2011 BMW HP2 Megamoto Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by BMW for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2011 BMW HP2 Megamoto features a 1170 cc (71.4 cu in) oil & air-cooled two cylinder boxer, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 111.3 HP (81.2 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 115 Nm (84.8 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 95.1 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the HP2 Megamoto measures 200 kg (441 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.56 HP/kg (1.8 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 860 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,650 mm (65 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.1 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 390 km (242 miles) between fill-ups.
