WIfe's Birthday party last night so not had much time to look at the bike or even get it out. And still to cold
If I were in the position to spend the same amount on a bike I'd not have looked at anything else....NOTHING comes close right now for the money.All the best, I can't wait to see/hear it in the flesh

Absolutely this. If I were in the position to spend the same amount on a bike I'd not have looked at anything else....NOTHING comes close right now for the money.All the best, I can't wait to see/hear it in the flesh
Proper monster.
Well first ride out yesterday with 2 mates who now both have a BMW S1000 R. One on a 14 and one on a 16 plate
Was intending to just add a few miles via Chepstow to Abergavenny and then off for a brekky and Tea at Honey Cafe.
But we ended up at Elan valley in the end a 100 miles from me .
AS it was my first ride since Oct my wrists and hips hurt a little after 200 miles but no more than it would have on my Blade
Thoughts on the H2.
Even through the Bike is quiet a bit heaver than my Old Blade it feels very light when riding. Easy to turn.
My God does it accelerate and just want to keep on going. Most of the time I was trying to keep it under 4k. A few times once I was past the first 100 miles I loaded the bike up to 8k. but most of the time it was kept under 6k.
I have the bike set to the pussy mode at the moment just to get me used to it. Setting 3 on the dash. Unsure if it's less power or more interruption from the electronics.
The Bike is really easy to ride, seat is comfy and easy to move on the bike.
The Quick shifter is great but not got around to looking at all the settings and having a play with it yet.
The dash showed after 200 miles I've averaged 32MPG. Which is quiet a but less than my Blades average of 45-50MPG + but I did not buy the bike for good MPG.
I think I got around 100 miles max until the fuel light came on
Still a very easy bike to ride, I had no issues around town, twistys or on fast open roads
Very happy with my choice of bike
