Forget the supercharged engine. What is impressive about this bike is all of the rider "aids" that are included with this model. This bike has got everything you could possibly think of included in its $28K price tag and likely a few things that you never thought you might want or need. Way too much stuff for me, but still it is interesting to see what a motorcycle can be when the kitchen sink is tossed at it:  https://www.motorcycle.com/new-model-preview/your-2023-kawasaki-h2-sx-se-has-arrived-darling.html

Talk about the exact opposite of my Bullet.  ::)

As my old pal says "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing!" 8)

For my money I think the "retroish" Z900RS is about as modurne as you need to go. Most current 600s will add some grey hairs to you, they are waaay faster than most people's skill level. Public streets are a pretty random environment, especially at +110 MPH.
A trifecta of Pre-Unit Bullets: a Red Deluxe 500, a Green Standard 500, and a Black ES 350.

The self-repairing (it won't work if your GF scratches your bike with her keys) paint might be a useful touch. I seem to recall that Honda tried that with their Gold Wing about 20 years ago. After the first year of that option I never heard about it again.  And do we really need a motorcycle with enough onboard radar power to cook a burrito?
