Hyper Performanc­e 4

-

BMW MOTORRAD HAVE LAUNCHED THEIR LATEST TRACK TOOL, THE HP4 Race, a performanc­e motorcycle crafted by a handful of highly skilled craftsmen at BMW Motorrad. The HP4 was announced last year and this year the company has launched the bike in a limited run of just 750.

Being an exclusive machine, the HP4 comes with a 999-cc, in-line four engine that produces a mind-boggling 215 PS at 13,900 rpm. The red-line of the bike has also increased from 14,200 to 14,500 rpm. BMW have mated this engine to a close-ratio six-speed gearbox to extract the maximum performanc­e.

BMW have also introduced a carbon-fibre frame with monocoque constructi­on and it weighs just 7.8 kg. New lightweigh­t wheels, FGR 300 USD fork and TTX 36 GP rear monoshock, Brembo GP4 PR monobloc callipers with thicker racing steel brakes, carbon-fibre parts, and aluminium fuel tank are parts that have brought down the weight to just 146 kg, lighter than some WSBK machines. So, if you fancy yourself a road-going machine that is closer to a race bike, then we recommend you contact your nearest BMW showroom ASAP.
