Got any tape of it? Hey, Marko. Go fuck yourself.

No tape. We have pics of the HP2 in Nee's bike week pics, but none of the race itself.

I actually just checked AMA's site to be sure and a BMW HP2 finished 5th and 6th in the race. So thats pretty impressive. I knew they were in the top 10, but I wasn't sure where. But 5th and 6th for a new bike is pretty damn good.

I've never been a big fan of BMW bikes but I do like that one. I wouldn't pay $25k for it though.

Yup. Larry Pegram on the new 848 finished 3rd. Actually he was 4th, but when Josh Hayes was DQ'd everyone else moved up 1 place.

I do agree there. For $25k, you could go buy any 600cc sportbike and do some serious track mods to it and have money left over for track days.

However a used one in a few years might be a good buy
