A Photo Gallery of the BMW HP2 Sport Motorcycle

From Basem Wasef, About.com

BMW's $25,375 HP2 Sport motorcycle combines old-school air-cooled technology with advanced powerplant engineering, resulting in the fastest and lightest BMW boxer ever.

Scheduled for production in 2008 and based on the R 1200 S model, the HP2 Sport features racing-derived features including:
  • A twin-cylinder engine that produces 128 horsepower at 8,750 rpm.
  • Radially mounted Brembo monoblock brakes with four-piston front calipers and an optional ABS system that can be disabled
  • Fully adjustable Öhlins suspension
  • MotoGP-style instrumentation with lap data display
  • "Gearshift assistant," which enables quick shifts of the close-ratio 6-speed transmission without clutch application
  • An underseat exhaust routed beneath the engine.
Weighing in at 392 lbs dry, the BMW HP2 Sport should provide some stiff competition in the sportbike segment.
