jduke...the HP2S has a dry weight of 392 lbs and that's with Telelever and Paralever. The Ducati 1098 weighs some 381 lbs, so much weight difference isn't there. BMW really squeeshed everything out of the Boxer. The new engine and some new concepts could prove for an interesting future Boxer motor but do we want a chain on it? probably not. Normal forks? probably not. Let's hope that they develop the engine further so it can be adopted in other models
