Don't forget about bringing the HP2S north. However, I get some thrills riding the RT up there also. I now have Autocom Active Duo which allows me to get Valentine 1 warnings, radio/cd, Zumo and cell phone communications in the helmet. Never had that before but on a touring bike it makes for less boring long rides. Oh yeah, the Iron Butt Association tag also tells the reason for the RT.
John, the HP2 Sport and the S1000RR are both High Performance bikes in their own right. That's why they are connected IMO.
