to be detrimental to the resale value...variety with bikes is the most fun anyway. Use it or sell it is my two pennies worth...

[@Millga]

Chopsy, I say sell it and try something new, for me life’s all about experiences, I chop and change quite often and plan to all the time I’m in a situation where I’m lucky enough to be able to. You’ve had the H2 experience, move on and try something new!

[@urbanadventurer5]

There’s only so many unique and interesting bikes out there. This is one of the more intriguing sport bikes on the market right now in my opinion. I would only sell it if there is something out there that’s a dream bike.

[@Bazfrog]

Unfortunately "Dream Bikes" are not "Dream Bikes" when you actually own them. They, generally, seem to become the bike that you don't think you should ever sell until you need funds to buy your "Dream Bike". Then, it seems that, even if you are lucky enough to be able afford to buy all your "Dream Bikes" then you don't have time to ride them all, so now they become "Investments", so you want to keep the mileage low and then you have to decide whether to cash in on your "investment", in order to buy your "Dream Bike"? Oh!, just a minute, have I just "long windedly" described motorcycle ownership? 🤔🤨🤯😁 As an afterthought, will there ever be an "Electric" "Dream Bike", surely not? 🤣😂

[@Lar308]

I wrote the below comment without watching the whole video - now that I have your investment angle was stronger than I had expected. Its not a very good reason to own any motorbike or classic car for that matter. I have 6 motorbikes and 10 classic cars and I could not give a hoot about the investment angle. I bought them because I liked them and enjoy owning them. To me what they sell for is irrelevant since somebody else will be doing that after I have passed on. Also don't listen to people who say oh get another bike for more content. What rubbish you get enough content already from manufacturers loaning you bikes so don't fall for that.

[@garethgibafricatwin6663]

That is a lifetime bike, it'll put a smile on your face forever. Long into the future you'll look at it in your garage, as we now look at the classic Ducati, Moto Guzzi, etc

[@davestatham8668]

I love the look of your H2 and you've said it's not too comfortable but that review you did on M1000R and you loved everything about it but also you loved the older model. I'm going to say SELL IT!

[@chrisphillips2358]

Definitely a conundrum Chopsy. The issue is will they go up long term? (as opposed to up and down in the short to medium term which is inevitable). I've just bought a 1979 Honda CBX1000 6 cylinder (and selling my Streetfighter V4 to fund it) for the same reasoning that it will, over the long term (10 years +), go up in price where as the SFV4 will continue to go down. My advice would be if you come to the conclusion that they will go up in the long term, then hang on to it, but long term is 10 years plus.. Don't hang onto it and then sell it in 2 years time as market fluctuations at that time may mean the prices will fall and you'll be in the same situation as the Cosworth!!

[@markscott5142]

Keep it. You have the great garage space and cool arm chairs to sit and admire it’s beauty. Then take it a spin on the odd day for the thrill. It will go up in value. Plus you get to ride loads of other bikes and you own other great bikes. Keep it !

[@KingJerbear]

First time viewer of the channel, but my god... how could you sell it?! That's just the best looking bike I've ever seen in my life. I'm normally a huge fan of the black/dark chrome w/e with the green tubular... but this is just divine. I don't know is this is stock/special option package/aftermarket but whatever it is, this is a work of art. Thanks for sharing it. Stay safe out there edit: I've just watched your initial first video after purchase, it looks pretty similar in that one too (maybe less carbon?) I guess I've only seen them with more green accents, but yours is the best looking I've ever laid eyes on. It really is just a rolling exercise in engineering... brilliant.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Jeremy 👍yes done a few tasteful mods to it over the years

[@dagrande40]

Hi chops, In terms of practicality definitely diavel or M1000R both r winners , but as u said no more H2 in the UK meaning prices r going tremendously up man that bike is definitely the one and only "untill now" the only supercharged bike ever created. My opinion it is keeper.

[@Steve-motorcycles]

Some bikes are just keepers

[@Mtthwpez]

Just started the video, so before i get into it I am already telling you to keep it. There are only a few of your H2's around and the value will keep going up!

[@Oi-lad]

I have a H2 and I’m going to keep mine for as long as I can. I absolutely adore this bike; it’s so special.

[@seanshields1436]

Not my kind of bike however i would 100% keep it for the future investment like you said its the next cosworth. Sell the k8 and the zx7 you have plus any other bits you got and put it into the M1000R and have that bike for everything you need as it'll do it all. Keep this as your special toy plus future investment... good luck I'd loose sleep over such decisions 😅😂😂 Plus you ride all kinds of bikes so you get you variety of bikes from this channel. 👍

[@toys4meh2crbn]

Mucka u should keep it I just bought my risers because you put them on yours lol I have an h2 carbon a 23 love the videos your a beauty keep up the good work!

[@PutOnYourLid]

Chopsi, what are you trying to say. You made your point 'Savings' very clear. I'd buy the H2 off you for a good price if you want to sell it. I'd like the 'Mods' Too!

[@nomdeploom5707]

It really comes down to if you want to ride around on your savings. Unless you bank the cash (which is no fun) then you're always at risk of it being damaged anyway + extra depreciation with another bike too. If you keep it, you'll have that occasional special Sunday ride & eye candy in the garage & as has been said, you've plenty access to other bikes so I'd say keep it.

[@MrBrimsy]

You can send it over to me and i will babysit it till you wake up to yourself and decide to keep it LOL. I seen one on the weekend out in the hills near me. I was tempted to turn around and give chase and see if he was a straight-line warrior or if he could actually punt it through the hills. Either way, it was an epic-looking rig in the flesh. KEEP IT - Money comes and goes no point in being the richest man in the cemetery. Great vid again - keep it up mate.

[@IN_ZANE_]

If you can afford to hang on to it, the value will always be good in the long term.

[@fr00fro]

I would say it depends entirely on what you want to do with it. Do you actually want to ride it or keep it more as an investment. If you are constantly worried about dropping it or putting excess miles on it but you still want to ride it, I would probably sell it myself and get something like a Multi Pikes Peak. On the other hand you got quite a few bikes yourself and you constantly get press bikes to try as well so maybe for you its a smarter idea to keep it as the "trophy investment" bike, if that makes sense.

[@burfy68]

Definitely keep the H2 Chopsy. It’s absolutely stunning. I would sell the K8 and ZXR(once done up) and then buy a diavel. Imagine owning the H2 and Diavel, what a garage that would be.

[@davidlutton4560]

Thanks for another great video. I may be 'barking up the wrong tree', but I'm inclined to think you've lost a bit of confidence riding the H2, particularly given the investment tied up in it. As you've enjoyed owning it for a few years now, if I were you, I'd sell-up before the summer's out and scratch that M1000RR 'itch'. Take care and ride safe.

[@simonchilli2088]

There's 1 of 2 ways you could go if you sold the bike to add to your channel if you sold the bike and bought another. 1: you could buy a vintage bike such as a GSX1100. 2: A Honda Goldwing and do some trips with another member of the gang. 3: V-Strom 800 for some long rides with some light off roading. Maybe even in Europe. 4: A cruiser for some evening rides and meet ups. So Rocket 3 or Diavel. 5: An electric bike, the way forward but not for long I don't think. 6: Bitcoin. I said one of 2 but the more I thought the more came to mind.🤗

[@Paulthenutter34]

The handling was easily improved with Brocks adjustable links, raised the rear 10mm and pulled the forks up 5mm (front lowered). Huge difference! It turned and held a line so much better! I sold mine and bought a Tuono, BIG mistake! I now have a S1000R and really enjoy it but the H2 was stable, comfortable and special that normal bikes can't match... If it wasn't for right wrist surgery from a mountain bike crash, I'd probably still own it. Currently it's cruise control that allows me to keep riding but I do miss that bike a lot!

[@routerider9542]

I have one of these bikes (2015) and personally I wouldn't sell. It is not the only or best bike to have as there is no such bike in existence. It is a keeper to someone who appreciates motorcycles. Especially if you like a very fast bike that is nice to ride when you feel up to it.

[@itairam1]

I don't think you should sell it, it's a special bike, and yours is extra special. So keep it, keep enjoying it, and maybe take the H2 to a big trip with Greg

[@hyperthunk]

I'm a hoarder. Like to keep my bikes and just add to the collection 😂, I would definitely hang on to it. You get to ride plenty of other bikes, have a track bike, and I'm sure you'll end up adding another to the garage before too long! As you've said before matey, this one is a piece of motorcycling history. Having said that, I'd have a Pike's Peak, Diavel, or M1000R any day of the week as well.. Brilliant bikes. Tbh I'd ride the pikes peak and then try and compare it to the forthcoming M1000XR before making any decisions! The Diavel is a looker but I suspect you'd get more use out of the comfier position on those (though the Diavel looks comfy, but wind protection...) AND that longer travel suspension has got to be useful given the state of UK roads (which don't look like they're getting fixed anytime soon!)

[@AdamForeman]

I love the H2, it's a one of a kind super sports bike that truly looks, sounds and rides incredibly well. However, the thing to ask yourself is, do you need all your bikes to be sports bikes? I'm disabled from the waist down, not to do with biking, just health issues, but I always wanted to have a bike of different genres ie sports, adventure, tourer, cruiser and maybe something else. The ability to pick the type of bike to ride in the morning depending on how you feel or the weather, it just gives you the flexibility to ride each one whenever it suits you. At the end of the day, it's your choice of the bikes you enjoy, perhaps having all sports bikes suits you better?

[@pauldark3044]

I put mine up for sale but changed my mind after a couple of days, it's a keeper

[@michaelpearson4474]

@@neilrichardson3986 Chops has got a conundrum there, because I agree with the direction the values would go, but not with regards to the 10k for either. In reality, the bikes on the radar are all ones he wants to own and ride. With the Kwak, as an investment, it’s going to have to be wrapped in cotton wool with the mileage kept low. Difficult decision.

[@NotNowCato1254]

Hmm, tough decision Chops. For the reasons you gave I reckon Ninja H2s are just gonna climb in value. Look at RC30s and the like, and there are a lot more of them about. So, it's appreciating nest egg vs experiencing the ownership of X number of great bikes in the future which will continue to cost rather than earn money 🤔. If it was me I'd like to think I'd go for option B. Ain't no pockets in a shroud, as they say...

[@baccas66]

Most of us have been there Chopsy. We've sold a bike and lived to regret it. Motorcycles are made to be ridden. Not to be kept in a locked garage in the vain hope that it my be worth a few quid in the future. Personally, I'd rather own a bike with a decent mileage on it. It proves that it has been used on a regular basis, that's important. . Rubber seals don't like sitting still. They degrade. Keep the old girl, ride and continue to look after her. The enjoyment that she gives you is worth more than hard cash.

You can't sell the H2 Chops. It's a unicorn. The one thing you'll have that is godlike. Keeps you young. Anyone could have a diavel or a superduke. The H2 is just a mythic machine

[@jonathandavies6862]

From a dealer perspective you need to demo the pikes peak first and then ride this again to make your decision. You will always be saddened whenever you decide to sell this bike its clearly struck a cord. However I think this quite a big moment for you and your KZbin channel. You know you want to keep content fresh but you don't want sell it early if keeps going up in value. You are having to choose between a bike you worry about dropping or damaging when it's your savings or trying something new or different. It's not an easy decision

I agree, I don’t see the point in keeping bikes that spend most of the time sitting in the garage. It’s a lot of money & not being used.

[@ravenmoto5948]

I agree with living in that country it's pretty pointless.

[@dugmtb9226]

Personally, I would keep hold of it. Enjoy riding it when the conditions are right and look at it in the garage whilst having a cup of tea the rest of the time. As you said, they aren't made anymore so are bound to keep going up in value.

[@mikejgriffiths]

Chops it's an amzing bike. I think in 10 - 20 years or so it will be worth loads of money. As it's an investment I'd clean it all ip, cover it in protectant and leave it in the garage and let it appreciate. If you wanted another bike then yes, I'd get the Diavel V4, love that thing but if not just let the H2 price grow. I understand your pain....

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

I think you should keep it. I do agree with all my reasoning, I’ve had a mark one Escort with all bells and whistles and also a Cortina mark 2 Lotus, sold them for nothing back in the day and look at what they’re fetching today! So I know what you’re saying. I only sold them because I had to buy my flat and I cried, I did. We only live once mate, you love it, it’s an investment as you said, just don’t think it is when you take it out as you know that riding is more a mental state. If your mind is positive you do ride better. Just keep your chances on your side, have fun without going berserk. You’ve got other bikes for that.

[@husky-xu2ow]

If you are even thinking about selling it you have your answer already👍👍

[@JohnnoNinja]

Definitely keep it! It's a dream bike for many and you own it. It's something special and I think you'll regret eventually when you sell it.

[@Jake-yy9fg]

i'd sell it whilst its in one piece tbh, problem with bikes like that is they just attract bad luck. anything extremely expensive/easy to damage should be avoided unless you're a millionaire haha. you can't have that much fun on a 250bhp machine on the roads of britain. just sort your ducati out and get a sports touring.

[@matthewclark6147]

I’d recommend keeping the H2 from an investment perspective. They are quite rare, sought after and discontinued, so should have a solid residual. The other bikes are not limited production as far as I know so as new bikes are likely to depreciate. However, they’re all fantastic bikes! If your heart craves a different bike you should nevertheless sell it and get what you want. We only live once! Great channel, keep it up!

[@myhatton]

I think you answered your own question before you even “rolled the intro”. Keep it. Keep it. Keep it. No brainer! The other bikes you mentioned are amazing I’m sure… but not as as amazing as the Kawasaki.

[@Will_M600]

dream machine for sure! i don't think i'll ever buy one but i'll always want one

[@mattcadams]

Hold onto it mate. You'll regret selling it, even if you don't take it out that often. I think you're right, there will never be another bike like it.

[@MOTOUK1]

If you don’t ride it sell it and add something on the channel that maybe opens a new audience

[@missydee6085]

Keep it until you drop it again (or not, hopefully)! You've got a collection of other sweet bikes now, so maybe move one or two of them on if you fancy a new experience? Frankly, whatever you think about getting in future will create a dilemma well worth having. 😎

[@Smart_Rides]

Love the H2!! I know your a decent sized bloke but I want you to review a CCM spitfire or the Six! very different bikes but wanted to see what you think

[@bencatt6246]

Beautiful bike Chopsy, and definitely unique. But personally, if you’re not riding it and worried about mileage and any damage, I’d sell it. Life’s too short . Get something you’ll use and enjoy. Or even better, get that Hyper back on the road 👍👍👍👍👍😁

[@ryanwalsh8965]

If you sell it, I think go pikes peak or the super naked route 👌🏻super naked’s are so good at the moment & cover most types of riding, ace for an hours blast but even a 200 mile trip 👌🏻& plenty of potential for garage time modding vids 😏

[@peterowberry4390]

Been there, done that. Time to move on to the next bike

[@CaptainCarbon]

Chopsy, do what feels right to you. Have bike, have fun. Effing have bike, have fun and frikken send it. What makes you happy and smile Mate, that's what matters. Ride it to enjoy it.

[@gaelchandran6864]

Keep it, the value is going up so you are not losing money on it. Think how much it is going to cost in depreciation if you buy a multidtrada for instance..And it is one of a kind, the others look a bit bland compared to your H2; I love it !

[@512460]

Yes Mr lamb chop keeping it real and confirming that money doesn't grow on trees like it does for some KZbinrs. Having to save money earnt for some time before being able to make such a purchase.

[@markkennedy2521]

Of all the choices that you've mentioned I personally wouldn't even consider a Diavel! I haven't ridden one but it's just a lump of a bike with an oversized rear tyre that supposedly handles heavily (a mate had one and got rid of after 8 months) The M1000R is a serious contender, a do it all with ease and has the capability to Sunday scratch, tour anywhere and track day! Have heard alot about the Pikes peak but if I was going Ducati it would have to be the Streetfighter V4. Finally you can keep that absolutely beautiful H2, it's dripping exotica but if its un-useable and burning a hole in your head and pocket, then it might be worth cashing in? The Diavel would be just as un-useable too though I would think? M1000R then.

[@pgkr67]

The new diavel has very good handling, and loooots of power. Check Chopsies review, and comparison with the Rocket..

[@thomasmail4374]

I have the H2 and H2SX, I've have the same thought...sell or keep. Each time I ride it I want to keep it. It's like nothing else. The SX it so much easier to ride but doesn't excite as much. Note for many Kawasaki owners check for the cam chain tensioner recall....both my bikes were in the list and it's not just H2's

[@Dan_B_Rides]

If I had that bike, I would keep it. Let’s be honest, that thing will turn heads more than a Ducati. That bike looks perfect with the carbon parts. Keep it Chopsy. That bike is you all over.

[@mojosdad68]

That bike is a keeper. It’s appreciated value may plateau as you say, but I would bet it would then take off again only to keep climbing. There really is no other bike like it. If this genuinely is your savings, pull the battery, park it, cover it, and let it be like a cash investment. We’ve all owned that one automobile that we wish we had never sold.

[@pistolpete6321]

This has such unique engineering so it will always be special, that said I might be tempted for a Pikes Peak but other than that I’d keep it.

[@neilrichardson3986]

Keep it ,watch the value rise 💸 💰 🤑
