It does seem a high proportion but some are new, a couple look like test bikes and of course not everyone will like it and sell it on.
Having been in your position quite recently I understand your feelings as it's a big investment and plenty will think you're mad or whatever.
All I can say is I will be surprised if you don't absolutely love it. I've just had the first service done so can give it a few revs. It will never be 1000cc inline 4 fast but it certainly shifts. In reality you can go plenty fast enough on the road when running in! 5000rpm is about 94mph. Once you can use all the rev's it flies. Pulls out of corners like a train.
Brakes are very strong. Riding position very good (I'm 6ft+ and have the pegs set for maximum leg room for the road). Handling excellent, although suspension comes a bit stiff. I'm on 2 clicks off compression front and rear and one click off rebound front and rear. I'm no suspension expert but it handles bumpy 'B' roads nicely. If I do a track day I'll go back to standard.
Engine is super smooth for a boxer but you can feel those pistons working as rev's rise. Not an issue though. Gearbox is normal boxer, clunky sometimes, smooth others, but the quick shifter is brilliant.
Get a hugger from Sandbar to protect the rear end and some ventureshield is worth it. The bellypan will take a hammering if not, especially the several sharpe leading edges. The kit they fit isn't totally covering but I got some offcut's from my supplier and did a few bits it missed.
I'm lucky enough to have a very nicely modified RC30 as well and it's been hard to get a new bike to compete with the ride, ownership, looks etc of such an iconic bike. The HP2S was the right choice. Can't be better than that for me. Have fun.
. However, the original mirrors will go back on using larger washers.
As your are only up the road from me pop in for a coffee - if you're ever in Colchester
