BMW HP2 Sport (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW HP2 Sport (High Performance) was a sports motorcycle manufactured by BMW from 2008 to 2012 as a successor to the BMW R1200S. In 2012, the bike was replaced by the larger BMW HP4.

Before the HP2 Sport model was released, the manufacturer created two other HP2 models, the HP2 Megamoto and the HP2 Enduro. The HP2 Enduro was made from 2005 to 2008, and the Megamoto was produced from 2007 to 2010. Neither of the two models was as well received as the HP2 Sport but quickly became collector items with high prices on the used market.

The HP2 Sport was fitted from the start with standard features, such as a quick shifter, an Ohlins suspension system, and several carbon fiber body parts. Also, it packed lightweight forged aluminum wheels, front Brembo brake calipers, and Metzeler race tires.

In the visual department, the bike packed a front fairing with a small windscreen, a single headlight unit, a single seat, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and lightweight 10-spoke forged aluminum wheels.

The 2009 BMW HP2 Sport packed underneath its fairing a 1,170cc four-stroke air-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering an output power of 130 hp at 8,750 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

The bike was built on a tubular steel Trellis frame with an Ohlins Telelever front and Ohlins Paralever rear suspension system, coupled to a pair of 320 mm brake discs on the front and a 265 mm brake disc on the rear, offering excellent suspension performance and stopping power.
