My mate gets his this Friday, green panniers are on back order now, they supplying grey until stock arrives, were off to Slovenia 3k +trip on 1st June so will be great to see how it compares.

I see from other threads you’ve got a nice 1290GT, is that what you’ll be taking? Be an interesting comparison, been loooking at them...
3k should be a good shake down; solo or 2 up?
Got to keep out this section.
Really REALLY! love the look of that bike.
Just about got the money I think after selling my watch. No.... I’m too old...
Can you hear the supercharger when accelerating Arsey ? Interested that you say the fuelling is spot on as thats about the only negative comment I've heard about it.
RBW.
If you wind it up the supercharger blade tips go supersonic and make a cool chirping noise .
Fuelling is fine. Mostly very smooth. The odd little hiccup common with most Euro 4 bikes. But it’s as smooth as my Versys 1000 was,that being the last inline 4 I owned .
The motor is beautiful and utterly ballistic . Really need to take it to mainland Europe ASAP !
The handling is also fantastic. Only managed 40/42 degrees lean L/R so far on local roads.
Quite possibly my favourite bike I’ve bought this year ����
Just for Nick M
Thank you. Your really twisting the knife.
I don't know really. Is the day of the hyper bike been and gone?
Europe used to be a high speed playground but things have changed.
France was a speed free-for-all but now clamping down big time, you get your licence yanked for a mere 112mph.
Spain is still good fun but a high speed pull is prosecuted as a criminal offence.
UK it's porridge time.
Coming to the end of my ZX12R stint it was getting frustrating holding the missile back all the time.
Nothing has changed in Hyper-bike speed the Busa & ZX12R reach 185 in less than half a minute.
The H2 will be a sublime ride and something different but little opportunity to give it the beans down to the South of Europe.
You will get away with short bursts of the beloved speed but that's it.
I want to test ride one of these when the fuss dies down, probably in NI.
It deffo needs a better hugger (more coverage) and a rad guard.
