2017 BMW HP4 Race Prototype Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2017 BMW HP4 Race Prototype sport motorcycle, BMW relies on a 999 cc (61 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant.

Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,438 mm (56.6 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.5-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
