Correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm sure I am...
My expectation is the HP2S motor will filter down through the line, just like the 1200 did after it first came out. But I think it'll have to be a de-tuned version, no? Seems like BMW is at the edge with the HP2S, with their scary 30,000 mile suggestions. And this thing only makes a handful of horsepower more than the R1200S. Seems like the smoothness and quietness will be the main benefits.
I wouldn't mind seeing a water boxer. With residual (or whatever that word is I'm looking for) fins to make it appear air-cooled. Then they can get into Ducati horsepower territory. I think BMW would be out of their mind to ever abandon the boxer. It's their signature, like Porsche's rear-mounted flat-six or Harley's V-twin. I love walking up behind my bike and seeing that crazy-wide engine sitting there.
