BMW HP2 SPORT PRICING REVEALED

Boxer Fans - Reach for Your Checkbooks

Woodcliff Lake, NJ - February 8, 2008... The BMW HP2 Sport, arriving soon at US
BMW Motorrad retailers, will have a manufacturer's suggested retail price of
$25,375 (excluding taxes, license, options, and handling charge) and a
destination charge of $495. The high-performance (HP) two (2)-cylinder Boxer
is the third motorcycle in the HP model range customized to meet the
requirements of the ambitious sport rider.

The sportiest, most powerful and lightest Boxer ever manufactured, the HP2
Sport follows in the footsteps of the HP2 Enduro and the HP2 Megamoto. It
features numerous exclusive details, previously restricted to racing, that were
never before seen in series production BMWs. Technology such as the
self-supporting and aerodynamically optimized fairings made completely of CFK,
the gear shift assistant, a dashboard similar to that used in the MotoGP, the
forged aluminum wheels and brakes with radially mounted calipers make the HP2
unmistakably athletic on both country roads and race tracks.

The most striking difference between the BMW HP2 Sport from the endurance
racing Boxer is the brand new cylinder heads: each of the double overhead
camshafts (DOHC) uses a drag lever to actuate the valves that are larger than
those on the BMW R 1200 S. Further modifications, such as the flow-optimized
intake and outlet, new forged pistons and adapted connecting rod, help the
engine to achieve the necessary higher output compared to the basic engine. A
new stainless steel exhaust system is placed below the engine for the first
time, keeping the lower area of the motorcycle extremely slim for greater
freedom of movement for a "hanging off" riding position. Although designed for
racing prowess, the BMW HP2 Sport does not forego the safety benefits of ABS.
A sophisticated antilock brake system, specially adapted to the HP2 Sport, is
available as an option and is configured so that it can be deactivated for the
racetrack.
Following the BMW Motorrad Motorsport design, the carbon-fiber bodywork of the
HP2 Sport is partially painted in Alpine White, while the engine spoiler
carries the two-tone "HP2" lettering and the lattice frame and wheels are
painted in the BMW Motorrad color of Motorsport Blue.

For enthusiasts who delight in racing technology, the HP2 is a dream come true!
