New HP2 Megamoto owner

[Nutty]

After wanting one of these for a very long time, today was the day that my new Megamoto was delivered.

2010 on a 60 plate, 3k miles, and in MINT condition. To say that I'm happy would be the understatement of the century!

Let the farkling begin. I'm actually going to go the other way, and TAKE OFF most of the extras, getting it back to factory standard spec. Once the bits are off, I'll post them up here in the FS&W section.

Wow.. what a corker. Enjoy it!

the forks must be at the top of the UPPER FORK CROSS BRACE
and the rear Ohlins must also be set on the max high.

BMW says it's better, you can retreive that in the owner manual.

All depending on your own body size for sure.

I thought that's what he meant! The guy I bought the bike from is around my size, slightly heavier, and said its set up perfectly, so I'll see how I get on today.

page 49 of User Manual :

When changing the height of the motorcycle, always be sure to set
the front and rear adjusters to the same settings.
BMW Motorrad recommends riding with the adjusters set for
the high position.

Enjoy your MM

I am onlly 170cm so not verry big and weigh around 94kg my seat hight is at 93cm you dont need to touch the floor when riding only when you stop and of course you can only du that with one leg when your as short as me I usally use the kerbside as a 15cm foot extenshion

Congrats - that bike looks in great condition!

Just got back from my first ride on the bike, and it is AMAZING. I'm going to have to watch my licence. I knew it would be good, but this is beyond my expectations

 

[GSMarc]

I put :
an Aros header ;
a K&N air filter ;
a Wunderlich air intake ;
a Remus exhaust ;
a RapidBike injection controler.

After that, YES it was beyond my expectations

That's an absolute beauty

Mine has the Aros headers, the rest is pretty much standard.

It's early days, but I can't see me needing anything else for it, other than a brighter headlight (maybe an HID from Les Wassall, but not sure if there'll be any canbus or battery issues) and a seatbelt so I don't fall off the back under the immense acceleration!

Thanks. I'll give it a proper clean tomorrow afternoon. It seems to have an appetite for flies and wasps.

no issue with mine (149€) but only 1 source of light instead of 2.
If fails, you are in the complete dark at night...

For this reason, on my HP2E (I'm using more), I have installed a second one Touratech (349€)

Good idea, I'll have a chat with Les in that case.
