Is there really a HP5 coming out or is this just an idea ?

If it looks anything like that I'll stick to my RR:hopelessness:

I've always wanted to ride a bike with hub centre steering...

But why would they call it a hp5?

Hmm, an Sthou with a funny front end, a trellis frame and a pseudo '70's Suzuki GP paint job, I think someone must have had a boring day at work...

I don't believe I fell for this one. It was an April fool joke

lol - it would be more likely to be an HP4-S or something like that at the 4=cylinders...if it was to happen.

BMW would have to come up with some significant new tech. to do another HP4 I guess, hard to think what that would be at the moment given the spec of the gen. 3

I think, if one happens, it will be the carbon frame demonstrator. But that will need a significant reworking of all the bits bolted to it.

Or some kind of hybrid motor maybe..
