I had a chance to help an acquaintance breaking his in. The HP2 Sport is well balanced unlike most of the other boxer twins and pretty low to the ground. I hate the hump-the-football riding position on sport bikes in general, but I can almost live with the HP2 Sport.

Would I buy one? No. Not while it still have the shaft drive. That flat twin in that state of tune may be down a hair on power, but it has so much torque that you can race on 3rd gear. The handling is superb and so is the fuel injection. But that shaft drive just took the fun out of this bike.
