I enjoyed the video, thanks. I have a 2023, I followed the break-in period religiously, with an extra oil change @ 50 miles. Since then, I read how to set it in sport mode, and have no idea what all the buttons do? No do I have any interest. I run the front tyre at 28 psi, which for me, improves it's road manners with the short wheelbase. I strongly encourage potential litre bike buyers, to consider one. I've owned most note-worthy bikes, over my 45 years of riding, and this one is stupid.I love it. I can't wait to have my hip replaced, so I don't look my age, when getting on it. 😁

Great review. Put a deposit down on a 2021 SE model for collection in March. You answered a lot of questions i have on the bike. Especially the fuel range. Was hoping to get at least 150miles from the tank with steady riding and the odd blip of performance! Love the look of this bike especially in the green. Look forward to the future videos on this machine. Keep up the good work.👍

Nice review. I own a zh2 and with the BT ecu flash the bike has registered 229bhp on the dyno at 13900 rpm. It is nuts! In response to the steering damper comments below, just setup the suspension and the bike is loads more stable. In my case I've installed Nitron forks and shocks and had it setup and I've got zero complaints. I've done track days as well and it holds its own against much more focused track bikes. But yes it is more of a road bike of course. If you lose the rocket launcher exhaust and install a lithium battery the bike is 10 kilos lighter straight away.

@@Revviews The bike cleared the noise level check at Brands Hatch without any problems and to be honest I don't think they even did a check at Donington Park. Having said all that I thought the bike was embarrassingly loud with the shorter Scorpion exhaust and the baffle out so I got the longer Scorpion end can and it is just right; to my ears anyway! 😁 I did the track days after fitting the longer Scorpion end can... Can't remember what it's called. I should mention that I've got Akrapovic race headers installed which probably made the noise problem worse with the shorter exhaust.

I currently have this bike. Prior to this I had the H2SE. I put an akra exhaust on that. The exhaust sounded good but it drowned out the supercharger chirp. A bit disappointing. Because of that I've resisted fitting the zh2 with a slip on. Just something to be aware of...

Hey Andrew, thats good to know mate, appreciated. For now the plan is just a slip on, hopefully baffle out but if that drowns out the supercharger fun I'll keep the baffle in. It was for weight saving and also a little extra bar so hopefully works out well. I'll fit those bits in the coming weeks then get the miles in 😁 Cheers 🍻

@@rosendo3523 Mate, you're going to love it. A few suggestions: 1. comfort seat to stop saddle soreness. 2. brocks bitubo steering damper - front gets very light and loose when you are hard on the gas, damper settles that. 3. ohlins rear shock, not absolutely necessary but improves handling. If I had to chose 1 thing then it would be the comfort seat. I've got a few bikes - s1000rr, r1250 GSA, Harley street glide ST - zH2 is my favorite!

hi Thanks for the video. l am literally green with envy lol. Loved this bike since l saw it on various videos. Yammy Noob absolutely loved it and you could see this in his videos. By the way you did say we should ask for a deep dive into the guts of the system. Please do one... l am curious to see how far ahead the tech has come. Came across one guy with it whilst cycling last summer in the wee hours. lt is a thing of beauty, other than seeing it in the flesh and looking at that screen l did not see anything else but one of the highlights so far in as far as seeing special bikes...

@@Revviews Thanks l am looking forward to that video. Sorry to hear that about Europe and some other places going off ICE vehicles, sheer madness to me, they should maybe go something like Singapore where they discourage cars by charging more for them and having a first rate transport setup which nullifies the need for personal transportation. Point is though its pricier people have a choice. Remember remarking about this on another page, saying we may very well soon the birth of ICE tourism. People may end up travelling to places like Australia, America and probably Africa ... if the bikes are there just to experience the thrill of ICE technology. Imagine that! Sadly some will call it progress, what weird times we live in. Having for a number of years run an electric scooter, l have no appetite for them. that would change should they start costing normal bike prices and should their range on a full charge be at least 1 000km real world. l think there is a long way to go on both those fronts. So till then these types of bike will make sense.

Have you ridden one yet? It’s nothing special imo , I had a demo on one and imo the power delivery of the supercharger is not my cup of tea, it’s fast yes but there’s Zero delay in the acceleration, for some people that’s amazing but I prefer the gradual acceleration of eg the Triumph speed triple 1200 Rs , it’s also fast but more linear. That’s just my opinion but I wouldn’t buy one, the build quality is not great 👍🏾
