For the new model, BMW has developed the most powerful Boxer engine ever. This has been achieved through the complete redesign of the cylinder heads to create the first Boxer engine with double overhead camshaft. This allows the engine to reach higher revs therefore generating more power.

Achieving over 128hp at 8750rpm and 115Nm of torque at 6000rpm, the engine really packs a punch. With a dry weight of just 178kg, the bike’s power to weight ratio promises impressive performance.

Also the HP2 Sport is the first production motorcycle to be available for road use with a quickshifter. This enables fast gear changes without easing off the throttle or operating the clutch, making for a smoother, faster ride. As well as this the bike has a close-ratio six-speed gearbox, for maximum acceleration. Continuing its race credentials the HP2 Sport comes complete with a lightweight carbon fibre fairing, including a self-supporting seat unit.

The on-the-road price of the HP2 Sport is expected to be around £14,500 to be confirmed when the bike becomes available at BMW Motorrad dealerships in Spring 2008.
