BMW shortens the queue: more HP2s for Australia
Additional volume of exclusive sportsbikeBMW Motorrad Australia has announced additional volume of the highly exclusive HP2 Sport will make its way Down Under.
"With customers already waiting upwards of 18 months to take delivery of this highly desirable and unique motorcycle, the opportunity to secure additional volume was welcomed with open arms", said BMW Motorrad General Manager, Cameron Cuthill. "To date around 30 customers have taken delivery of the fastest, sportiest and lightest Boxer-engined sport bike yet. Many considering them an investment and collectors item, ready for the road or track."
The BMW HP2 Sport, which follows in the wake of the HP2 Enduro and HP2 Megamoto, is equipped with many racetrack-derived features such as the race shift for the close-ratio gearbox, forged alloy wheels and MotoGP- inspired dashboard making their first appearance in a BMW series production machine.
The highly tuned Boxer engine delivers in excess of 130hp at 8750rpm, with peak torque of 115Nm at 6000 rpm. The power doesn't taper until it reaches 9500rpm.
The HP2 Sport is based on the R 1200 S, but there are significant mechanical differences, along with a new, race-ready composite carbon fibre body, race wheels and optional switchable ABS.
It also has fully adjustable Öhlins shocks front and rear, and radial mounted Brembo brakes. The bike tips the scales at 178kg dry, and 199kg ready to ride.
