BMW HP2 Enduro

[Ocean1]

Quad cam? the GS and GSA only recently went to DOHC.

My bad, meant 4 valve.

How well do they actually protect the engine though after a moderate speed bin?

I had a set of Touratech bars on my old 1100 before I sold it and they took few good offs in gravel and grass. No problems. I have seen few on tarmac with maybe a slight bend in the tubing but the cylinder heads were intact

One lives up the road from me.

Quad cam innit? 110HP?

Looks well capable. The owner sure is. Wonder why they didn't turn it into a full blown production unit., even at a premium price.

I think they also put the engine in a Randy Mamola / Boxer Cup model.
I'd love one of those..

There was one of the Mamola Specials for sale in Hamilton about a year ago. It was absolutely mint in BMW colours with only 7-8K on the clock. I think it sold for some ridiculous ammount of money

Yeah the one in Hamilton was nice, but pricey.
There's been one on TM lately (from Cambridge i think), but Car Jam says it's: a) a 'Merican import and b) clocked by 20k.

American = Restricted??

I dunno.
What pissed me off was - here's this geezer in Cambridge advertising a 2002 BCR with 18k on it which I was pretty keen on. Car Jam says it was imported from the US in 2006 and that it's been clocked 22k - how dumb does he think the average punter is?

Did you approached him with the Carjam report? What was his response? Cheeky git alright

[Bender]

Don't believe everything you read on carjam - to do the mileage carjam says was put on my Territory it would have had to drive to the moon and back every month for the first year of its life.

I know the Territory is a pretty capable vehicle but...

The fact that KTM came out with the equally insane 950 SuperEnduro at the same time for about 10 grand cheaper didn't exactly help either.

950SE is a one bad mother of a motor scooter, but for some reason the HP2-E looks cooler in my humble opinion. (just my preference)

I reckon the 950 would look better if it included the pile of Rutherfords making up the price difference between tidy used examples of it and an HP2. I've seen them on TradeMe for less than $10k.

I want a 950SE.

Not familliar, will google. What's immediately apparent with the HP2E is how... unencumbered it is, no fat. It appeals to the enginameer in me.

The neighbours one looks well used, (as in used well), might affect the price but I've got no idea if or when he'd consider selling it.

If and when he does you'll have competition.
