Introducing the Megamoto, BMW is Upgrading the Exclusive HP2 Family with a
Dynamic Supermoto Machine.

Munich. Introducing new motorcycle concepts with an even higher level of
emotion, BMW Motorrad is proudly presenting the new Megamoto: Based on the BMW
HP2 Enduro, this unique motorcycle will rank right at the top among all
street-legal two-cylinder Supermotos thanks to its supreme performance and the
use of top-class materials. Consistently following the HP2 model line, the
Megamoto impressively demonstrates the outstanding dynamism and broad range of
the Boxer concept.

Weighing less than 200 kilos or 440 lb in road trim, the Megamoto offers
significantly more power and torque than even the powerful HP2 Enduro. And to
meet the specific demands of sports surfing on country roads as well as the
toughest conditions on the race track, the extra-firm, lowered suspension comes
with truly outstanding components: At the front a fully adjustable,
fine-response upside-down fork from Marzocchi with sliding tubes measuring an
impressive 45 millimetres or 1.77" in diameter and with 160 millimetres /6.30"
spring travel ensures superior wheel guidance at all times. At the rear an
Öhlins spring strut with 180 millimetres/7.09" spring travel also adjustable in
its basic spring setting, damper inbound and rebound stroke, likewise ensures a
firm and muscular stance on the road.

The wheels and tires are also tailored ideally to specific road-going
requirements: The front tire measures 120/70-ZR 17 and runs on a 3.5-inch rim,
the rear tire is 180/55 ZR 17 in size and runs on a 5.5-inch rim in the usual
supersports dimension.

To make even better use of the stable suspension with its great potential, the
new BMW HP2 Megamoto comes with a second front brake disc ensuring stopping
power and deceleration absolutely comparable to a modern road-going sports
machine. Good news for the rational enthusiast is that both a tachometer and a
new headlight, as well as the significantly lower seat, give the Megamoto an
even higher standard of everyday riding qualities.

The very looks of the new machine and the choice of the most exclusive
materials again help to make the BMW HP2 Megamoto absolutely fascinating and
emotional in every respect. The tank cover and headlight fairing, for example,
are both made in part of carbon fiber.

The double-chamber Akrapovic exhaust system gives the new Megamoto a powerful
and throaty sound very appropriate for a machine of this kind. And at the same
time the exhaust system not only helps to boost engine power, but also refines
the overall image and style of BMW Motorrad's new Supermoto. In re-configuring
the Boxer power unit so full of character, the engineers responsible for the
new machine have focused in particular on even more spontaneous response and
supreme torque at low and medium engine speeds.

With its very active, front wheel-oriented seating position, its smooth balance
and impressive ergonomic qualities, the Megamoto will certainly appeal to all
connoisseurs, individualists and pleasure-conscious riders within the segment
of dynamic motorcyclists. Simply because this new machine offers a brand-new
interpretation of Sheer Riding Pleasure and light handling, making it a truly
uncompromising riding machine in all its features: light, powerful, agile and,
in particular, very exclusive.

This exclusivity is ensured by the limited production figures of the BMW HP2
Megamoto, since the machine is built by hand to a large extent and uses very
exclusive materials. So the individualist opting for the Megamoto, this
explosive combination of high-tech and powerful character, of emotion and
function, should also be willing and able to take a bold but wise decision...
