2013 BMW HP4 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around BMW's sport motorcycle platform, the 2013 BMW HP4 pairs a 999 cc (61 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 193 HP (140.9 kW) at 13,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 112 Nm (82.6 lb-ft) at 9,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 193.2 HP per liter and a 3,250 rpm working window between peak torque (9,750 rpm) and peak power (13,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the HP4 measures 199.1 kg (439 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.97 HP/kg (1.03 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,422 mm (56 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.41-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.7 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 305 km (190 miles) between fill-ups.
