MW says its new
hand-built HP4 Race
is a "purebred racing
bike…individually crafted by
a small, highly specialized
team, ensuring the very
highest level of quality."
The new track-only HP4
Race features an all-carbon-
fiber chassis—including
wheels and subframe—a first
for a production motorcycle.
The carbon fiber frame
weighs just 17.2 pounds!
BMW claims that when fully
fueled and road ready, it
weighs less than the factory
BMW racing bike currently
being used in the FIM
WorldSBK Championship at
377 pounds.
Not only is the new HP4
Race super light but super
powerful at a claimed 215
horsepower at 13,900 rpm.
Suspension is handled
by an Ohlins FGR 300 USD
fork and an Ohlins TTX 36
GP spring strut.
Only 750 units will be
produced and will sell for
approximately $85,600. CN
