2008 BMW HP2 Megamoto Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in BMW's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2008 BMW HP2 Megamoto pairs a 1170 cc (71.4 cu in) oil & air-cooled two cylinder boxer, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 101.0 x 73.0 mm (4.0 x 2.9 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the HP2 Megamoto measures 198 kg (437 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 890 mm (35 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,625 mm (64 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.1 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 317 km (197 miles) between fill-ups.
