Weight ?
G'day Paul,
Prior to purchase I loaded the HP2 with the tank bag a HEIN GERICKE and the TATONKA BARREL BAG MEDIUM (65 LITRE) to see how everything sat on the bike, no drama. The bags are water proof to a point, the bag stays put, even in the rough stuff! After 10,000 K's I have no issues to report, apart form the hard seat and small tank, the HP2 is 100% stock standard.
The 2 bags weigh about 25 Kgs, (17 / 7) the HP2 full of fuel about 215 Kgs, me and all the riding gear 110 + Kgs. All up weight is around 350 Kgs, seems quite a bit although the HP2 is incredibly nimble with heaps of grunt, simply raw and effortless.
It's just amazing to ride, a great conversation starter, forget the autobahn it just doesn't cut the mustard. Back roads and dirt it's simply awesome which is what I (we all ?) prefer.
Cheers Dave
