Here's the one that was down there.



Cheers Mark.

That's the HP2 Megamoto, not the HP2 Sport.

Bike mag did a review of it (HP2 Sport) last year, want me to try and dig it out and scan it?

that would be a terrible thing to do. I'd struggle not to read it and obsess even more than I already am

Already found one con against all the pro's (it's kind of in line with YC's point about spares).... There's only one HP2 sport on bike trader and it's a cat D - current asking price is around £12,500. So yeah, they hold their value (even when they've been dropped!)

I don't think I'm ready for the starship enterprise just yet lol, and as I said before, I need to take up water colours or meditation before getting a bigger bike

I cant see any reason not to think about getting one. I really like it. It looks different and if theres not many of them about it'll be quite exclusive to.

Not helping much am I...

last time we had this conversation, I ended up buying the svThou. You're all a bunch of b*stards lol

You can try my medication any time,Paul - it doesn't do anything for me.
How much you want for thou ?

[Paul the 6th]

lol i was only joking but I could really really really do with about £5k right now. Nowt to do with the value of the thou, just a random number

Loving the thou - just saving to get some nice cans for it
