I'll be shifting my base to Dammam in couple of months. Could you help me with the details of BMW showroom in Dammam? The website shows only for Riyadh. Also would be great if you have any details of Japanese bike showrooms in KSA as I couldn't find anything other than Kawasaki. |

About the HP2 sport
If someone would care to explain something to me:
I want to know what is the deal with the BMW HP2. I mean I see only a fully faired, boxer twin with loads of tech goodies. Then what is so special about the bike that it costs almost as much or even more than even the S1000rr? (it costs around $25,000!!). It's performance figures are also only decent, nowhere like the S1000rr's. Anybody got the time to give me an explanation? Appreciate it.. |

@ Siddharth: The answer goes back to a little heritage of BMW. Infact, BMWs most successful engine platform for their bikes is their boxer engine. And prior to the introduction of their latest version K engines (from 2004) and later the S1000RR, BMW did all the high performance engine tweaking on the boxer platform. So naturally the HP2 sport was a tweaked boxer with high-end performance parts in the engine, premium suspension, lighter alloy wheels and some carbon fiber parts etc with a whooping price! Therefore the performance figures are higher than the standard boxer, but not something great compared to the other inline -4 engines. Besides, there are a whole lot of boxer engine lovers and also a special boxer cup etc. Therefore, this bike will appeal mainly to that crowd rather than normal performance seeking buyers. As a BMW affectionado, I love the boxer engine for its simplicity and reliability (esp for long distance touring), but beyond that I would prefer an inline-4 any day for hardcore performance stuff.

The HP2 Sport could be summed as a half decent sportsbike with probably the best brakes in the biking world...

@ Prashant: BMW Motorrad only has a showroom in Riyadh which is about 400kms from Dammam. (Riyadh is about 950 kms from Jeddah, where I live). Anyways, when you arrive in Dammam, pls PM your mob and we shall be in touch for any assistance you need with motorbiking there. Thank you for the help. Now I'm counting my days to reach KSA. Would be great to meet you Sir.
