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 rims and tyres are also tailored ideally to
specific road-going requirements: The front tyre measures
120/70-ZR 17 and runs on a 3.5-inch rim, the rear
tyre 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 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 rev counter 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.
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…
