BMW HP2 Sport (2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW HP2 Sport (High Performance) was a sports machine made by BMW from 2008 to 2012. It was released as a replacement for the BMW R1200S and replaced in 2012 by the larger BMW HP4.

The bike was powered by a twin-cylinder boxer engine and packed with standard features, such as a quick shifter, an Ohlins suspension system, several carbon fiber body parts, front Brembo brake calipers, forged aluminum wheels, and Metzeler race tires.

In 2012, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW HP2 Sport, a machine in its final year of production fitted with the latest race-derived technologies and parts developed by the House of Munich.

Tech-wise, the 2012 machine was fitted with a self-supporting carbon fiber bodywork, carbon fiber engine spoiler, Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA), Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), and Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).

The bike was built on a tubular steel Trellis frame with an Ohlins Telelever front and Ohlins Paralever rear suspension system, offering excellent suspension performance and handling capabilities.

In the performance department, the 2012 BMW HP2 Sport took its muscles from a 1,170cc four-stroke air-cooled twin-cylinder boxer engine with an electronically controlled fuel injection system in charge, delivering 133 hp at 8,750 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

The power produced by the engine was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically-controlled dry single-plate clutch and spun the rear wheel through a final shaft drive.
