Nice addition to the stable... getting a bit squeezy in there though. Anyone want to buy a loved GSA with 23xxxkms in princess condition?

Ok so I'll acknowledge it upfront, I'm jealous.. there!
Now following on from Koos' observation what's the thinking??
Wasn't the Africa Twin filling the slot that the HP2 now seems to fit
DR650 -> Africa Twin -> HP2 -> GSA ..hmmmmm, I can see it now you will be on a ride out the back of nowhere thinking damn I should have brought the ..... instead
Decisions decisions, Im off to Catalano's luv now which one shall I take, oh damn if I want to take the HP2 I'll have to move the GSA and the DR first, anyone seen the keys to my GSA!!

Good questions. There is a little method to my madness... I think.
The GSA goes sometime after August. Africa Twin replaces the GSA and becomes the bike for Cape York or Gibb River Rd type of rides.
The DR will go in the next 6 to 12 months; pretty sure Rudall River will be its last serious outing. HP2 then becomes the bike for Anne Beadell or Gunbarrel type of rides. Anything harder... ummm, I'll have to pass.
Jono... I'm spending Easter converting a workshop into a bike port complete with auto roller door. Just trying to work out where the mrs expects me to roll out the swag in the bike port

... apparently she drew the line in the sand... at 3 bikes.

Its gunna be a cold winter. Good thing I'm heading off to Birdsville in 4 weeks time. Now, which bike shall I take

Dang! your right
Should have checked first

I retract the offending remark!
Did the HP2 come with the luggage or is that off the GSA?
Local buy or interstate?

Panniers came with it. Bought it from Qld (2nd owner) however the original owner is from Perth.
