BMW HP2 Enduro background – latest motorcycle photos

The HP2 Enduro is a motorcycle manufactured by BMW Motorrad from 2005 to 2008. It is a “High Performance” (HP) dirt bike based on the engine and electronics from the R1200GS adventure-touring model. The use of a trellis tube frame, a conventional fork rather than Telelever, and other modifications, make it 53 lb (24 kg) lighter than the corresponding R1200GS.

Whatever it was, the standard bike was considered hard to handle and many modern magazines went as far as to advice buyers to avoid the “K” model (some even calling that year’s model a “lemon”). This opinion was reinforced with the death of Suzuki racer Phil Mellor at the Isle of Man TT in 1989 on the GSX-R-1100K race bike. Jamie Whitham also crashed in the same race and it was enough to see the race authorities at the IOM ban the big bikes from racing for several years.
In 1990, the “L” model bike was again tweaked and the wheelbase lengthened to correct the previous year’s handling problems. The M-model (1991) saw the addition of larger carburetors and major cosmetic changes when the fairing was reworked to place the headlights under a more aerodynamic curved cover. The “N” model (1992) was mechanically the same but offered more aggressive graphics in line with its time. It was also the last year of the oil-cooled engines as the bike was re-designed for 1993 Motorcycle wallpapers#Motorcycles #HondaMotorbike #Motorbikes #TriumphMotorbike #MotorbikeWallpaper

Very few of these bikes seem to have been made and even fewer survived. The cast wheels were in an unpainted finish and the decals were in a distinctive stripe design on the tank and side panels. This bike had a 3-1 exhaust system, and Mikuni ?Mark I? carburetors. The air box assembly was different from later years. The air filter could be changed by opening the seat. This model had triple contact breaker points making timing adjustment complex. Also featured was a separate regulator and rectifier. The seat has a short tail piece this year.
This bike received rave reviews in Cycle World, who called it a “Bargain BMW” and rated it one of their top 10 bikes in the world in 1976
