Very nice machine 
Weight must be the same as a mountain bike + the engine and fuel
Very smart feature with the fuel cap built in to the seat
Sadly the price here i Denmark will probably be around 19.000 euro with our stupid taxes

So can you get heated grips, ABS, a full set of luggage, 8 extra spotlights and whole load of random metal 'protection' bits as optional extras then??

You should see what some HP2 owners have done to there bikes. They look like tanks with all the add on's
Why do they make them so high nowdays ?
But having said that I don't know the actual seat height but bet you 5P my feet would not be able to reach the ground comfortably.

I think for a couple reasons:
1)you need the ground clearance - it's amazing how easy it easy to end up with the sump on the ground
2) it helps if the top of the bike is flat, giving you more room to move around. This leads to an overall higher bike.
You get used to after a while - besides, you are supposed to spend most of your time with your feet on the pegs... not on the ground!

Yes I actually knew about 1) but at the speeds I like to go 2) is irrelevant.
And no I don't get used to it and I have tried on bikes various.
I think it's more to do with ability and I seem to have been at the back of the class when they handed it out.
All of which is totally irrelevant really though because there's no way I can afford one.
But thanks for your thoughts.
