You watch anything outside AMA, Suzuki boy? :lol:

probably trying to avoid some of the problems harley has now where your base is starting to die off and you dont really appeal to the youth..

Too late for that! You have to be at least 30 before you even consider a BMW for the most part...at least until now.

in this country maybe. when rea stayed on his bike he was a force to be reckoned with last year. so was haslam to a lesser extent, and in bsb the hydrex and hm plant guys were always up front albeit behind the airwaves crew. need i mention IOM?

I'll give you Isle of Man but you will have to concede that the fastest guy was out because of a practice crash and he was riding a what?...besides, you know as well as I do that you could put the top 5 guys on any 1000cc bike and they would still be top 5 guys. As far as BSB and WSB...well, show me the money! Almost 200 points off of the champion isn't exactly "up front" imho. Not to mention Rea's 5th place is of course decent but what I am saying here is that the BIKE has been so heavily hyped.

Sorta...I would love to have a HP2Sport, but for the price tag. But I'm also knocking on 30's door.

However, this new bike doesn't interest me much. Looks are decent, and the tech seems awesome. But I prefer the Vtwin layout...but if I was gonna buy another 4 I'd look hard at this bike.

How much?

I always liked how those bikes looked.........Not sure how it would handle crashes though, with that engine layout

WTF?

Why? Just because it's rare?
