BMW HP4 (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW HP4 was a sports motorcycle that debuted in 2012 to continue the HP2 series founded in 2005. Unlike the HP2 Enduro, HP2 Megamoto, and HP2 Sport, the HP4 model was the first four-cylinder powered machine in the HP family.

The BMW HP4 was the first four-cylinder machine that featured the HP (High Performance) badge. The bike was based on the BMW S1000RR and was made from the very best materials developed by the House of Munich at the time.

The BMW HP4 was the first machine that featured the Dynamic Damping Control (DDC), which made it the most advanced production motorcycle ever built. It also featured four riding modes: Rain and Sport for road use and Track and Slick for the race track.

In 2012, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW HP4, one of the most powerful production machines designed and developed by BMW at the time, fitted with race-derived technologies.

In the performance department, the 2012 BMW HP4 had its soul brought to life by a 999cc four-stroke liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering an output power of 193 hp at 13,000 rpm and 113 Nm (83 lb-ft) torque at 9,750 rpm.

The braking power was achieved by two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.
