If you like that you might want to try the KTM 950 supermoto.There was a shootout between it and the Ducati hypermotard 1100s and the BMW hp2 Megamoto in the Uk "BIKE" mag and the KTM came out tops.The BMW did have more power but it has a dip between 4000 and 5000 revs.
Been there. tested it for Kiwi Rider 18 months ago.
Value for money - KTM.
Which do I like best - BMW.
And of course while not being as extreme - the Buell Ulysses is as good a handler as either - and also has the ability to convert into a touring or 2-up bike as well.
I like it, it would compliment my Rt
A universal dream of greatness is that
We push ourselves to the limit
Yet still be brilliant when the chips are down.
Sometimes , The struggle kills the dream.
BMW gave me the HP2 to use over New years last year 06/07 for 4 days. Had to work on the Coromandel and used it to get around while not working.
whar a Firkin machine. in the gravel yeehaaaaaa. twist of the throttle and 140km/h came up very fast. (closed road of course) light and easy to handle.
on the seal double yeehaaa. overtook cars on the tight and twisties straights 4 at a time. what a great noise
