I saw an HP2 in person today. That bike is HUGE!
At 6'4" I think I'd have a hard time flat footing that monster and the sales manager said it sits even higher when the air suspension is engaged... Yowza!

Yeah

If I had ever traded the Roadster outright, it would have been for the original GS Adventure. But I couldn't get it off the side stand in the dealership. Had exactly the right leg length to handle the base GS at 33.1 inches, the HP2 is not even in my dreams. But it looks hot!

I'm 6' 4" and the HP2 is just right for me...
btw...there is a little level on the right side and you need to use the pump on the rear shock to make it level for your weight.
...and you can lower the seat height by just letting out some air.
If I won the lotto I'd buy one.

The suspension does sag down when you sit on it, but still very high. I'm 5ft6 and I simply cannot manage this thing with tiptoeing on with foot. Very sad. So I parked it next to a curb.

Welcome to dirt bikes. My little Honda XR400 has a really tall sadle (35 inches?) that at 5'11" 32 inch inseam only comfortable way for me to get on the bike is to mount it while on the side stand, which isn't really intended for that I don't think.
