Romans Back On A H2 SX SE
04/07/19 6:56 PM

Guys I'm back, New Ride will be a 2019 H2 SX SE. Should Interesting to say the least. Having owned 7 ZX14s in the past this will truly be a test of my ZX 14 Love And Loyalty. Just buying it is cheating in my brain. You guys know how much I love the big girl. So,,, with that being said we shall see. Curiosity Got The Best Of Me.

F'n sweet.You won't be disappointed Romes.Yer gonna love yer new spaceship.Just watch the tight cornering at lower speeds at first.Till ya get used to the feel.Happy for ya man...really.Color?I think yer gonna like it more than your 14.Sa'll good.Think I've ridden my 14 maybe 4 times since 2015 after I got my H2.Sc performance and all just has her beat.And comfy?Oh hell yeah.One of the really good things about the H2 motor,and H2 se motor is the ability to get quite a few more ponies out of em with minimal spending.Bulletproof as can be as well.It's not that I like my 14 less.It's just that the H2 is way more exciting to ride.Both excellent street bikes.I think for what you're gonna get,the pricing is very decent.IMO.
Glad to hear it's SE version.May as well.Totally top of the line fer sure.Again...way Ta GOOOO!

We're so glad to hear from you Romans. I'm trying my best to follow in your footsteps but it's pretty hard with you not being around the forum. AFR tuning learned, nitrous is next and then TURBO in a year or two.

I can't afford a lot of bikes one after the other but I think it's about time for a new one after ten years. Maybe an H2???? I'm really feeling the itch for a little 600. NEW Gen3 BUSA!!!! if it ever happens

Hey guys, glad to see your all still hanging in there. I had to take a break from motorcycles for awhile due to my lack of self control.(3 chases in two years,,,shhh)For me was just a matter of time. They were getting close.

So I switched to a cage. And let me tell you first hand it's Just not the same. Fun, But Not The Same Adrenalin Rush we sport bike guys need to feel whole.

I'm Not exactly sure why I think have more control now but willing to give it a shot. Bike was supposed to arrive today but no phone call. I'm trying to not get to pumped up about this bike but I am pretty stoked.

NEW Gen3 BUSA!!!! if it ever happens

Ahhhh, Rook I was waiting for this too. I already had my New Turbo picked out for it the works but could not wait any longer. I needed to get back on the seat of two wheels.

With a new 14 or busa there is room to build, can't do much with the H2. Except maybe RG-62 Kit. I'm telling myself I won't touch it but,,,,,,,

Hey, welcome back Romans.
The voice of reason returns.
There now should be more of a calming influence to all the unstable types here.
And yes, I include myself in that category...

Zoiks! There has to be an LSR course in Canada somewhere. IDK what I'm going to do. I can't get a serious motor vehicle violation now with the new job. I feel like the guy back in the day who said he rode his 14 at legal speeds because he was a dentist.

Glad you're back and I can't wait to here about the beast of an H2 you build.

Me too.

I gotta ask though----why an H2 that will be limited to ~225 hp with the factory SC and engine modifications when you were already used to 300 hp on a turboed 14R? You were asking the same question a few years back weren't you?

It's a nice enough bike. I'd definitely love to own one but I'd still hang onto my 14.

Ahhhh,,,, this was my 2 year Brain Cramp. Facts are simple. Nothing And I mean nothing new at 1000cc will Ever ever be able to run with a Big Block Boosted ZX-14 on the Fun Factor Scale. I don't care what crap gets posted. I let everyone ride my bikes,,,,just ask them lol. I was running 277 ftlbs of torque on the street. More on Tap if I wanted. Wicked Awesome. There are no words to describe that kind of instant tire ripping power. You just have to ride it.

Brock pulled what,,,240hp and 100ftlbs out of the h2 SX, something like that. I see a boosted 14 pull up,,,,, No Mass. I know.

It's really quite simple, I wanted A bike. Something new tech to play with. The 14 is old tech, what else can we do to the 14 that has not already done? We have(all of us)read this bike to death. There is no secrets left to reveal.

Don't misunderstand, the 14 is and will always be my true love. Until someone makes a 1500cc of course. Which all my hopes were with Suzuki but nope,,,,, never happened. Kawai Doing Zip. So here we are.

This bike is Not worth the money IMO but its something new. Then again, I have Never Ridden one. So really my opinion does not count. Time will tell.

My post may sound negative but I'm giving a truthful answer to your question Rook. Remember guys this is My opinion only.

I welcome your thoughts and opinions as well. Good or bad.

Cheers

Hey Romans, good to see you back. I have some interesting stories to tell you about the "CANADIAN BEAST" as I call your old bike. But as far as the new H2SE be careful what you do to it, it's not as bulletproof as the 14. A friend bought one had a pipe and tune done and wailed on it and blew the motor so caution is the by word for this bike. Another friend blew two pistons on a regular H2 that had that expensive intercooler but he had installed the different supercharger gear for more boost BAM went the motor.

Gotta have that one day. I just gotta have it!

Yes, definitely. A new engine in a new bike would hurt. As for myself, I fully expect I will blow mine up someday but it's already 10 years old so I could probably use a new motor anyway.

I'm hearing that.

A friend bought one had a pipe and tune done and wailed on it and blew the motor

A Tune eh ,,,,,,,, Interesting

I watched all the videos. Paying close attention to the AFR line. I got very Nervous watching full flies open dyno runs With No Fueling In The Tune. I literally had Goose bumps.

All pistons melt given the proper conditions. Watch it yourselves, closely look, instead of 11.5 to 11.8 the AFR line was showing 13.2 Plus. I would never dare to even try such a thing. But with intercoolers maybe they can get away with it. Maybe. Even My car tune is 11.8

If you listen to the tuner there was timing added in this tune ? When I raise boost I pull timing as you know. Dynamic compression changes with increased boost. Therefor we must change with it. Or Boom, then we blame gaskets, springs,rods,pistons etc. Yes I know pulling timing cost power. But, You know if Max Compression stroke is at top dead center. All Bad.

Bob from your Avatar I see your still riding above 200 mph on a regular basis lol. You top speed guys are a very special breed of motorcyclist. Curious what gears your running now?? Also you must be running the Meth Tank down pretty quick riding like that. Is it big enough ? Intercooler ???? Do tell.

Naaa, those 14s don't blow. Unless power adders come into the picture.

Ya, that's what I was talking about! 60-80 shot of nitrous first, turbo when I can afford it unless I need a new motor by that time!

Rick, it's funny that you come back now as your old bike is on the dyno right now with the new RCC water to air intercooler. You are right the meth tank was draining down quickly with the speeds we run so I ditched the meth system in favor of the intercooler. I can't wait to be able to cruise 150-180 without worrying about running out of meth.
