When I saw the word ' hp4' I thought it was going to be something like the hp2, that super enduro of theirs.
I'll stick to my sherco 3.0i, I love tearing through the bush on that. :)

Don't care much for the 2 different shaped headlights

What Model Triumph you got Loanrangie?
Went for a test ride on a Tiger 800 on the weekend. Lovely bike and plently of power for an adventure bike. Wasn't keen on the triple 'whistle' but maybe thats because of the quiet stock exhaust as all you tend to hear is the whistle.
Tossing up between a BMW F650 GS and the Tiger at the moment but its a close call as the BMW is also a nice ride but a little smaller and easier to throw around.

Would be a nice bike on the racetrack... while somebody else was paying for the maintenance.

I'm happy enough with my Buell. Less than half the horsepower, and none of the high-tech stuff.

But... I touched my left knee down on Water St on the way into work yesterday morning. You don't need massive HP to have fun.
