As a comparison.....on paper....the Kawasaki H2 SX is about 60kgs lighter than the K1600GT and puts out another 30/40 bhp.
I’ve not owned a K1600 but did have a demo for the day when they first came out.
I have owned the H2 SX SE.I’ve also owned a Busa, a K1300S etc.
The H2 was/felt quicker than any of them.The Busa was ballistic but I think the Kwak was quicker still.Not owned a Busa for more than 15 years so memory may be failing !
The big difference with the H2 is that it’s very comfortable.I only got rid of mine due to health issues,but not directly related to comfort.
The handling is very good.Much lighter and more flickable than a Busa and from memory the K1600.Great roomy riding position, cruise, heated grips etc etc.
Panniers clip on and off just like a Ninja SX so no nasty frames when not in use.
The motor is obviously the star of the show.It’s insane !! But in a good way.
It’s VERY smooth and when you wind it past about 5000 revs the boost from the supercharger comes in and shoves you gently in the arse and keep it pinned to hear the blade tips go supersonic with a tell tale whine.
You will be gobsmacked the first time you open it up.
I’m not saying it’s better than the K1600, but it has more power and is MUCH lighter .If you need a bike for two up then the K1600 would be better but other than that I’d go Kawasaki all day.
The new Busa looks nice but it apparently still has a similar riding position to the old bike,with high pegs.
I toured on my old Busa and it hurt the knees after half a day.The H2 SX is pretty much all day comfy.I did a 2000 mile tour of the alps on mine and then a 2000 mile trip to Spain/Portugal .Brilliant bike.
And you could ride past Wapping at 186mph and flick him the bird !!
