A handcrafted race bike that rivals the Moto GP is the pinnacle of motorcycle riding. The BMW HP4 Race has a racing history, huge torque, and everything else required to put that power to good use.

BMW HP4 Race Review
Quick Review by Maxabout Team
BMW HP4 Race is an impressive track specific model with the majority of body parts made from carbon fiber. This results in an impressively low wet weight of 171.4 kg. A liter class bike that weighs 25 kg less than a standard track bike will definitely mean faster sprints and better control on hard corners. The motorcycle can only be compared with Ducati 1299 Superleggera as it was also a lightweight limited production motorcycle with high use of carbon fiber and performance spec exhaust system. BMW HP4 Race is powered by a 999cc, inline-4 engine producing 215 HP at 13900 rpm and 120 Nm at 10000 rpm.
The values are even higher in comparison to regular liter-class motorcycles. Seat height measuring 831 mm in not that tough as certain other motorcycles like Yamaha R1 (855 mm). Riders are offered with 17.5 liters of fuel carrying capacity and claimed top speed breaks the 300 kmph barrier with ease. The impressive throttle response due to low weight and the high-performance engine will help BMW justify the price tag of INR 85 lakh. Using race spec transmission also helps BMW push maximum available power to the rear wheel.
BMW HP4 Race comes with a dry weight of just 146 kg while wet weight is even little above the value mentioned by KTM for RC390 on its official website. One can imagine the throttle response that KTM offers 43.5 HP and thus, getting 4 times more power at same weight will be simply astonishing. HP4 Race uses the most premium available components in the racing section. The exhaust used here is Akrapovic full titanium WSBK system while carbon wheels with Pirelli Diablo Superbike Slick SC2 further help in class-leading grip levels. Suspension components used here are from Ohlins while braking is handled by Brembo calipers.
