I thought there might have been a conversation on this one - quite usefully, there are links in this next link to other threads:

Still quite an idea though - I believe that BMW will basically "build one if you want one". I think I read it was a case of "Lets see if we can do it - and if people want to dip in their pockets, then we'll make one for them".
Nice to see a company make something... because they can. And not immediately consign it to the "concept bike" bin.

The HP2 now comes with two sets of wheels and is about $3000 dearer as a result, however you can now swap between dirt bike and motard in your gargre.

I understand there are 3 new bikes from BMW using this model/engine config, a super moto, off roader and dual purpose thing

BMW are putting the motard wheels in to sweeten the deal cause they're getting their arse kicked in sales by the KTM.

Yep,KTM`s a lot cheaper and a lot better-looking.From what I`ve heard and read about build quality,particularly corrosion and electrical problems,BMW are losing the plot.They were always expensive but most accepted that they were head and shoulders quality-wise over most other bikes.Expensive and top quality will sell,expensive and shoddy?That`s what finished the original Triumph company.

A nice looking bike, BMW have come a long way in styling from the old R series bikes
