BMW HP2

BMW HP2

 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. 


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.

BMW G450X

he BMW G450X Sport Enduro is a unique motorcycle that completely redefines enduro riding. That’s because it’s been designed from the ground up to deliver the sort of off-road traction dreams are made of, with a single-cylinder engine and a revolutionary swing-arm design.
And now, numerous technical optimisations have been planned for the BMW G 450 X in the model year 2010. For instance, a new dataset has been developed for the ECU (engine control unit) of the bike's digital engine management system. This results not only in an improvement in fuel consumption (4.3 l/100km versus 4.5 l/100km @ 90km/h) but also a reduction in engine break torque, improved start characteristics and more sensitive responses, particularly with load changes.

What makes the G 450 X so unique? It's the way it's engineered. Quite simply, there is technology on this machine that is totally revolutionary. First off, the countershaft sprocket and swingarm are on the same pivot, which keeps chain tension uniform at all times for better power delivery. The clutch is smaller and mounted directly on the crankshaft which means less heat and stress on the plate. A feisty, fuel injected, easy-starting engine that's mounted forward in a stainless steel, cradle-less frame puts serious, power to the ground, while an extra-long swingarm creates unstoppable traction. Add a gas tank under the seat for a lower center of gravity, no linkage Ohlin's shock, and a forward-mounted airbox, and this is a 450 cc thumper that stands alone as the most original machine to hit the dirt in years.
