Not financially, but they take very good care of me and let me get away with murder for all of my Webb friends.

I can get bikes and "stuff" for ......er....ah...um....my friends at a good deal.

I don't get anything out of it other than getting my "stuff" at cost and getting first rides on new bikes. I spent three days on the R1200S having fun in Northern Cal within 2 days of the first dealer deliveries. That will also be happening with the upcomming R1200S HP 2 Sport

We, San Jose, has been racing Beemers since 1976.

I live almost 1000 miles from the dealership.

So Dean, are you going to give it a proper break in?

Dean,
How do the specs on the HP2 version stack up to the San Jose Formula Extreme Bike?

Post by **Deans BMW** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 9:39 am

Good question Jeff.

The San Jose Formula extreme bike, not the Moto ST bike, has around 130 RWHP while the Racing version of the HP 2 Sport has around 135 to 140 RWHP. The Moto ST bike is limited to 118 RWHP. The new upcomming R1200S HP 2 Sport will prolly have around 120 to 125 RWHP. The current stock R1200S has about 110 to 112 RWHP. The stock R1200ST/RT/R has about 100 RWHP. the current R1200GS is in the mid 80's RWHP.

RHP is Rear Wheel Horse Power, not the advertized crank Horse Power.

San Jose's higher HP bike is lighter than the upcomming R1200S HP 2 Sport.
