Great video Dave love your bike it sounds sweet 😄👌 I used Crawley Kawasaki when it was run by the original owners for me they were awesome great knowledge and keen service cost however the new owners don’t know what customer service is nothing but bad reviews even from my neighbour 🤨can’t see them staying in business safe ride take care mate👌🏍☀️ Jim in Birmingham

Thank god the UK left the EU because all the namby pamby rules and regulations that the EU imposed were originally thought up and promoted by the UK. So its actually the EU taking back control and we are no longer at risk of having all these speed cameras imposed on us in Ireland. Driving in the UK is just depressing and I have not visited since the brexit vote and have no wish to anytime soon. Pity you did not show us more of the bike.

I called one local bike garage to do a service. Yeah not an issue,we charge £80ph.... Not a chance of me paying that.

Allways done it myself and would never trust anybody to work on my bike which i have had 44 years

My bike hasn’t seen the dealer since it left. I bought the service manual and I have taken care of everything myself on my Honda.

Has anyone found this bike for 2024 in the u.s.a? I think kawasaki changed their mind. All year not one to see in the northeast

Call the pcp company and tell them . They altered mine for nothing if your over the annual mileage it will cost a fortune it’s normally pence per mile which if your mileage is thousands over it will be a fortune have fun ill be five minutes x gods country 🎉

After a few realy terrible experiences of dealer workshops I swore off them about 40 years ago. Learning to be self reliant was a rewarding experience that I rolled out to everything I do. I see the need for the trade to exist, but prefer not to get involved as a customer.

Bike servicing is a financial rip off,the customer gets taken to the cleaners for an average job. The car industry is the same. Rip off Britain.

A very useful vid Dave. I don’t understand how different dealers can charge different prices. It was the same for the big service on my bike.

Enjoyed the video. The average speed cameras are a covert means of extorting money from ordinary road users. The politicians who have enabled this theft travel in chauffeur-driven cars or by helicopter. You Brits elected them. But why buy a bike capable of exceeding the 50mph limit by some 130mph, and even be limited by how many miles you are allowed to do?

Great video! Dealership prices on servicing is all over the place. My first service on my CB650R was £140 which I thought was ok for a main dealer, thay have to make money and usually have large overheads. I serviced it again 6 months later myself for about £60 and used genuine parts. My second service cost me over £260! Now that my warranty has expired, my bike will never see a main dealer again as I will be doing all the maintenence and servicing of the bike. The cost savings by me doing this is huge. Plus I document every piece of work carried out on the bike so when i come to sell it, I just print off the service file for the next owner. A fully stamped book of dealer stamps means absolutely nothing in my opinion, its the ongoing maintenence in-between servicing and how the bike is ridden is what matters

You don't have to use a Kawasaki dealer for service to keep a warranty you could use a small dealer, as long as they use genuine parts and are vat registered you won't affect your warranty, the only thing a small garage can't do is warranty claims

Hi Dave Like I said on our ride out Clay cross Kawasaki is doing my service for £240 too @9k miles = to the 7k service

Hi Dave ,I bought my sxse from completely in Staverton can't speak highly enough about there customer care from sales to service ,infact all the staff ,its a family run business, if you ever get to meet Rob or James Ayland who own and run it ,you will see what makes this company so special ,They have looked after me and my mate Chris brilliantly, especially Chris who bought his Kwak from another dealer and had some real issues , these guys sorted him out ,says it all really, now they have your business too , good choice mate

Cradley robbers and Streetbike were a bunch of nobs too. See thee soon.

jeez. The price you pay to drive some brands these days. Still, you're lucky you didn't buy a BMW or Ducati🤣 Looking forward to the epic movie of the joint subs rideout! See you Dave!

Hey dave.maybe the first dealership pay higher rent and costs to the other dealership.... Sainsbury's charge more then average which is acceptable...Sure you aren't proping yourself and where you live here?

Streetbike are shut shut. They won’t be opening them doors again 😢 They wasn’t the best any road. The price of services are stupid it’s like insurance. One big game of bingo 🤦🏼‍♂️

Call of the void (aka high place phenomenon) apparently it's only men that have them thoughts (could be wrong) I hope that answers your question. Great videos Dave, thanks for sharing and see you on your next adventure ✌️ 🤙 🤟

This bike is built for touring in mountainous country with lots of tight corners. It seems wasted on these lanes and B roads.

Just at the entrance of the Himley hall & park or inside it ?

Looking forward to meeting you guys, originally from Tipton but now live in south wales. 👍

sure Dave: diet flavour🤣 Anyway, have a lot of fun - you and the guys! Looking forward to the epic movie of the joint subs rideout!

I can’t remember agreeing to cake, I know lots of good cake providers though? T&C’s apply. 👍🏻

Hey everyone, it’s CC CamFam. Unfortunately I won’t be going because I don’t know if I want to go on the bike much. So just a reminder to have a good day and see you and also see ya Dave.😢

Hi.Ich hab das Modell 2018.Mich Nervt total die harten Ruckler bei 30 bis 50 km/h.Die Motor Geräusche beim Start sind auch Hässlich. Sie kommen von der Steuerkette des Kompressor. Manchmal dauert es länger bis er funktioniert. Ich hab das Gefühl dass er gleich kaputt geht. Es gab Probleme damit und es wäre schon der neue Kettenspanner drin.Aber er ist auch nicht perfekt. Die verwierbelung am Helm trotz höherer Scheibe ist so stark dass ich niemals ohne Gehörschutz fahre.Wäre das behoben wäre sie für mich genial.Bin etwas Enttäuscht.

Bought he same slip on as well 5-6 years ago. It actually looks like it was made for our bike! Sounds good on the V4 and yes I ordered it straight from SC Project , Italy. Good looking pipe and it really opens up a look at the single sided swing arm. I have a Yoshimura Alpha on my 2019 CB1000R and like it too! Nice Quality.

Hi Dave, I've been binge watching your vids, all top drawer mate. In vlog 46 that's the reason I didn't go to the ABR as my back was playing up. They've recommended me to have an operation also, but for me, the risks are too high, so I'll just suffer. Anyway buddy, is the time at Himley Hall on Sunday still at 7.30am? Thanks for sharing and see you on your next adventure ✌️ 🤙 🤟

Still enjoying your vid’s fella, good to see you’re still enjoying the big bad H2👌🏽👍🏽

I'm not a fan of these fob systems for motorcycles. They are cash cows for the dealers and do not add value to the bikes utility.

I have the same exhaust on my 2014 VFR.

Great video, those animals on the campsite was a shock, they could’ve knocked your bike over 😮

Great Vid mate, funny as fook. Love the wildlife, made me chuckle 😂😂😂

Max: piece of sh*t bike🤣. Nice vid again. Good you saved it from sinking in the grass. Good to see you enjoying yourself. looking forward to seeing 171...

How you finding the H2's throttle at low speeds? the 2018 I did have was very choppy and riding it slowly was honestly off putting.

She does sound nice 🤤 Me and my little mate on the Honda 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Your video is weird at the edges. Get a DJI 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great video of an epic weekend. I'm gonna try my best to be there on the 14th for the ride out, I was wondering if you guys meet up before maccys just so I could join from the beginning and not go solo. Thanks for sharing and see you on your next adventure ✌️ 🤙 🤟

Hi Dave how you doing? There is another setting on the DJI called Narrow which is below the standard (dewarp) setting. It is cracking footage from the GoPro though although I do notice a lot of judder at the sides from the GoPros. Same fuel cap on the Z900, I have a video of Givi tank ring fitting for these (they are a bit bigger than normal) Hope to see you soon. Tracey and Ian 😘

Such an amazing weekend spent with the best company (shame not everyone was there). Dans face when he got back off the test ride haha. I bet he’s still shacking. 😂😂 cartz banksy, but I’ll have you no. It was a portrait of Fasty’s 😉

Hey buddy - Picking my new a 2024 H2 SX SE on Saturday, Would be interested to know how you've got on with these in a long term review.. How does the grip compare to the standard battlax? Noticeable difference or glad you switched?

Okay, you do‘nt need condoms… 😂

Hi, thanks for good video review. I have a 2022 H2Sx and experience as you show in the video at 18:38 that the screen is shaking in high speed (from 150 km/h and above) Just arrived home from a trip to the alps and same experience this year on the autobahn. Will have a trip to Germany again late July hopefully with a screen that is stable :-) I have the Kawasaki performance glass and consider the Powerbronze screen. Did you notice any difference in shaking at high speed?

I'm doing my motovlog journey in reverse, haha. Action 4 seems to offer the best bang for the buck, and I haven't noticed any distortion of that kind. Honestly, I can't tell any difference in image quality at 4k. So, after thinking it over, I made the switch and so far, no complaints. Still working out the mic game though. Glad to pick up some tips from you 👍 And it's a shame there's no Scotty in this episode 🤣

insta360 X4 all day. 🤙

GoPro are so unreliable best of luck with it. I use the Dji Action 3 and the Dji wireless mic system it's been awesome.

More to the point, how you getting on with the H2 now after a year or so with it👍🏽

Gotta say, the GoPro footage is so much better in my opinion🤷🏻‍♂️

I really hope that DJI taking a lot of their business makes Gopro get their act together. Far too many reliability problems for me. The mounting system is neanderthal, and the mic adapters and media mods are ridiculous money. I really hope the 12 behaves for you. 🤞
