You were the custodian for a time of maybe one of the most outstanding bikes ever made and will always be able to say, I once owned one of them. Not many can say that!
Fantastic way to capture how emotive motorbikes make us feel! 🎉 Defo a right call and yet it's a journey you've been on and now you have all the memories from it.
Good decision Chopsie, an incredible machine that gave you endless smiles and years of enjoyment. But you could see the relief on your face once it went - the right decision for you bud. So… what next????
Beautiful bike, I don't think I'd sell it I'd sell of a few other bikes and keep it , But we're all different 👍, GT Kawasaki South Wales several weeks ago had a new one with a good few thousand pounds off 😮 ,
We never real own anything, we are merely stewards for a time. What a wonderful machine, and while it’s sad to see it go (and I get it, I get very attached to mechanical things, especially bikes) it’s on to the next!
Not only did your H2 videos attract me to find your channel, but it also made me more interested in motovloggers in general. I never would have made a motorcycle purchase without watching hours and hours of content. So, in a roundabout way, the H2 helped to nudge me into riding when i purchased my first bike at 35 years old. Thank you, Chopsy. Beautiful video and send-off. She'll be cherished for generations.
Sad to see the H2 go Chops! You owned and rode it, and that's a dream for the most of us I recon. Thank you that you made some videos about it for our entertainment😊
Bro, I sold my 2015 first series H2 in 2021 and I could cry right now. Miss the bike terribly. It is simply the GOAT! Take care and thanks for your beautiful videos
What a cracking and fitting farewell - what a bike! Good idea moving it on though, you've enyoyed it, got it out of your system - time to try something else.....
You just might be the only H2 Owner that never got pulled over and ticked 😂 Consider that one hell of an achievement!! Absolutely enjoyed all the content Chops!! Thank You😊
Big moment for you mate. I guess you've got to do what you feel is right. Have really enjoyed the H2 videos. Its an absolute weapon of a bike! Fair play to Kawasaki for engineering this incredible piece of machinery. 🙌🏼
You've owned and ridden one of the great iconic bikes, the like of which we'll never see again. Not only that you shared the experience. Now it's time to move on. Looking forward to the future
You have my empathy. I'm getting rid of my much loved Victory. It breaks my heart to sell it but the time's right. Hopefully someone will love him as much as I do
Got through a whole box of tissues watching that. Life's too short to not try more bikes and projects - thanks for sharing the journey with us! Hope it pays for a bath tub or two...
My 'busa will be missed when it goes. For it will be the last bike I ever ride. (apart from a DRZ400 I'm interested in🤣🤣) But for now, I have many summers ahead, the great spaghetti monster in the sky permitting. For you Chopps, it's the start of another chapter. Go forth and head for new horizons and let the fire of the spirit of H2 burn within. Let it be the benchmark that guides your next outrageous adventure. We will get the popcorn and witness the spectacle as it unfolds. 👍👍🤘🤘
You got me back into biking after several years out. I've a lot of respect for your quality content and the videos you provide to the community. Sorry to see the H2 go, but I get it. What a fantstic machine to have owned. Thanks Chopsy. Happy new year, looking forward to seeing the content
I know how you feel chops. Back in the early 90's I sold my RC30 and look at how much they are worth now. I often think I should have kept it. Kudo's to you mate for experiencing something in life that goes beyond just a owning another bike. These things are special and no doubt in years to come you will say to yourself why did I get rid of that. But hey, it's now for you to decide your next adventure. All the best.
To be honest, as much as I love the bike if you've only done 4000 miles in 8 years on it then I don't personally see the point in keeping it.. too many people worried about keeping their mileage low and refusing to buy bikes with over 10k miles.
I was lucky enough to purchase an H2R when they first came out, it's got 12 miles on it and it's in my collection never to be sold, it's just a thing of beauty that's way to fast for my local tracks 😂
I can't sell mine, even if I have 4 other more user friendly bikes, had it out today and the whole experience riding this machine is just something else, it just put a grin on my face, of course having it in Spain is much better than the UK;-) sorry for your loss😢😉
Still to this day one of the most epic sounding and beautiful bikes I’ve ever seen down at Loomies. What a special machine and imho a work of art. I totally understand your decision. I also love Ducatis.. 😉
Fibonacci showed how perception of time compresses as we age. This means riding seasons become shorter and opportunities to experience new things become more important than replaying the same old stuff over and over. You will notice that experiencing the perception of time while doing something completely new is vastly different than riding that same bike again. I consider it a wise choice.
4300 miles in 8 years…..it was time. I would put as many miles as I could have….but I live out in the middle of BFE in Wisconsin. That motorcycle was made for the American Western States, thousands of miles of backcountry roads, no traffic to speak of, empty as many tanks in a day as one can stand….nothing else like riding around 150+ mph for miles n miles. At least you owned one, a beautiful machine.
Dream ticked off chops. Not many have em. Consider yourself a lucky man. Unicorn machines are getting rarer and u enjoyed it n not just looked at it. Bravo to you sir👍😎👍
Your H2 was certainly a lot of bike to lament over, so I feel your pain. Even though I'll never have something like that adorning my garage, parting company with my own (modest by comparison) steed, would still be an equally emotive experience. Mind you, you'd think having owned 20 bikes in 50 years, I'd have got used to it.....but I've missed them all and would have them all back in a heart beat! Can't wait to see what projects you've got lined up this year, now you've 'supercharged' a bit of space in your garage😅. Take care for now.
Just rewatching your vid with the h2 against tmf in the plane and bruce on the ktm. (Some electric thing too) great vid! Hope to see another collab again soon.
Great vid, as others have said better to have lost than never loved at al. I am a bit like you with my Suzuki B-King had it since new (2011) thought about selling it but cannot bring myself to sell it 🤣 Love the channel 👍
Youve owned and experienced the H2, nothing wrong with letting go, you have to do right by you mate!! Id be going for the diavel you took out!! I miss mine so much so im biased 😂 All the best from Manchester pal.
Sad to see the H2 going Chopsy !! But you said it yourself not started in 8 months mate !!!amazing bike and you have had plenty of fun and done all the mods so time to move on 👍👍 I always regret selling any bikes I have had as I always keep them spotless like you do with yours . Onwards and upwards mate .👍👍😁 and you have plenty of footage of it to reminisce .👍
I have a feeling that very shortly after it's gone you'll have an itch to ride it again. It really is special, more than anything out there in my opinion.
It is what it is Chops. Shame it's going but you seem at peace with the decision so it's the right one, despite what other people may say. If you're not using it, makes sense to move it on & free up the cash to use on your other bike projects.Very Interested to see what you get up to this year.
what a presence the h2 has and to top it off it's dripping in carbon and the spec is special , the new owner will be happy for sure. but 25k is better in your back pocket than sat in your garage , so are you going to buy the gsxs gt now 👍🏼
Would have loved to seen Al Fagan ride it & give his thoughts on what you've done to it...but your head has made the right decision, and your heart will fall in love with something else ( diavel with those exhausts perhaps lol). End of a dream !
Just wait till the next bike turns up, one you can ride and enjoy rather than worry about and look at. Be happy you've owned one and get the next bike bought 😁 I should really listen to myself 🤣🤣
As much as I understand your reasons for selling (and this is my 1st ever RUclips comment!) I am actually quite sad you are selling it. And I suspect you may regret it down the line? A unique one off bike that is unlikely to be repeated in our lifetime. But as others have said, better to have loved and lost…onwards and upwards my virtual friend.
Not ever been a fan, I mean the engine is pretty cool, but haven’t liked a kawi road bike since the noughties! Flog it! Nice vid to remember it though.
It's sad to see her go, but you hit it on the head. I got rid of my turbo Hayabusa because it was just unusable on the street. IT rode fine, but it was like a caged tiger on a caffeine bender. Time for a new adventure!
It’s going to keep you up at night parting with it , we all have that one bike we regret selling mine was a 2019 Harley Davidson CVO Street Glide with a 131 engine and unbelievable torque , a ultimate touring bike that would hit 100 MPH in 3rd gear and it had a 6 speed transmission and with a PV tuner , Fuel Moto header
Not gonna lie, I envy you... I was looking at H2 a year ago, but decided that for now it is just too much of a bike for me. My only hope is that in couple of years either Kawasaki or some other manufacturer decides to make beast like this again.
Bravo Kawasaki for making it and bravo Chopsy for owning one and tweaking it to suit you!! A thing of mechanical beauty but like all the modern superbikes totally irrelevant for the road when even 1st or 2nd gear will get you chucked in prison 🤣🤣🤣🤣 A sad day but more projects in the garage will ease the pain...
Just from reading the title, I want to say that if you have a gem of a bike / instrument you love but don't use, then it should go to someone else who will while you make space in your life for something new
Better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all....
That was exactly what I was going to comment. You beat ne to it :)
this!
Noooooo😢
Incoming the new streetfighter v4s 😅. Fair play chops. I bet that was a tough call.
As Mel Gibson and Danny Glover once said - we're getting too old for this sh*t...😉
You were the custodian for a time of maybe one of the most outstanding bikes ever made and will always be able to say, I once owned one of them. Not many can say that!
Great vid, mate. Better to have loved and lost and all that!
Thanks Michael appreciated buddy 👍
1 owner from new never dropped 😉
Fantastic way to capture how emotive motorbikes make us feel! 🎉 Defo a right call and yet it's a journey you've been on and now you have all the memories from it.
I have H2 and now I know to keep it, if I stop using it I'd be quite happy to just stare at it 😅 my condolences, Mr Chops😢
its the right decision at the moment , but in a few months even years you will wish it was still in the garage
That is what I was thinking..😢
You should have bought two chopsy.
One for daily use and trashing it.
A second one as a garage queen/ investment...
He will, but nothing is forever.
Good decision Chopsie, an incredible machine that gave you endless smiles and years of enjoyment. But you could see the relief on your face once it went - the right decision for you bud.
So… what next????
Thanks Bruce, appreciated buddy 👍 Not sure what's next Bruce, but certainly not ruling something new out 👍
@@LambChopRides Diaval !!!
One of us Chopsy viewers better buy it and keep it in the Fam!
What could possibly make more sense than selling a bike to free up space than immediately taking up that space with another bike? 😅
Haha yes 🤣 done that before too! 😆
Beautiful bike, I don't think I'd sell it I'd sell of a few other bikes and keep it , But we're all different 👍,
GT Kawasaki South Wales several weeks ago had a new one with a good few thousand pounds off 😮 ,
You made the right decision chops, like you said it's just too much for the road.
We never real own anything, we are merely stewards for a time. What a wonderful machine, and while it’s sad to see it go (and I get it, I get very attached to mechanical things, especially bikes) it’s on to the next!
That’s one cool looking machine …gone .😊😮
My sincere condolences Chopps.

Fabulous story thanks Dude for sharing 👍
Great video and amazing bit of editing at the beginning, excited too see what new chapters bring 👍🏻
Sad to see the H2 go Chops! You owned and rode it, and that's a dream for the most of us I recon. Thank you that you made some videos about it for our entertainment😊
Bro, I sold my 2015 first series H2 in 2021 and I could cry right now. Miss the bike terribly. It is simply the GOAT! Take care and thanks for your beautiful videos
Thanks, you too!
The race against the airplane is still one of the best RUclips videos I have ever watched.
Thanks buddy, was a good one that 👍
Your love for motorcycles remains infectious 😊
Keep up this fantastic channel and move forward 💪
Thanks buddy 👍
What a cracking and fitting farewell - what a bike! Good idea moving it on though, you've enyoyed it, got it out of your system - time to try something else.....
Thanks Andy appreciated buddy! Might just be able to afford that Wing now 👌😄👍
I think you summed it up perfectly. Nice to ride one but not to own.
You just might be the only H2 Owner that never got pulled over and ticked 😂 Consider that one hell of an achievement!! Absolutely enjoyed all the content Chops!! Thank You😊
Your welcome Michael thanks 👍
Big moment for you mate. I guess you've got to do what you feel is right. Have really enjoyed the H2 videos. Its an absolute weapon of a bike! Fair play to Kawasaki for engineering this incredible piece of machinery. 🙌🏼
You've owned and ridden one of the great iconic bikes, the like of which we'll never see again. Not only that you shared the experience. Now it's time to move on. Looking forward to the future
You have my empathy. I'm getting rid of my much loved Victory. It breaks my heart to sell it but the time's right. Hopefully someone will love him as much as I do
I bet that was a tough video to put together, but what a memento video for a bike you’ve adored, the next owner is going to love it👌🏽👍🏼
Thanks Mike 👍
Got through a whole box of tissues watching that. Life's too short to not try more bikes and projects - thanks for sharing the journey with us! Hope it pays for a bath tub or two...
My 'busa will be missed when it goes. For it will be the last bike I ever ride. (apart from a DRZ400 I'm interested in🤣🤣) But for now, I have many summers ahead, the great spaghetti monster in the sky permitting. For you Chopps, it's the start of another chapter. Go forth and head for new horizons and let the fire of the spirit of H2 burn within. Let it be the benchmark that guides your next outrageous adventure. We will get the popcorn and witness the spectacle as it unfolds. 👍👍🤘🤘
I sold an appreciating bike that I rarely used about 18 months ago. No regrets at all.
Good to know 👍
Great bike, sad times, loads of happy memories. You had your dream bike.
You got me back into biking after several years out. I've a lot of respect for your quality content and the videos you provide to the community. Sorry to see the H2 go, but I get it. What a fantstic machine to have owned. Thanks Chopsy.
Happy new year, looking forward to seeing the content
That's amazing to hear Jason 👍
Thank god for motorcycle manufacturers pushing the boundaries otherwise we never have iconic Bikes, thanks Chopsey. I feel your pain. lol 👍
Loved your vids with this beast!! … It’s been emotional!!
The Ducati supermoto got u wanting one 😊
Aside from your decals, that beauty was the most tastefully specced I've seen! 🤯
It’s time to say goodbye 😢. Nice compilation video , memories for ever . Well done Chops .
I know how you feel chops. Back in the early 90's I sold my RC30 and look at how much they are worth now. I often think I should have kept it. Kudo's to you mate for experiencing something in life that goes beyond just a owning another bike.

Great video Chops! I was actually welling up at the end.
You and me both Dave haha 😄 👍
Thanks for sharing those feelings with the motorcyclist community…we understand you very well…. I hope serenity can replace the love lost
Chops 😭 just 😭 i have loved the channel for time, hopefully you move to bigger and better, but still not the H2 😭 doghouse!!
Good decision Chops 👍 happy new year dude hope you have a great 2025 😊 Pete 👍👍
Thanks pete 👍
Time to say goodbye😢 That's how I was with my Daytona Moto2❤ I hope it goes to good home, Chopsie!
To be honest, as much as I love the bike if you've only done 4000 miles in 8 years on it then I don't personally see the point in keeping it.. too many people worried about keeping their mileage low and refusing to buy bikes with over 10k miles.
I brought my vrf with 32,000 on the clock just run in.
Start the year with a smile looking at that bank statement 😂😂good luck with new purchases a v4 just coming over the horizon.👍
I was lucky enough to purchase an H2R when they first came out, it's got 12 miles on it and it's in my collection never to be sold, it's just a thing of beauty that's way to fast for my local tracks 😂
Same here, a H2R 2019. As long as i life the bike stays. After that my dearest may decide 😅
I can't sell mine, even if I have 4 other more user friendly bikes, had it out today and the whole experience riding this machine is just something else, it just put a grin on my face, of course having it in Spain is much better than the UK;-) sorry for your loss😢😉
Still to this day one of the most epic sounding and beautiful bikes I’ve ever seen down at Loomies. What a special machine and imho a work of art. I totally understand your decision. I also love Ducatis.. 😉
Omg Chopsy! Feel for you!! 😢 gave us some great content! Much love!! ❤
Gutted for you Chopsy, but like you said, expensive bit of kit to have just lying around. It’s the right move…. Onwards and upwards 👊
the memories will be forever! and what a claim to have owned a beauty of a bike! On to the next adventure chops ❤

Time for another chapter mate, happy memories
He never rode it, never got past prologue.
Thanks Inspector 👍
only four minutes in, but your episode looks pretty slick. professional.
Dream ticked off chops. Not many have em. Consider yourself a lucky man. Unicorn machines are getting rarer and u enjoyed it n not just looked at it. Bravo to you sir👍😎👍
It’s always sad to say goodbye to a great old friend….but you just know when it’s time….🙁…..and on to the next one with some fond memories…..

Yeah it's a cracking video that, we really do need to do something again
Incredible bike, sorry for your loss!😂
I can feel a Ducati street fighter incoming!
You and me both! I hope it's not too good!
Great vid, as others have said better to have lost than never loved at al. I am a bit like you with my Suzuki B-King had it since new (2011) thought about selling it but cannot bring myself to sell it 🤣 Love the channel 👍

Thanks Wattie 👍
Finally space for the Goldwing or GS, lol 🤣😂🤣. What a machine, surely the equivalent of a mega car , ie, Bugatti, Zonda, La Ferrari etc! 👏👍
Great vid. We have all been through this. It's great that you will always have the footage to reminisce. What's comminh next😂
I have a feeling that very shortly after it's gone you'll have an itch to ride it again.
It really is special, more than anything out there in my opinion.
What an insane crazy bike! And expensive, but hey you lived the dream chopsie 😢😅
It is what it is Chops. Shame it's going but you seem at peace with the decision so it's the right one, despite what other people may say. If you're not using it, makes sense to move it on & free up the cash to use on your other bike projects.Very Interested to see what you get up to this year.

Very fitting tribute to an outstanding motorcycle. You’ll always enjoy the memory. Nice video
Thank you kindly 🙏

Omg Chops 😮 😮 😮
The BEAST......
Amazing bike! Your one of the few to own and ride it! Nothing stays the same
Bless ya. Mate
Great video. Emotions❤️. Tough letting them go.
It is a cracking bit of engineering.
Not ever been a fan, I mean the engine is pretty cool, but haven’t liked a kawi road bike since the noughties! Flog it! Nice vid to remember it though.
It's sad to see her go, but you hit it on the head. I got rid of my turbo Hayabusa because it was just unusable on the street. IT rode fine, but it was like a caged tiger on a caffeine bender. Time for a new adventure!
NO 😢😢😢💚
yup, feel the same way when I sold my H2SXSE 220 horsepower, I miss it dearly, everything else is just so slow........
It’s going to keep you up at night parting with it , we all have that one bike we regret selling mine was a 2019 Harley Davidson CVO Street Glide with a 131 engine and unbelievable torque , a ultimate touring bike that would hit 100 MPH in 3rd gear and it had a 6 speed transmission and with a PV tuner , Fuel Moto header
Not gonna lie, I envy you... I was looking at H2 a year ago, but decided that for now it is just too much of a bike for me. My only hope is that in couple of years either Kawasaki or some other manufacturer decides to make beast like this again.
That intro is 🔥
Sorry for your loss. Onwards and upwards, Choppsy!
Hope it finds a good home
Great video ❤😢
Bravo Kawasaki for making it and bravo Chopsy for owning one and tweaking it to suit you!!
A thing of mechanical beauty but like all the modern superbikes totally irrelevant for the road when even 1st or 2nd gear will get you chucked in prison 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A sad day but more projects in the garage will ease the pain...
The trophy bike of ALL trophy bikes.
Just from reading the title, I want to say that if you have a gem of a bike / instrument you love but don't use, then it should go to someone else who will while you make space in your life for something new
What a amazing machine unfortunately I'll never have the money to buy one but my s1000GT will do for now lol.
Time to say goodbye, playing Sarah Brightman Andre Bocelli is a very sad tune 🎵😂
Very fitting huh, I actually couldn't monetize the video because I use it but had to be done 👍
Nice ending touch with Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli! Sorry to see it go Chops! That bike would be way too much for me to handle so kudos there..
Such a great machine , goodbye baby , I wish you can find a good home.
Great decision - worth more than they're actually worth.
Was sad to hear you selling the H2 Chopsey but memories last forever. 😢
Love this bike so much sad day.
Allways hard to let them go that won’t b at rotate long ❤
Great bike, awesome review - unsure about the dodgy background music though - the bikes engine alone would have been better ;)
Nice one Choppsie. Bike looks Dope.
