HP_Katalog_209_EAL.indd 2-3 20.11.2009 14:37:54 Uhr

Think radical. Stay focused. Compromise on nothing. Question everything. For our engineers this

isn’t just a job, it’s a calling. They leave nothing to chance, and concentrate on the essentials, trying

to squeeze every last drop of horsepower out of the engine, and strip every last gram of weight out

of the bike. Visionary design and a passion for engineering create unique motorcycles. Built for the

racetrack. Built for the road. Built for you. Welcome to High Performance.”

Hidden away in a valley in the south of Spain lies one of the world’s

most exciting and modern racing resorts – a private track built for the

most demanding motorsport a² cionados and most exclusive racing

machines. 5.425 kilometres of pure adrenalin, for 100 per cent High

Performance: the perfect place to put two of the world’s most exciting

motorcycles – the HP2 Sport and HP2 Megamoto – through their paces.

The engine of the new HP2 Sport is truly a masterpiece of engineering.

The raw numbers are enough to leave you in no doubt – this is a

power unit that is built with absolute performance in mind. It develops

133 horsepower (98 kW) at 8,750 rpm, and while its maximum torque

of 115 Nm is produced at 6,000 rpm, the boxer engine will rev all the

way up to 9,500 rpm. The HP2 Sport also features all-new cylinder

heads, with cam follower valve lifts attached to double overhead

camshafts on each cylinder. There are four radial valves on each

cylinder, with valve plate diameters of 39 millimetres at the in³ ow

and 33 millimetres at the out³ ow. Other modi² cations such as

air³ ow-optimized intake and exhaust ports, new forged pistons

and redesigned connecting rods also contribute to the outstanding

performance. Two oil coolers, running in parallel one behind the

other, prevent the engine from overheating.

The pinnacle of evolution.

12 – 13 | HP2 Sport

HP stands for High Performance. The HP2 Sport is a pure sportsbike,

and everything about it serves that end. Weight is reduced to an

absolute minimum, and radical design innovations abound. There

are a wealth of exclusive components, such as the adjustable Magura

master cylinders, adjustable milled foot pegs, and billet aluminium

top yokes, all designed and manufactured to the very highest quality

standards.

The bike also draws on BMW Motorrad’s extensive experience of

endurance racing. Everything from the gear shift assist to the carbon

² bre panels and 2D GP dashboard is designed solely with perform-

ance in mind. Riders will also love the Öhlins sport suspension, which

is adjustable for height and rebound/compression damping, and the

radially bolted Brembo monobloc brake system. BMW Motorrad ABS

is available as an option – for track use, this can be deactivated.

A whole that’s more than the sum of its parts.

HP_Katalog_209_EAL.indd 12-13 20.11.2009 14:37:59 Uhr

The HP2 Sport represents the absolute pinnacle of boxer engine

design. The BMW Motorrad designers have poured all their love of

brilliant engineering and passion for detail into creating a thorough-

bred sportsbike of the highest class.

As a genuine High Performance machine, there are no compromises

in the HP2 Sport. Every detail right down to the last screw contributes

to the handling and riding dynamics, so riders can push their abilities

to the absolute limit. Thanks to components such as the carbon front

fairing, self-supporting carbon tail section, and forged alloy wheels,

the dry weight is an unbelievably light 178 kilograms. Combine this

with the incredible engine and outstanding chassis, and you have a

machine that is the sports rider’s dream.

The unbeatable lightness of being.

14 – 15 | HP2 Sport

The Brembo monobloc brake system is as uncomprom-

isingly sporty as everything else about the HP2 Sport,

and specially modi² ed ABS is available as an option. At

the front, radially mounted 4-piston brake calipers deliver

precise control of the two 320-millimetre discs.

The Telelever front suspension features a specially

modi² ed Öhlins sport shock absorber, with adjustable

spring preload and rebound/compression damping.

The suspension height can also be adjusted with a

high degree of precision.

The HP2 Sport also features an Öhlins sport shock

absorber with adjustable rebound/compression damping

at the rear. The suspension height can be adjusted to suit

the rider‘s current requirements.

HP_Katalog_209_EAL.indd 14-15 20.11.2009 14:37:59 Uhr

The number plate holder, including rear light and

indicators, can be demounted for track use in a matter

of seconds.

The rear-wheel brake features a double-piston ³ oating

caliper. As at the front, these are operated via high-quality

steel-braided brake lines.

The ultra-lightweight forged wheels are exclusive to the

HP2 Sport, and were specially developed to deliver the best

possible handling. They come as standard with racing tyres,

in the 120/70 ZR17 size at the front and the 190/55 ZR17

size at the rear.

Keen racers will love the GP dashboard from 2D Systems. It features a large digital

display with four different modes, showing information such as lap times, maximum revs

or fuel levels. Additional systems such as lap timers, GPS tracking or telemetry recorders

can be connected if desired. Data such as maximum and minimum speeds, throttle and

brake actuation percentages, and fastest and current lap times can also be captured.

The top yoke and the two adjustable stock handlebars are high-quality forged and

milled aluminium components. The brake and clutch master cylinders, the latter with

a radially mounted pump, are also located here, attached with quick-release clamps.

20 – 21 | HP2 Megamoto

“Asphalt and adrenalin –

that’s all I’ve ever needed.”

HP_Katalog_209_EAL.indd 20-21 20.11.2009 14:38:02 Uhr

“Why settle for

just 100 per cent?”

22 – 23 | HP2 Megamoto

HP_Katalog_209_EAL.indd 22-23 20.11.2009 14:38:03 Uhr

The HP2 Megamoto is equally at home drawing admiring glances

in the urban jungle as it is tearing up country roads or drifting through

corners on the racetrack. As you’d expect of an HP2 model, its design

is stripped back to the bare essentials, with no extraneous elements

that do not enhance performance. Premium-quality components

and workmanship combine to make this a truly unique motorcycle –

and its lightweight construction and powerful boxer engine ensure

it delivers a unique adrenalin rush. It delivers an impressive

113 horsepower (83 kW), and all the torque you could wish for, even at

low and medium revs, up to a maximum of 115 Nm. Of course, one look

at the aggressive styling of the HP2 Megamoto, with its clean lines

and high-tech, high-quality materials, will already have told you all you

need to know about its performance. Light, powerful and extremely

responsive, with a forward riding position, outstanding balance and

ergonomic design, it will be love at ² rst ride.

No half measures. The HP2 Megamoto.

HP_Katalog_209_EAL.indd 22-23 20.11.2009 14:38:03 Uhr

24 – 25 | HP2 Megamoto

The two brake discs at the front give the HP2

Megamoto the sort of stopping power you’d expect

from a state-of-the-art road-going sportsbike. BMW

Motorrad ABS is available as an option.

The Marzocchi upside-down fork with its 45-millimetre

fork sliders has a travel of 160 millimetres, and adjustable

compression and rebound damping. The result is a combi-

nation of responsiveness and outstanding grip in every

situation.

HP_Katalog_209_EAL.indd 24-25 20.11.2009 14:38:04 Uhr

At the rear is an Öhlins shock absorber specially

set up for the HP2 Megamoto. 160 millimetres of

travel ensures precise feedback and optimum traction.

The Akrapovic silencer was developed especially for

the HP2 Megamoto. It is designed to maximize torque,

while delivering a full, throaty sound.

The wheels are designed for sports-style riding on

surfaced roads. The lightweight rims are combined with

a 120/70 ZR17 tyre at the front, and a 180/55 ZR17 tyre

at the rear, offering the perfect blend of control and riding

enjoyment.
