I'll throw in my 2 cents worth here too. Although I haven't ridden the HP I can make a comparison to a Gixxer and the ZX10, both of which seem to have significantly more dive under braking. I would assume its because of the oversized forks in the new Beemer? The slipper is flawless...literally you can be riding in 6th gear...smack the think down into 1st, let out the clutch and just feel the bike settle in. And the bike seems to pull from just about everywhere. And yes I am still excited about my new purchase so I may be a bit biased...but when you just start to twist the throttle and you feel like somebody with size 15 boots just kicked you in the back and in your rearview are all the faces of those you were just sitting next too...its, well...intoxicating!
