BMW HP2 Enduro (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2008, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW HP2 Enduro, an off-road motorcycle that debuted in 2005 as a high-performance dirt motorcycle with the engine and electronics based on the BMW R1200GS.

Compared to the BMW R1200GS, the off-road machine featured a traditional tubular steel Trellis frame with a conventional telescopic fork on the front and other modifications, making it 24 kg (53 lbs) lighter.

The 2008 BMW HP2 Enduro was in its final year of production. From 2005 to 2008, the manufacturer produced approximately 2,910 units, of which 2,517 models were built with European specifications and 393 featured American specifications.

The bike was delivered with standard fittings, such as a high-mounted front fender, small side panels, a one-piece dual seat, a two-into-one exhaust system, wire-spoke wheels, and enduro tires.

It also packed lightweight materials, such as magnesium cylinder head covers, an aluminum handlebar, and several protection pieces, including cylinder, rear axle, underbelly, and headlight guards.

In the performance department, the 2008 BMW HP2 Enduro had its soul brought to life by a 1,170cc four-stroke air-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine managed by an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, delivering 105 hp at 7,000 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 5,500 rpm.

The bike power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically-controlled dry single-plate clutch and a final shaft drive.
