They just dropped off the HP2S and all I can say is WOW! I have seen one at the show, and one at Max's on a pedestal so I couldn't sit on it, but until you can caress one of these things you can't really appreciate it, because for some reason they seem to photograph poorly but are pure porn in the flesh. More to come brothers!
 Damon, your machine is on route!

Join our open arms Shred.............the HP2 is VERY different than your beautiful R12S was and still is.........it will become apparent the first time you simply slip away from Cage on his outdated slug. One does not need to brag about his mount when riding a HP2, as it simply speaks for itself. Hope the reservoir run goes well as the fall air clears and the roads dry clean.

Good to hear! Can't wait to hear your comparison of the new HP2 to the old R12S!

The visual differences are obvious the performance differences will be evaluate soon, but the exhaust note difference goes to the R12S, that HPE exhaust is snotty. I will mount up the Akra after I try the bike in it's stock form first, I expect that will sound throatier, but I doubt it will match the. HPE for pure snarl!

Congrats! I'm a bit envious as I could not get my hands on a HP2; not yet anyway. Lusting after a GS right now, would make a good complement to the R1200S.

Congrats shredder... It is one of the most beautiful bikes in the world imo, with beauty not just skin deep, with attention to detail second to none.

Shreddr's new HP2 with the Akro might even sound quiet compared to that??
Shreddr, I think you are really going to like the new bike.........I sure like mine.........just ask LCPeter how many times I told him just that on our NorCal trip!!

Congrats Shred (and Damon)! I haven't been around much lately so I didn't even know about the HP2S. So you finally came around in your thinking. I think the HP2S is awesome and I sure wouldn't mind owning one. Would look great next to the
S1000RR. I see new ones are still available, but I imagine deals might be had on pre-owned. Ya never know. Good luck, both you guys.
