Andy is wrapping up his time on the Kawasaki Z-H2 SE, so what are his final thoughts? Catch up on his thoughts after 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 4 months.
Finding myself with a couple of days available and with limited time remaining with this bike in my possession, I decided to plan a mini road trip. I have a great fondness for Scotland so plotted a route up to ride around the borders with an overnight stay. Now, as winter is fast approaching the smart thing to do would be to head south in search of better climates but I’m not into bikes necessarily for any sensible reasons, so the couple of days ..read more

Instead of lugging out all the buckets and sponges to wash off the storage dust, simply unscrew the lid of the Vulcanet tub and work section-by-section until all the dust and debris has gone; then buff to a high shine using the specially engineered microfibre cloth.
