MCN VERDICT
RICHARD NEWLAND DEPUTY EDITOR
If you want a relaxed tourer or a 200bhp superbike, there are better options. But if you want a genuine continent-shrinking sports-tourer, something capable of carrying plenty of luggage, cosseting you in comfort, whisking you to your destination, and indulging lurid hedonism on everything from autobahns to Alpine passes, choose the H2 SX.
The supercharger is more than a compressor of air, it forcibly shrinks roads and time and makes an otherwise conventional bike feel quite extraordinary.
