A strange thing happened today, I became an ex HP2 owner 
It is gone, not even one last ride, just did a deal and that was it, I will miss the thing, it was for me was without a doubt the most brilliantly uncivilised SM I have ever owned, but always lacked a little bit of soul. It had to go, I ride like too much of a tw@t for such a thing and I used to find myself laughing uncontrollably as the front end slapped around, the back end squirmed and spun and my toes dragged on the floor, such behaviour just was not right and deep down I knew it would end in tears one day so it is gone.
A sad day.
Anyway the good news is I have the basis of a baby SM coming soon in the form of a G450X (Fingers crossed it is soon as well!) So if you see someone in an old KTM Rallye jacket and scabby Enduro boots on a 450 performing like a clown, wave, it is only me trying to make up for lack of cc's

. The fastest I ever rode the HP2 on gravel was 190kph which was fun passing those KTMs but like you I could see myself coming off.
