Had similar thoughts, the only time I bother taking the hp2 out is on early Sunday morning rides, home by 10 after 3 or 4 hrs....rest of the time I'm on the GS bimbling along.

So took the Hp2 out and found a nice cafe at westmill in herts.





Tea, cake n milkshake , v nice

There's a vin list being (slowly) added to on here

Stu

RT wet weight 259kg
GT16 wet weight 320kg

Triumph Copy wet weight 301kg

Too heavy vs the RT , not as much oomph as the GT.

7/10 must try harder ( and not copy the german boys homework)

Was that 2006 Burton? I thought that was the one Burton meet I went to?

Which year did Boxered (Steve) come along on the Sat afternoon? Was that 2006 Steve?

Whatever year that was - I don't remember any R1200s?

Anyway - Still love the HP2s........ :)

I got there rather early and left ...

Finally took a snap whilst the burning orb made an appearance.

Hi frankh, just picked mine up :D

Stu

Well what's it like??? I have never ridden one, but I'm sure it will be fantastic.

I love it....but it's only done 500 mile so waiting to get the first service out the way before I can open it up a bit. Already though it's bringing a smile to the face. It ...

Stu

Had mine (12S) in for the recalls. No big deal.
i) fit the plastic cup in the yoke to stop keys dropping through
ii) reposition line on front brake (only apllies to ABS equipped bikes)
iii) oil seal on rear drive
Done in an hour

Stu

I fitted one of Sandbars , took 20 mins - most of which was figuring out size of these tor x sockets.
Kept washers on the bolts and clearance was ok.

3000miles later still got sparkly Ohlins.

Stu

re 12S ohlins out of the box, as Ron says its soft (or plush if you want to be kind) but when you start to push on you'll want to stiffen it up.
I just went out over an afternoon and fiddled. Only pain on the road is front shock access.....

Stu

Also have the hugger.

Now where is the bellypan

Stu

Roloo, well I rather like the bellypan...I see a v early christmas present arriving!
