Going to the NEC to give the Megamoto a good look over.I checked with Pidcocks about trading my 06 GS 12 and it will cost me the thick end of £5K...OUCH.Thing is,the GS is more than i need so the HP may be a better bet.
Why? The HP is more powerful and weighs even less. It looks like a great bike and I'd certainly love one however if your 1200GS is more than you need you should be looking at a 650 and not the HP2MM.
AFAIK no official price for the MM has been announced yet - some speculation on it costing less than the HP2, although I doubt it's true.
The price for the Megamoto will be 12.750. However, this figure isn't set in stone. So 12.850 it is!
I've worn out the buttons on my calculator, considered what it would be like living alone!
Sadly, I don’t so – it’s just too much money. It looks like a great bit of kit and I’m sure it would be amazing to ride however, really it’s only a 1200 rockster with forks and lot less weight. You can pick up a rockster on ebay for about 3K if you’re lucky – the megamoto is good but it’s not 4 times as good.
Saying that, if money was no object I’d sign up for an HP2 megamoto tomorrow
Well i'm STILL mulling over what to do.The Mega Moto does look nice and i would probably use it more than my GS purely on Grin Factor.The 650 Moto is nice but i've done the Big Single thing and though they can be fun,they have their limitations.It may well go down to a coin toss.It may go down to how much cash i have left after my ZRX 1200 has had its' new Billet clutch and generator covers and the Ti wheel,steering head and swinging arm spindles. . . . . . .
I would like to rub one down with salt and polish with brake fluid. Well not worth the money... Good old BMW... they may as well price their bikes at 20k a lump, cos there is many a numpty that will pay it. gawd help us!
