You do. The cyllinder heads actually have sliders on them. There is a good write up about the HP2 in pretty much every motorcycle magazine this month.

They say that in most cases, the riders knee will scrape before the cyllinder head. However there are sliders just incase. BMW had 4 HP2's running in the Daytona 200. They kicked butt. The riders were taking corners even lower and faster then alot of the 600cc riders.
