I would like to tell you about a great 2 wheeled BMW family representatives. The new BMW HP2 Megamoto is a regeneration of H2 series. The BMW is positioning this bike as a supermotard / enduro class. I think it will be perfect for small town streets or even for a megapolis. With BMW HP2 you will forget about stucking is traffic jams. And of course, you can fire it up on highways.
For me is nothing better, than going 220 km/h with a girlfriend behind your back; but wait there is – one quick shift, 6th gear," hold on tight, girl" and 230……..km/h.
One word about the design: we now see an absolutely remade design that completely differs from 2005 model. And I must say that the design of 2007 model is much more attractive, aggressive and it is in traditional for BMW white/blue/silver color scheme. It looks awesome!
On this bike we find some things that have become traditional to BMW: opposite cylinder layout, mono rear pendulum (BMW patented paralever) and cardan axel drive. As for me, I like Asian and Italian brands, and something more sport like, more insane (1000cc/320km/h from 0 to 100 in 2or 3 seconds Ducati will do) but when I saw this BMW, I liked it from first view.
Some details for connoisseurs:
