Found your channel several years ago and it’s been an absolute blast enjoying your content while following this amazing journey you have put yourself on. You’ve had me and my Mrs. in right stitches at times, and all the while we’ve been cheering for your successes. Keep up the great work Chops you’re a good man👏
I can’t wait for the ZXR 750 H2 restoration, it was that bike that really captured my imagination when it came to race replicas. even by today’s standards it still looks stunning, the best looking petrol tank in the business.
I still have a sign from my Dad's garage where he restored and maintained so many bikes, nearly all British and many from rusty basket cases. Anyway, the sign says "a bike on the road is worth 2 in the shed". With such a glorious shed having 5 splendid bikes and 0 on the road deserves a very special sign all of your own .. . Chopsy, pull your finger out!! I have my 07 Hyper ready for the season, updates for touring and the odd track day, can't wait to see progress on yours and much cash spunked all over her. Onwards, Chopsy!!
Impressive inventory of motorbikes - you are one up on me and maybe a more interesting mix 🤔. Currently in my garage: 2019 KTM 690 Enduro, 2020 Husqvarna FE350, 2020 Triumph Street Triple RS and recently a new Ducati DesertX. I must say your garage is top shelf - well done.
When you said that you would never sell the 690 SMC R, I'm completely convinced that these supermotos by KTM, Husqvarna and Gas Gas are probably one the best all around motorcycles to have. Now I'm planning to buy a 24' 701 SM and build that up to my preference and never, never sell it! Truly appreciated your build videos on yours!
Yes Sean Chops youre right the price of the Ninja H2 is going up and up and up ,im so glad i got my H2 when i did brand new in 2021 , i wont be selling the H2 any time soon …hope you will join us on the Ninja H2 meet this coming soon this season … keep up with the good work brother love your videos 💚
Awesome channel chops one of my favourite, can’t believe how long you’ve owned some of these bikes gone so quick to when they first appeared on the channel. Keep up the good work
Love the enthusiasm for completing the H2. I thought my P model would take about 6 months, nearly 18 months later its nearly complete 😂. Love the channel.
@6:28 a little rattle can special turned into a full blown restomod! Don't beat yourself up to bad because it could of happened to anyone of us😂😂😂! The wife has permanently banned me from Facebook Marketplace but I still have PH😜
Absolutely love your videos chopsy it's like a mate taking you round your garage I could listen to you for ages just talking bikes. It was great to meet and see you at the 44 teeth cinema show and great to see what a normal geeser you are.. right enough soppy chat 🤣😉👍
Just you talking about the parts you've replaced plus all the other expense on the rebuild ect , my wallet is cringing in my pocket, I'm definitely no tight arse but ifs so easy to blow mony on upgrades, I've been riding just short of 50 years, all I can say, I admire your dedication to improve and preserve these machines ,
Hey mate. Can tell you’re a Pom with all the jazzed up blinged up race replicas. Here in NZ most people would be happy with a trusty DR 650, and if they were lucky a a Honda postie bike. Different spokes for different folks eh. 😊
Thanks for the update Chopsey (almost forgot how many you had), I saw the video of you dropping the H2 when you uploaded it, so gutting and annoying, but we've all done it.
Looking forward to this later. We all know that the answer to the related question ("How many bikes should I have/do I need?") is "n+1", yes? Where n = current stable. Yours, 🏍🏍🏍 + "what next?"
Have been watching lots of your videos lately LCR, thanks for your content. Great collection you have there. Keep up the great videos. Best wishes & safe riding.
Great collection chopsy , plenty to do , look forward to the Ducati and the Kawasaki rebuilds .👍 that's what happens now you have the double garage !! More bikes 😀😀 you'll need a triple garage soon .😁 ps love that bike lifter .👍
Really looking forward to seeing your video on the SMCR thumb brake. Your KTM looks awesome, my 701 got plenty of mods after watching you videos, keep them coming👍👍
As always another great video. Don't get me wrong, I do love your bike reviews but these videos just feel a little more personal. Like we are getting to know you and your bikes better 😉 So thank you very much for having us 'round to yours ' and sharing your fantastic machines with us. Can't wait to see the fleet all restored/ repaired and knowing you, probably looking better than when they first rolled out of the showroom 👍 Keep up the great work Chopsey All the best Russ
Dont't worry, N+1. im going to go probably buy my sixth bike today. a 1990 Kawasaki ZXR400. at home i have a 14 S1000R a 17 Tuono V4RR a 90 Suzuki GSXR 250R and a GSXR750 K7 trackbike and a CBR125R for gocart tracks. my girlfriend has a 22 GSXS750 and a GSXR600 K7 track bike.. i need a bigger garage ASAP! and uhm.. more bikes.. lots more bikes :-)
fyi motocomposits is coming out with a carbon fiber swing arm cover(mine will be 1st one out) for the H2 and R&G has a swing arm slider that is really a rear axle slide for the H2
Enjoyed this video even more than usual 👍 it has a ‘Harry’s Garage’ feel to it. Hopefully a more regular feature? Like the detailed info on each bike and your feelings and future plans on each.
A nice gang of bikes. I bought a Moto-Composites Carbon kit for my ZX14 R but it does not fit well and it would not have been mocked up to check for fit at all as very little of it lines up. It is a big Dremel job with me having to hack pieces apart to make them fit. I am a Fitter, I have worked in auto manufacturing and I know how to make things get together but this does not work. Single piece items are probably ok, like on LRC's H2, but the kit on my bike has many different joining points making it complex but they were not tested. Just a word of warning.
Nice videos I had 4 bikes at one point what drove me crazy was the yearly service and MOTs . Found some never got ridden as put at end of row now down to two more manageable
Just started blogging. Wondered what you think about the speedo showing minor speeding? Should I cover it? Can they prosecute ? Let me know what you think of Dave XR motorcycles if you have time.
Congratulations 007. You have built a wonderful collection of very tasteful bikes, to ride, enjoy and admire. And just like your bikes, your sense of humour has only improved over the years, especially when it comes to your Hyper 😂
Dream Bikes👌! KTM 690 it is just so much fun, and so i bought it.Gxsr was second choice but i live on Finland so cant ride sportbikes alldays but KTM can go all weather and all🌨️🌤️⛈️☀️ season.♥️ Btw That H2 IS so hot!!!🔥🔥
Totally not surprised to see you having five bikes. After all, the ideal number is n+1, n being the number you currently own. However, I was quite surprised to learn 2008 was 15 years ago :O Ride safe and keep up the good work!
I have five myself, which feels like too many to take care of and use for a person with other interests and responsibilities. My personal rule is to put 500 miles/year on each or I should sell it. Doesn't sound like much, but crazy 2022 of work and family responsibilities I didn't even register three of them after June '22. It is easy to accumulate a nice harem: just don't sell the one(s) you have due to refusing to give them away in trades or private sale, and still want and buy new (used) ones as good deals come up. With that said my depreciation argument is largely moot as most are worth more than I paid, I need to find another reason not to sell any of them. "Downsizing" of job responsibilities and only child leaving for University this fall means I will have another garage bay and more free time. '23/24 will be different I may need to add a couple more...
Loving the whole new garage.....and seeing the collection in their full glory. I'm NOT jealous in the slightest......Looking forward to the builds!! TTFN
So so jealous of you garage and bikes. Look how far you've come. Congratulations buddy. From your CBR build to now. Incredible. I've watch and learnt alot from your vids. 🙏🏼 I'm looking at selling my s1000rr. Getting I 2009 road track bike, super naked and a 1999 classic for them special days. Just want to say a massive thank you for sharing your knowledge. 👍🏼🍻

In love with the Gixxer 😍😍....
I can’t wait for the ZXR 750 H2 restoration, it was that bike that really captured my imagination when it came to race replicas. even by today’s standards it still looks stunning, the best looking petrol tank in the business.
That H2 is a beauty. The scuffs just show shes been out and about!

Great selection of bikes Lamb Chop. GSX-R is still my favourite.
Very jealous of your Gixxer and ZX mind Chopsy. Beautiful collection of bikes
Yea mate , it’s because you love motorbikes (greatest love of all) and you can have that many , variety is the spice of life.
Another corker Chopsy! Enjoyed that, pure enthusiasm and knowledge - love it!
Cheers Andy 🍻 hey maybe a future guest appearance?
Fantastic! You turn everything you touch into motorcycle beauty. You are a great inspiration to us all.😊
The ZXR750 was my first brand new “big” bike. I absolutely loved it. Great video, thanks for the memories. 👍😎🇦🇺
Impressive inventory of motorbikes - you are one up on me and maybe a more interesting mix 🤔. Currently in my garage: 2019 KTM 690 Enduro, 2020 Husqvarna FE350, 2020 Triumph Street Triple RS and recently a new Ducati DesertX. I must say your garage is top shelf - well done.
Pretty nice selection of bikes there Paul! 👌
Really like the KTM, cool to hear you say you wouldn't sell it, says a lot about it. As for the rest... Amazing, a real dream garage.
As long as the 690 stays i do too! Came for the smcr series and love how the bike ended up❤
When you said that you would never sell the 690 SMC R, I'm completely convinced that these supermotos by KTM, Husqvarna and Gas Gas are probably one the best all around motorcycles to have. Now I'm planning to buy a 24' 701 SM and build that up to my preference and never, never sell it! Truly appreciated your build videos on yours!
Thanks buddy! Yes you are correct fantastic fun motorcycles 👍
Yes Sean Chops youre right the price of the Ninja H2 is going up and up and up ,im so glad i got my H2 when i did brand new in 2021 , i wont be selling the H2 any time soon …hope you will join us on the Ninja H2 meet this coming soon this season … keep up with the good work brother love your videos 💚
Awesome channel chops one of my favourite, can’t believe how long you’ve owned some of these bikes gone so quick to when they first appeared on the channel. Keep up the good work
What a beautiful collection of bikes, you really take care of them too
Your videos are always a pleasure Chopsy 🙂 The most relatable vlogger in TH-cam land 👍
Wow, thank you 🙌👍
Love the enthusiasm for completing the H2. I thought my P model would take about 6 months, nearly 18 months later its nearly complete 😂. Love the channel.
Wow U had a zxr in your childhood .. respect man !
Really enjoyed that John and a superb selection of bikes. That GSXR though…..!😍
Thanks matey 👍
Stunning collection ❤❤
I’m eager to see the thumb brake kit. I’d like to install one on my bikes. They make a lot on sense IMO.
What a great and varied selection of bikes. Can’t wait to see all the restoration work. 👌
Thanks Richard 👍
@6:28 a little rattle can special turned into a full blown restomod! Don't beat yourself up to bad because it could of happened to anyone of us😂😂😂! The wife has permanently banned me from Facebook Marketplace but I still have PH😜
Great to see our flooring still looking fresh 🔥👌🏻
Yeah still like the day you fitted it!! 🙌
The good old N+1 formula where N=the number of bikes you already own 😂😂
Alternatively expressed as S - 1. Where S is the number of bikes that will cause your partner to separate from you.
2023 is wheelie time for Chopsy Gixxer and SMCR can't wait for the action! 👍
I watched one of the first Hypermotard videos in the week, you said it would be done in about 2 months, that’s a 2 year old video!😂
This makes me feel good cause i am at 4 bikes right now. Yes!
You can buy some GB racing engine case covers for the Kawasaki H2? Great protection. Maybe polish the vandemon exhuast to save some money?
Loving the way you did up the garage own two bikes Gsxs 1000 2022 and CCM 604 2002 fun on back roads
Great collection chops.. favs for me are h2, smcr, gsxr and Zxr can’t wait to see the vids on these ❤ 👍👍🤩🏅👏 roll on 2023
Cant wait for both project. Love those bikes
Absolutely love your videos chopsy it's like a mate taking you round your garage I could listen to you for ages just talking bikes. It was great to meet and see you at the 44 teeth cinema show and great to see what a normal geeser you are.. right enough soppy chat 🤣😉👍
Both Kawasaki’s are gorgeous 😍
Just you talking about the parts you've replaced plus all the other expense on the rebuild ect , my wallet is cringing in my pocket,
I'm definitely no tight arse but ifs so easy to blow mony on upgrades, I've been riding just short of 50 years, all I can say, I admire your dedication to improve and preserve these machines ,

Beautiful bikes, well looked after 👍
Always find your videos relaxing.. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the update Chopsey (almost forgot how many you had), I saw the video of you dropping the H2 when you uploaded it, so gutting and annoying, but we've all done it.
So good to watch more than just bike reviews. Good work Chopsy.
Keep up the great work chops! Love the channel. Can't wait for the ZXR restoration!
Looking forward to this later.
We all know that the answer to the related question ("How many bikes should I have/do I need?") is "n+1", yes? Where n = current stable.
Yours, 🏍🏍🏍 + "what next?"
What a garage! I could live in it. Out of these, I'd like the KTM.
Have been watching lots of your videos lately LCR, thanks for your content. Great collection you have there. Keep up the great videos. Best wishes & safe riding.
Thanks Shawn appreciated 🙏
Great collection chopsy , plenty to do , look forward to the Ducati and the Kawasaki rebuilds .👍 that's what happens now you have the double garage !! More bikes 😀😀 you'll need a triple garage soon .😁 ps love that bike lifter .👍
Good to hear you'll never sell the 69SMCR. I have the 701 SM and have the same attitude. It's just too much fun.
Many thanks for posting Chopsy - another quality video, and some great bikes.
Thanks Stephen 👍
Whenever a new video of yours comes out' I know I'm in for a treat.....Thank-you
Thanks Rob 😁👍
Really looking forward to seeing your video on the SMCR thumb brake. Your KTM looks awesome, my 701 got plenty of mods after watching you videos, keep them coming👍👍
Be good see those projects taking place, enjoy your garage vids. 👍
Should have never sold Beastie loved that bike🏴👍
I like the diversity.
Collectible Hyperbike (H2)
Sport/Track bike (GSXR)
Vintage bike (ZX-7)
Farkled Supermoto (KTM)
Project bike (Hypermotard)
Lovely to see the Hypermotard - even if it is just the beak 😁 The garage is looking incredible too - your shutters (ooh err) are looking great!
690 is my fave, but that might change when the Ducati is done. Nice bike collection.
3 inline-4’s,1 L-Twin and 1 Thumper, hmmm not bad not bad👌🏾
All great bikes in there. Proper garage, properly stocked. Nice! 👍👌
Thanks 👍😁
The production Value has really shone throughout this video...Great job! 👏
Much appreciated!
Nothing wrong with that mate I got 3 at the moment would end up with more but my miss says no
Lovely stuff Chopsy! I can't wait to see how the ZXR turns out.
Your channel is the best thing on TH-cam - so excited for the upcoming garage time ❤
Wow, thank you! 👍😁
As always another great video. Don't get me wrong, I do love your bike reviews but these videos just feel a little more personal. Like we are getting to know you and your bikes better 😉 So thank you very much for having us 'round to yours ' and sharing your fantastic machines with us.
Can't wait to see the fleet all restored/ repaired and knowing you, probably looking better than when they first rolled out of the showroom 👍
Keep up the great work Chopsey
All the best
Russ
Appreciated Russ 👍
Another great video John
Love your collection and have mild envy.
Just the 3 bikes here currently but you can never have too many right 👍
Dont't worry, N+1. im going to go probably buy my sixth bike today. a 1990 Kawasaki ZXR400. at home i have a 14 S1000R a 17 Tuono V4RR a 90 Suzuki GSXR 250R and a GSXR750 K7 trackbike and a CBR125R for gocart tracks. my girlfriend has a 22 GSXS750 and a GSXR600 K7 track bike.. i need a bigger garage ASAP! and uhm.. more bikes.. lots more bikes :-)
Welp, I am picking up my 2nd motorbike this week.....Fe501 supermoto'd up brand new! will compliment the hypermotard nicely!
fyi motocomposits is coming out with a carbon fiber swing arm cover(mine will be 1st one out) for the H2 and R&G has a swing arm slider that is really a rear axle slide for the H2
Oh lovely 😍
Enjoyed this video even more than usual 👍 it has a ‘Harry’s Garage’ feel to it. Hopefully a more regular feature? Like the detailed info on each bike and your feelings and future plans on each.
Love your selection of bikes!
Can't wait for you to get started on the ZXR.
The garage looks amazing now. Very jealous 😁
It’s a very nice collection of bikes mate.. And the garage/man cave is mint. I really need an adjustable work table in my life as well 😎
A nice gang of bikes. I bought a Moto-Composites Carbon kit for my ZX14 R but it does not fit well and it would not have been mocked up to check for fit at all as very little of it lines up. It is a big Dremel job with me having to hack pieces apart to make them fit. I am a Fitter, I have worked in auto manufacturing and I know how to make things get together but this does not work. Single piece items are probably ok, like on LRC's H2, but the kit on my bike has many different joining points making it complex but they were not tested. Just a word of warning.
How?
Dedication and hard work.
Nice videos I had 4 bikes at one point what drove me crazy was the yearly service and MOTs . Found some never got ridden as put at end of row now down to two more manageable
Yeah that's the downside
You deserve all the toys you can get John.
I always enjoy your videos and diversity is king. 👍
Thank you so much 👍
the smcr is soo clean 🥵
Just started blogging. Wondered what you think about the speedo showing minor speeding? Should I cover it? Can they prosecute ? Let me know what you think of Dave XR motorcycles if you have time.
Need to be careful Dave, get another camera and point it back at yourself. Easier than bluring the speedo. 😉
Congratz on the garage, pretty awsome.
I got to say, that ZX7R is beautiful, got to love these 90's bikes.
Cheers from Portugal.
Couldn't agree more!
Congratulations 007. You have built a wonderful collection of very tasteful bikes, to ride, enjoy and admire. And just like your bikes, your sense of humour has only improved over the years, especially when it comes to your Hyper 😂
Thanks Bruce 😄👍
Dream Bikes👌! KTM 690 it is just so much fun, and so i bought it.Gxsr was second choice but i live on Finland so cant ride sportbikes alldays but KTM can go all weather and all🌨️🌤️⛈️☀️ season.♥️ Btw That H2 IS so hot!!!🔥🔥
More power to you for your incredible perseverance. Surprised that H2 isn't in bubble wrap. All that carbon-fiber. Keep the Hypermotard an the Suzuki.
Love your bikes especially the gsxr great video, always look forward to your vids 👍👍👍👍
Totally not surprised to see you having five bikes. After all, the ideal number is n+1, n being the number you currently own. However, I was quite surprised to learn 2008 was 15 years ago :O Ride safe and keep up the good work!
Whoooo the intro song is back ! Btw if your supermoto goes missing, I know nothing.
Has MAVIS gone awol 😯
Really nice stable , everyone a superb motorcycle.
Best regards Shaun.
You're starting to give TMF competition on the number of bikes..
5 bikes? Lightweight 🤣
Love the channel, no hype and always interesting.
Need another Fireblade style build series!
Wicked collection man, but how did you convince the wife to let you have so many? I'm stuck on 2 and she won't budge for number 3🤔
We all know thats just an excuse Sam 😉
I have 3... the trick is you bring the next one home and after awhile she sees what it means to you and forgets about it :)
I have five myself, which feels like too many to take care of and use for a person with other interests and responsibilities. My personal rule is to put 500 miles/year on each or I should sell it. Doesn't sound like much, but crazy 2022 of work and family responsibilities I didn't even register three of them after June '22.
It is easy to accumulate a nice harem: just don't sell the one(s) you have due to refusing to give them away in trades or private sale, and still want and buy new (used) ones as good deals come up.
With that said my depreciation argument is largely moot as most are worth more than I paid, I need to find another reason not to sell any of them. "Downsizing" of job responsibilities and only child leaving for University this fall means I will have another garage bay and more free time.
'23/24 will be different I may need to add a couple more...
As if Saturday wasn't good already.👍
Only five? Time to step up and fill that beautiful new garage!
Loving the whole new garage.....and seeing the collection in their full glory. I'm NOT jealous in the slightest......Looking forward to the builds!! TTFN
Thanks Iain 👍
Love you chops. Peace brother.
So so jealous of you garage and bikes. Look how far you've come. Congratulations buddy. From your CBR build to now. Incredible. I've watch and learnt alot from your vids. 🙏🏼
I'm looking at selling my s1000rr. Getting I 2009 road track bike, super naked and a 1999 classic for them special days.
Just want to say a massive thank you for sharing your knowledge. 👍🏼🍻
Thanks so much Gary 🙏
I'm looking forward to the 'Hyper-Mirage' build the most... 🤣
I have severe garage envy! Great garage and video set-up.
Thanks! 👍
As a heads up, your front brake line is routed incorrectly on the KTM, should be to the inside of the fork guard.
With the different Brembo it's the only way to route it
Your Kawasaki H2 is your best bike .
One is never enough!!
