Check out the chicken strip on the rear tyre though.
On yours or his?

I have to say I'm green with jealousy! The HP2 Sport is gorgeous I mentioned it to my dealer today and he was flabergasted that there was one on the UK roads at all so I'm sure yours is currently way more exclusive than the Desmo.
Have you ridden the standard R1200S at all? It'd be interesting to read a comparison.
