I think its a nice bike for the mountens for hearpins and twistis

[judisheldon]

You did a right fine job and so did Banshee.

I have to say I'm impressed with the slow speed handling of your new Z H2 SW.

[Motoramblings]

Sounds like you have some great trips planned. Short, and long! When you head down the BRP, let me know, maybe I can ride with you for a few miles....

[MarkDBoyce]

Have the 2020, NEEDED the comfort seat, which took about 4-500m to break in, now it is fantastically comfortable. Enjoy your ride!!!

[Broncoride]

Good on you my friend for picking up the new ride.

[yankinoz]

I'm really liking this bike!! If I wasn't retired I would think about adding it to my 2020 Heritage 114!

She looks good out there and sounds even better when spooling up. I can’t wait to hear her after break in and your taking her up to full song. Mike In time you’ll learn what’s best, more comfortable for you with regard to relaxing your grip on throttle. It’s subconscious for me now and the technique has transferred over to my Wing. And was of great benefit on my long tour to Florida as I felt zero pressure on wrist. I’ve learned that on fairing less naked type bikes when you become relaxed and the core is supporting you then and only then can your extremities, legs, arms and eventually wrist get all day comfortable. Get that right and this bike will replace the Wing as your tourer in the warmer months. Next up, resist the urge to put hard panniers on the Banshee. Later.

Love the SE Ohio riding! I spent a few days there last year. Triple nickel is fun, just be careful there was a lot of gravel kicked out in spots. Some beautiful rolling hills and curves everywhere up there. Love the new bike btw ! My last sport bike was a Honda 954. It was a wheelie king 😁. Be safe out there.

You gotta be able to hold on when bumps hit. Sometimes they catch ya by surprise. On road to a much lesser degree of course but it still happens. Hopefully I'm in the middle ground between wringing their necks and finger tip eggshell handling so I'm not sent flying!

[earlaker]

I knew you'd be on the course with that H2 sooner than later. Honestly, I'm surprised it took you this long! Impressive riding too! I gotta say, though, while I understand you wanting to get through the break-in period on the Kawi and the desire to play with your new toy, I'm beginning to miss the 'Wing.
Btw, one of the first things I want to do when I finally move to NC is get my Goldwing on The Blue Ridge Parkway. That'll be a priority.

Watching the "Practice Range" manoeuvres, and recalling most of my early 1950s, sitting on my rear end on the road, watching my bike sliding down the road in front of me, due to the shiny "plastic" tyres which we had to use in those far-off days! I wish I had your confidence in your tyres and lean angles! I am constantly in fear of losing grip on my modern tyres even now! Good tip about relaxing the grip on the handlebars when cornering!... With the constant fear of sliding off, I grip my handlebars like my life depends upon it...with predictable results when cornering! I wish I had a very large parking area near me for bike practice, but our supermarket car parks are far too small and congested! Take care, all! P.S. how are you going to carry your necessary gear on your sport/roadster bike, for your long tours during the Summer?

[Kickstart]

My biggest issue with faster bikes is seeing that curve ahead and oh shit I’m already there!

[banditnev]

I just looked up the specs of yer new bike, very nice I thought it was a 1400cc but I was wrong but it is turbo charged which makes up for that 😁👍

[rockyj]

I knew it wouldn't take long before you were whipping it through those lines. :-)

[trailblazeratv]

How is the insurance on that BEAST ? It's just gorgeous and sounds glorious

[HarleyDayRider]

Let me know when you hit the triple nickel? Will you just take a backpack for your trips? Never thought I would see you on a sport bike but here you are. Ride Safe

[RoadReality]

What camera is that on your handlebars? If it's got HyperSmooth, turn it on Boost or whatever they call the highest setting. I used a Hero 8 on my handlebars like that in a few videos, and it shook like a leaf but hte image was pretty stable.

[moose]

Braver than I. I can’t even imagine taking a bike that small on a 1800 mile 4 day ride lol. I’ll need to leave a day early so I can run the road ahead of you and meet you at the end. Lol

[hslilly]

Sorry, if you've covered this in another video. Have you discussed why that model and if it had other serious contenders for your second motorcycle?
