Grey Hound
I know you guys are not keen on superbikes but I think this is one "super" bike that deserves a mention and some pics on this site.
This week I was fortunate enough to get to work on one of the very few BMW HP2 Sports in the country.
I was instructed to remove the catalytic converter in order to gain a few more horses and improve the sound
The exhaust on this bike is much better designed (from a performance point of view) than a 1200GS and thus there was more to gain from removing the cat - I rode the bike before and after and can honestly say (according to the bum dyno) that throttle response was quicker, the bike was more eager to rev and the sound is absolutely glorious
All in all an awesome bike - only weighs 180 odd kilos, full of trick carbon fibre stuff, electronic quick shifter, amazing brakes, fancy aluminium rear sets, instrument console with more features than PS3 and super special ohlins suspension - mid range torque of a steam train and superb handling - best of all the bike is stock standard from the factory with all this kit
but I would expect that for R230 000
Here are the pics
