17:37 “ probably can’t hear it” that’s the whole point, it’s so smooth you can’t hear it :-) beautiful motorcycle, and a little bit scary too

[@FastyRides]

So i gather you like your bike then? hahaha top video as usual pal. Fasty-Rides

[@MotovlogUK]

It's not bad mate. Not too bad at all :)

[@NewburyNick]

I just thought I’d add what my No.1 point would be after owning my H2sxse for the last 6 months… It would be that Kawasaki were brave enough to do something different to all the other manufacturers. A lot of other bikes are all starting to look the same or are moving more to adventure type bikes. Kawasaki made a sports tourer and put a supercharger on it!!! On top of that they then made it look different to anything else on the road. This is my number one like about the bike. There is nothing else like it on the road and I get so many people stop and tell me how much the love the look of the bike. These also tend to be non-bikers too! AMAZING!

[@MotovlogUK]

Well said that man!

[@PDCRed]

Great vid. Have to say, you were very brave buying the bike without riding it, given your neck problems. What a machine!

[@MotovlogUK]

If I suffered on it, I'd have got the Operation done lol. Nothing was going to keep me off this beauty. Seem to be fine atm

[@user-wc6ns6el5f]

Beautiful looking bike, kawasaki engineering, brilliant, i might see if i can afford one. Great reveiw .

[@MotovlogUK]

Thank you pal. Get a test ride. You’ll want to take it home 🫡

[@kennethhughes3275]

I have the 2018 h2sxse I'm glad it's not just me that thinks it's stunning it's probably one of the best I've owned from gpz9s zxr750 thou rx zzr1100 zx1400 zx10 and zx10r to this h2sxse suzuki honda and yamaha ri I'm 70yrs going on 16 when I'm on my bike ride safe and keep the shiny side up.

[@MotovlogUK]

Agreed mate. It’s stunning. The only bike I need. I absolutely love it! You too mate. Ride safe 🫡

[@lanresoetan9873]

In the past 12 years or so, I had a Hayabusa, BKing, two Diavels, including the Titanium, but it's looking like this SX SE is going to be the one to get. I'll start saving my pennies. You've got a great bike there. I'm about 5'6", so I worry about the seat height and wrist ache. I'm in my 50s. 😁

[@MotovlogUK]

Nice one. I think you can get a thinner seat and like I've done, you can drop the suspension down a bit which helps. Mines at -2 setting. The reach might be a bit of a stretch but I think a pair of tank pads will help massively. I'm used to using my knees to take the weight so that'll sort me out. Get a test ride buddy to be sure and all the best.

[@rainkaru1946]

I am from Finland, riding my zzr1400 in UK during winter months....very much intrested to try H2sx. Only thing I didn't understand, police didn't show turn signal yes, but do you need to use turn signal in UK while you are continuing on a roundabout? We must show turn signal when leaving the roundabout.

[@MotovlogUK]

@@rainkaru1946 hey buddy yes. Turn signal is required to let people behind you know what you’re doing. The police van didn’t signal so it seemed they were going straight on. They went all the way around so I could have hit the side of the van if I wasn’t paying attention. They also should have been on the inside lane. Not the outside. Also the people entering the roundabout don’t know what you’re doing if you’re not signalling and could pull out.

[@majordelays4909]

@@rainkaru1946never trust folks with regards indications in the UK. Standard of driving is very variable

[@lyndonohue3350]

Such an impressive bike, and so unique. This bike really stands apart from everything else in this category. Really stunning bike, beautiful styling. I like this newer version a little better than the older bike.

[@NewburyNick]

What do you prefer about the new version? I prefer the older styling as it’s closer to the original H2R in styling.

[@MotovlogUK]

I fell in love with the Bikes from 2018 so love all the styles. It's a wonderful machine.

[@johnvif]

Gonna buy one exactly like that. 2 years more of waiting

[@MotovlogUK]

Well worth the wait pal 🫡

[@blackk1UK]

Great review. The engine on these is simply stunning. It's almost like an electric motor, but with character. The ability to commute, then ride to the Alps with luggage before chasing the sports bikes up and down the passes then riding back. I've done that a number of times on mine when European touring with the Old Gits.

[@MotovlogUK]

Awesome mate! Thanks for commenting

[@RevZolution]

Very jealous. This is my dream bike. I Rode it at ABR 2023 and loved it. Good video. I've just subscribed to your channel

[@MotovlogUK]

Hey buddy thank you. We were at ABR too!

[@RevZolution]

@MotovlogUK it was brilliant wasn't it. We're going back next year

[@MotovlogUK]

@@RevZolution yea deffo the best camp I’ve ever done. We’re already booked for 2024. Subbed buddy 🫡

[@bikegeist]

What a great, and very well put together video. All your points were really well explained and linked together. I also love the look of this bike and would love to ride one some day. You mentioned a camera on the front of the bike near the screen, what does that do?

[@MotovlogUK]

Hey buddy thank you. The camera on the front is currently for the auto high beam where it senses an oncoming car and dips the lights however, a little birdie tells me there’s also an infrared camera in there and night vision software is being developed for it!!! Imagine that 🫡

[@cartzwheels]

Amazing top 5 Dave. It really is an amazing bike to own and your very very lucky to have your dream bike.

[@MotovlogUK]

Hey buddy nice one 🫡

[@Tarmac_Warrior]

looks fantastic mate

[@heating4343]

When I got my K1600GTL last year I had never had a more technology loaded bike before. I honestly thought I would never use any of it how wrong was I. I am happy you love the bike such a big investment to get wrong like you I love my bike .Great vid see you soon flash

[@MotovlogUK]

Hey buddy. That GTL is awesome mate. So glad you love it and yea, I was always an analogue guy. Until now lol. It's ACE

[@pauldark3044]

Great video again! Here's my top 5 i love about the bike. 1.The engine with the supercharger at higher revs 2.The electronics, equipment 3. Comfort 4. Looks to be a tourer is amazing 5. The panniers

[@MotovlogUK]

Great list buddy 🫡

[@NewburyNick]

Great video and I love my 2020 version. Jury is still out in the newer version as I’m not sure about all the technology and I prefer the looks of the older version. It has full diamond cut wheels and a more angular front end (closer to the original H2R). The newer version is slightly more rounded at the front. I agree completely with everything else. In terms of comfort I wanted to get a ‘cool covers’ vented seat cover for my bike as had one on other bikes and improves comfort a lot. The company didn’t make one for my bike so i went up to their factory and they made a pattern from my seat and they now offer one on-line. It looks great on the bike and improves comfort even more.

[@MotovlogUK]

2020 version is a beauty and the one I sat on at the Motor Show. Thanks for commenting pal

[@NewburyNick]

Maybe we need to have a meet up ride to do a video comparison of the two versions?

[@MotovlogUK]

@@NewburyNick could deffo do that pal

[@TrippyMooner]

I have a 2018 SX that I got a sweet deal on in the summer of 2019. I have a couple hundred thousand hard fought lane splitting miles of traffic experience on several bikes here in southern California. As an owner of an incredible H2 myself I believe your commenting was way cool or as you say on your side of the pond spot on. Thanks

[@MotovlogUK]

Nice one buddy. Let’s swap countries for a year so I can get some vitamin D! Awesome Bikes eh mate. Toptastic!

[@robertobruselas3952]

Happy to hear your insights on the H2 SXSE. Could be my next bike. But the weight is scary for me. 2020 Ninja 1000SXSE owner.

[@SSG3084]

Just a FYI the tank is painted with SELF HEALING paint. According to Kawasaki the paint will correct minor scratches and swirls on it own from the heat of the sun. Big scratches or gouging will stay.

[@mobleyuk]

I’m not sure it is ?? I believe it’s only the H2 R has that , and it’s not paint , it’s some exotic finish with silver

[@MotovlogUK]

Not sure on the SX pal

[@SSG3084]

According to the manual, the fuel tank and tank trim have the healing paint

[@MotovlogUK]

@@SSG3084 woooow I didn’t know that. Gonna have a look. Thanks for the info

Did I tell you about the adaptive cruise control? Have to talk you through it the next time we meet up. And the time after that. I have a Tin of Gloss Black Metal Paint. Might put it to some use. Adaptive cruise control you say? Oh wait, I already answered that.

[@Al-ZamilYamatazu-bw4gr]

Al Salaam Walter I have seen two of your videos the five things you hate and the five things you love and I am contemplating getting one of these bikes, so I really appreciate it and I have heard nothing but good things about this bike and it’s selling me on this bike although I don’t have the money right now I can save and perhaps even get a used one but it’s really really encouraging and I want to say congratulations and I hope you have very long history with this bike . I haven’t watched all of your videos, but can you make a video with like miles per gallon? I did see you had a specifications video on there and I haven’t checked it out yet but if it’s possible and it’s not in the video, can you make one that talks about the miles per gallon because that’s gonna make a little bit of a difference you know in my opinion about the bike. Thanks so much

[@MotovlogUK]

Hi buddy and thank you for stopping by. They are great bike and there’s definitely bargains to be had in the used market. I will add MPG to one of my upcoming vids so thank you for the suggestion. All the best.

[@blackk1UK]

I've had mine since 2019 and have done over 30,000 miles. Before the flash was installed, I got between 45 and 50mpg. After the flash, I'm getting 42 to 48mpg. All depending on where and how I'm riding. It is possible to get below 40mpg but you have to be going VERY fast to do that. It's also possible to get nearly 60mpg if riding it gently, but why would you want to do that? :D

[@richardwoodhouse8397]

Hi' what seting do you prefer in the cruise ?

[@MotovlogUK]

I set it at 85 for the overtakes and medium distance pal. Works well on the motorway in a group.

[@Channel11Original]

Great info thanks! I’m very old school,is Kawasaki build quality up to Honda standards these days? I’m 20 yrs out of date but don’t want rust after 2 mths and wud luv to buy new H2 SX SE! Thanks

[@MotovlogUK]

I think so buddy but I’m no expert. I suppose that’s why you get it in PCP. They can have it back if any of that happens lol. Seems pretty good so far. Thanks for commenting pal.

[@Channel11Original]

@@MotovlogUK Used to be an old thing that build quality was a let down but seems much better now,great insight into a new buy thanks. I need one!

[@bikerfan6554]

The build quality on the fairings is not the same as Honda . Honda has very good build quality on the fairings even painted on the inside of the fairing , something I have not seen or any other manufacturer, maybe Ducati I am not sure , never owned one😂. The rest of the bike is as good build quality as Honda , I also have the 2018 model and it is a brilliant bike in every way , it is as fast as a zx14 but not faster , they are the same at top speed but zx14 is much more comfortable. H2 sx se is a good bike with alot of technology and unique as not many people own one

[@richardwoodhouse8397]

No, but 2nd to honda.

[@stevie5141]

Just through interest how much to insure one of them roughly?

[@MotovlogUK]

Really depends on your personal circumstances. Best to use a comparison website to give you an idea

[@paulboyle8522]

Great video. I am 6,4"" and want to move from adv bike to sport tourer. Any tall riders out there riding this bad boy, and how is it.

[@postersm7141]

I think at 6‘4“. You’ll be just fine on that bike. I’m 5‘7“ and ride a MT 10. I did saddle up on the H2 many times at the dealership, and it seemed very doable even for my size. but then again, I have decades of experience, mostly on larger bikes.

[@rowdy6274]

I'm 6'5, it's fine for tall riders. The space for knees isn't perfect but you can full tuck it

[@srinivasaniyer1471]

Is the semi electronic shock absorber really good to feel like natural as I heard from Kawasaki dealer than better to drive h2sx

[@MotovlogUK]

It’s a very very good system mate. I do find it a bit hard out the box but if you play with the settings you can get it just right.

[@srinivasaniyer1471]

Thanks Mate, I am deciding to buy the H2 Sports tourer, the dealer advised to better go with H2Sx as it feels more natural. In addition I like to use it for long touring and occasionally in race track. I guess what you mean by setting is to adjust in one of the evel in each mode. Is the vehicle good for race track given the weight of it for cornering.

[@MotovlogUK]

@@srinivasaniyer1471 hey buddy. Yea you can back off the back spring to make a softer ride. I have mine set at -2 and it feels good. It’s no Zx10 buddy due to its weight but I’m sure it would be real fun on a track. Cruising is the sweet spot

[@srinivasaniyer1471]

Thanks Mate, Your feedback helps a lot. I am avoiding the pure sports inclined model like zx 10R and M 1000RR due to lumbar disc issue. Do you feel the weight of H2 SX in curves while touring on hairpin bends while touring or it feels light weighted

[@MotovlogUK]

@@srinivasaniyer1471 it’s great when you’re going pal. Loves the corners but it is a big bike. I’d test ride mate to be sure it’s good for you

[@ianbrown9938]

What sort of miles per gallon do you get from your bike?

[@MotovlogUK]

It does pretty good when we’re out touring. I think around 45. I’ve had it over 50 at some point as well. And around 30 for ‘other reasons’ lol

[@postersm7141]

That’s actually a pretty good fuel economy. I’m typically getting around 38 miles per gallon on my MT 10 but that’s because I can’t control my right wrist :-)

[@thomasgraham5821]

What does the 2023 model have , that the 2022 model does not have?

[@MotovlogUK]

Just the auto high beam assist I think mate. Which I don’t use lol.
