2019 Bmw HP4 Race Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2019 Bmw HP4 Race sport motorcycle, Bmw utilizes a 999 cc (61 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 215 HP (156.9 kW) at 13,900 rpm while maximum torque reaches 120 Nm (88.5 lb-ft) at 10,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 215.2 HP per liter and a 3,900 rpm working window between peak torque (10,000 rpm) and peak power (13,900 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the HP4 Race measures 171.4 kg (378 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.25 HP/kg (0.8 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 831 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17.5-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 300 km/h (186 mph).
