HP2 Sport, R1200S, HP2 Megamoto Video!

Hey guys, I guess some company has made water proof race leathers... The down side. They are over $2,000 *USD*.

Well MCN, a Biritish motorcycle magazine tested them out. Well, BMW I guess was the bike of choice for testing out the leathers. I got a 3minute video of the R1200S HP2 Sport, R1200S, and HP2 Megamoto going around the track. Not sure where exactly.

Enjoy!

Can't you just spray them with Scotch-Guard. LOL I'd have to get paid to race in the rain. Now I know why a yellow 12S is hard to find--Gore-Tex bought them.

According to my secret sources...erm...maybe (but the 2 stripes are too much > one could do a more elegant job).

PS: if you are after carbon-mania > black is the only solution.

The Blue and White will be a new color. Just saw a picture of it last week from my super secret source. Man it looks awsome. If I can remember rite it also has blue wheels.
