HP4

Post by jkhomes »

I ordered an HP4 today. Standard one.

Plan to keep the R1200R as my primary touring bike and ride the racing bike on mountain roads for short day trips. It will be intersting to see if I start to prefer the RR over time. I kind of doubt it. Apples and oranges.

I guess my third bike should be something other than a BMW...

Wow congratz! I want one too! :D

I really like the HP4, especially the upgrade one with the blue forged wheels and the sponsor stickers. 8)

Yeah your third bike should be a differnt brand, diversity of a great thing when it comes to bikes. I could never understand the one brand mentality of some riders who has multi-bikes from one manufacturer. That being said, the S1000RR is such a different bike from the Twins that it might as well as be from a different manufacturer.

Just how "Standard" is a standard? Self aiming photon torpedos?
