If ever a bike was made to suit somebody, then the HP2 was made for you, dont know what your mucking about at, if you by the 'berg, you'll only wish you'd bought the HP2
And you know what they say,"the worst kind of people are tight with themselves"

Heart. Every time.
Do I need a 1200GS? No, there are cheaper bikes that would have fulfilled the criteria I needed. I had a perfectly good touring bike as it was, the R850R MU did everything I needed.
But, given that I had to have a GS, trading in the 850 would've been the sensible option, and my wife, though a fellow biker, wonders why I need two bikes. But no. My first "proper" bike had to stay.
So what the hell, I bought the GS and kept my little baby too.
Now, the HP2. Do I need one? No. Would I like one? Yes. Would Mrs J beat me round the head with the frying pan if I got one.
Hmmm. Let me think about that.......

Just called them
A tad under £9k for a year old bike.
1400 miles and THREE warranty claims
that's over 3 times the price of a mint Berg
A mental ride on Husaberg's looking more likely

Do I, don't I, do I, don't I ..........should I, shouldn't I .......just listen to the nagging little fellow screaming from down there inside you! If you a can raise the dosh, just go for it. What's the worst that could happen?
Fell into a similar trap a few years ago. Sold my previous bike .... seen the GS, rode it, loved it, then somehow rationalised myself into buying a R1100R .... seemed a sensible (and cheaper option). 18 months on, I sell it, and finally buy what I always wanted, my GS! A wasted 18 months!

I should change this
Hang on, hang on. £40k?!?!? For a feckin horse?!?! 10 years ago?!?! Jesus wept! Now I know where Shergar went!'My' horse unfortunately belongs to someone else. Can you believe she paid £40K for him 10 years ago
anyway feck off putting HP2s back into my head
All those pics are making me want a HP2 now, and I know I'll never afford one and if I did I wouldn't be able to ride the damn thing anyway.

yeah but, no but...the nagging little fellow inside is saying, don't get the CCM, get the Husaberg you'll get a bigger buzz from that.
some of the places we ride would be impossible on a HP2

Hmmm ya prolly right TimmyTimothy.....maybe the HP2's a little too butch for you....and it is pretty powerful as well....
There's no shame in admitting that you're not up to it and a little skeered......

A 450 is probably just under 110kgs dry and 55ish BHP and a HP2 is 175kgs dry and 105ish BHP - more fluids in a HP2 so not a huge difference.Yeah right but let's talk about power to weight ratio
MY FS650 was around 65BHP so a tad more power but it felt so light that the power was easier to use/abuse
A lot easier to pick up than a GS as well
