BMW HP2: Enduro, Megamoto and Sport — boxers and what to check on a used one
BMW HP2 (2005–2011) — limited series boxer motorcycles for enthusiasts. We look at the Enduro, Megamoto and Sport versions and what to check when buying used.
HP2 in brief
HP2 is a BMW Motorrad 'HP' (High Performance) family model that debuted in 2005. This is a limited series created for enthusiasts: light, robust and sporty boxer.
Motorcycles are produced in small quantities, making them rare and collectible. They are not for everyday use but for passionate riders.
Versions — what sets them apart
HP2 Enduro (2005–2007) — a light enduro with around 105 hp boxer engine. HP2 Megamoto (2007–2009) — a supermoto version with around 113 hp, designed for asphalt. HP2 Sport (2008–2011) — a sporty version with around 128 hp and dual adjustable forks.
All versions feature a lightweight frame and sporty suspension, but differ in purpose: Enduro — off-road, Megamoto — asphalt and fun, Sport — fast riding on the road or track.
Engine and gearbox
Engine — air and oil-cooled boxer, around 1170 cc. It's powerful and characterful, with high power output and light weight.
Gearbox — six-speed, manual. Power is transmitted via a driveshaft, which requires less maintenance compared to a chain.
What to check when buying a used HP2
Due to the small production run, check if it's a genuine HP2: frame and engine numbers, documents and key components. Special HP parts are expensive and hard to find.
Check the engine, oil leaks, chain, and gearbox. Test the brakes, suspension, and look for signs of a drop — some of these motorcycles were used for sport.
Inquire about the service history, especially valve adjustments and oil changes in the final drive.
