I've just got back from my first club ride on my new HP2. Being Sunday there is a club ride up north of Auckland NZ. The ride has tight twisty corners and some nice straights. I'm not really interest in the straight line speed of the bike I just enjoy tight corners. (I have my 1200rt for the touring rides)
I'm still running the bike in so I'm slow and steady on the straights. I come to my first tight corner and find I don't need to slow down for this as I usually do and just drop the HP into the first of many tight corners on the ride. I scrape my foot peg and boot on the ground. The next corner I move my foot off the peg and slide it around the corner. I've never ridden a BMW bike which corners like the HP does.
We had a r1100s on the ride and he usually rides the corners well and leaves me in his dust on my old 1200gs well not this time I passed him and he had no answers at all. The HP just pulled away. He could not believe how well the HP could corner.
I'll have my first adventure ride next weekend on the HP
