2011 BMW HP2 Megamoto

What happens when the BMW Motorrad engineers are given completely free rein and literally let loose? A beast – the benchmark for every other bike over the toughest terrain. Over 110 bhp of flat twin power and huge pulling power from the very bottom of the engine speed range, high-quality, racing-style tubular space frame with extreme torsional stiffness. And not an ounce overweight at 179 kg dry weight. The result: the HP2 Megamoto. Uncompromising, dynamic and exclusive – even when standing still.

Thanks to its perfect geometry combined with the very finest technology, this high performance sports bike never gets out of breath. Incredible braking points and extreme banking at a level otherwise only offered by superbikes! Once you have mounted this seat, you won’t want to get off. A model built in an exclusive number of units with a wide range of perfect ingredients especially conceived for this motorcycle. And a design which makes the perfect connection between style and ultimate performance.

But if you want to take a test ride, you’ll have to persuade Simo Kirssi or Chris Pfeiffer to get off and let you have a go ...
