The BWM HP2 Sport is the latest iteration of the Bavarian Motor Company's
foray into producing performance driven motorcycles. The quiet, staid, and lets
just admit it boring motorcycles that came out of BMW in years past is
history.
The HP line is BMW's new high performance, cutting edge line up.
It's the motorcycle equivalent of their M line of performance cars.
The
HP2 Sport is the third motorcycle in the HP line following the releases of the
HP2 Enduro and the HP2 Megamoto.
The HP-2 Sport is based on the R1200S
but is out and out designed for sports riders who are looking for a machine that
has performance as well as endurance autel

The HP2 Sport keeps some of the concepts that BMW
motorcycles have become known for such as the BMW Motorrad Telelever front
suspension and the EVO Paralever rear suspension. Other components have been
newly developed or highly modified for use in the motorcycle.
The HP-2
Sport is powered by a twin Boxer motor that has a capacity of 1170 cc. The
engine's cylinder heads were completely redesigned which allows the engine to
rev as high as 9500 rpm. The engine has a 101 mm bore and a 73 mm stroke and
produces a maximum of 130 hp at 8,750 rpm and 85 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm.
The bike has a close ratio six speed gear box, with first and second
gear having higher ratios. This puts the gear increments closer to each other
and results in less of a rev drop when progressing up through the gears.
The bike also has a gear shift assistant which allows the rider to shift
gears without using the clutch. It works by sensing when the gear lever is
activated. If it senses gear lever activation without the use of the clutch, it
electronically reduces power to the engine which puts the engine in a low load
state and makes it possible to shift without the clutch. If the rider uses the
clutch, the system becomes inactive.
The riding position of the HP-2
sport can be described as relaxed. BMW has extensive experience with endurance
racing and knows that for racers to be fast over a long period staying power is
more important than a full racer's tuck.
The dashboard was developed by
2D Systems, which also provides analytic recording systems to Moto GP
racing.
The dashboard has two modes and is switched by two controls on
the left handlebar. In road mode, typical information such as speed, rpm, time,
and distance are displayed. In race mode data such as top speed, circuit times,
number of gearshifts and rpm is shown.
The HP2 Sport will push BMW
further into the world of performance motorcycling.
