Latest in Technology and Performance Now Offered on HP2 Line
Woodcliff Lake, NJ - April 2, 2008...Motorcycle enthusiasts who appreciate the
very latest in performance and technology can now find it on the new BMW HP2
Megamoto, now available at BMW Motorrad retailers. The ABS system is available
as a factory-installed option through U.S. BMW Motorrad retailers at a
manufacturer's suggested retail price of $1,000.00; and, like the HP2 Sport,
the system can be completely turned off.
The street version of the mighty HP2 Enduro, the Megamoto is armed with tons of
power in the form of a 113 hp Boxer motor that spits out 85 lb/ft of torque.
Every extra detail has been stripped away to create a supermoto machine
offering thrilling, out-of-this-world excitement in every gear. With a dry
weight of just 393 lbs, low center of gravity, inverted Marzocchi forks, Ohlins
rear shock, and plenty of wheel travel in both front and rear suspensions, the
HP2 Megamoto delivers sharp, supremely responsive handling. An Akrpovic exhaust
adds efficiency, while Brembo brakes assure maximum stopping power. Motorcycle
enthusiasts also appreciate that 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 BMW HP2 Megamoto has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $20,520
(excluding destination charge).
