BMW’s HP2 is equipped with brand-new DOHC cylinder heads!

MUNICH, JANUARY 2008. BMW Motorrad achieved a new sales record in 2007. After the 100,000 units were sold for the first time in 2006, BMW was able to continue its growth in 2007 with sales of 102,467 units (previous year: 100,064/+2.4%). The record figures represent the peak of BMW Motorrad‘s ongoing successful course to date.
Once again it was the Western European markets which made the biggest contribution to this outstanding result. With the German market generally declining, sales figures here were somewhat below those of the previous year (2007: 21,504; 2006: 23,617/-8.9%). However, BMW Motorrad was able to expand its market leadership both in the market over 500 cc (2007: 20.4 %; 2006: 19.8%) and in the market as a whole (2007: 19.2 %; 2006: 18.5%). The second strongest market for the company was once again Italy with 14,424 units sold, followed by the US (12,094 units) and Spain (10,382 units).

The most successful model in 2007 was once again the travel enduro bike
BMW R 1200 GS together with its sibling model, the R 1200 GS Adventure. Due to the imminent model revision, 2007 figures were slightly below those of the previous year as expected. (2007: 30,077 units, 2006: 31,138 units)

Prospects for 2008

The BMW Motorrad model program for 2008 is as broadly varied as the wishes and preferences of our customers. In the four worlds of experience Sport, Tour, Urban and Enduro there are fascinating motorcycles to suit every taste, each supplemented with an extensive range of accessories as well as the matching rider equipment.
The new BMW R 1200 GS and the new BMW R 1200 GS Adventure will already be available from dealers from the end of January.

On March 8th BMW Motorrad celebrates the official start of the season. On this day, the new 2-cylinder models BMW F 800 GS and BMW F 650 GS will see their sales debuts. The market entry of the new medium category travel enduro BMW F 800 GS, an all-rounder with outstanding off-road and long-distance qualities, is being anticipated with great excitement. The new F 650 GS, worthy successor to the popular single-cylinder entry-level model, is now fitted with the state-of-the-art parallel twin with its unique construction.

Also on March 8th, the BMW HP2 Sport will thrill all flat twin “Boxer” fans. This motorcycle, developed through deployment in endurance racing, puts genuine racing technology on the road and features a brand new dohc cylinder head.

In the second half of 2008 the new sports enduro BMW G 450 X will round off the model program.

Wolfgang Schlimme, if you’re reading this, PLEASE bring the HP2 Sport to Malaysia!
