Some will recognise the handle from another place. Some won't. Four decades of riding, currently own about a dozen bikes ancient and modern, and have owned a fair few over the years (I stopped counting a few years ago, at 300).

Decided that if Kawasaki was going to bring out another ground-breaking bike, I'd have one this time.

Excellent! Welcome, there's a few just like you already here. Congratulations on the new acquisition.

Welcome,

So have you actually received your bike yet, or are you still waiting?

Great to have you here.

What bikes have you owned in the past?

Welcome to the club

Belated reply - been on holiday. Picked the bike up two days ago.

Previously owned bikes - too many to list. I stopped counting at 300, and that was years ago. Might be easier simply to list the makes:

All the Japanese, Triumph, BMW, Norton, Moto Guzzi, Ducati, Moto Morini, MZ. I think that's it.

H2 - still running it in, obviously. Bloody heavy clutch, and I keep hitting the mode shifter buttons instead of the indicator switch.

And I'm running it in in rain mode initially, so it's a bit like a 600. Taking it for a 350 mile trip this weekend, so will switch rain mode off for that.

Enjoy, it is quite the fantastic experience!
