Im selling some of my off road bikes and some of my duplicate bikes in order to free up some room for a new bike.
Im seriously considering a BIMOTA SB8K Santa Monica, but Im also interested in a BMW HP2 Sport.
Im looking for some feedback from the forum on these 2 bikes, especially from those who have had the pleasure of riding the 2 bikes in question.
I do almost all of my riding in the paved mountain canyons of Colorado.....these are high altitude canyons and many are 2 lane and rather tight rather than super slab highway riding. I will not be using either bike for racing or for track days.....just for pleasure. I am a very aggressive rider however having raced for many many years in my youth. Im now 57, but I still can ride a superbike/sports bike the way they work best.
I love the fit and finish of the Santa Monica, and I already have 4 BIMOTAs. Ive wanted to add a Santa Monica to my garage for a while. I understand the HP2 Sport is a fantastic bike and that it handles like a dream. I consider both bikes works of art in their own right.
The ideal solution would be to get both bikes, but I think I will be getting only one for now, and maybe later I can get the other one.....I need to help my wife meet some of here dreams so Im splitting my free money between my hobbies and doing home remodeling that my spouse wants......you all know how it is....I dont want to be to selfish, so I try to limit my buying to one bike at a time
Any thought about these 2 great bikes???
thanks for any constructive comments
