The BMW HP2 Megamoto was introduced in 2007 as a street-legal supermoto variant of the HP2 Enduro, sharing the same air/oil-cooled Boxer twin engine platform. It was part of BMW's High Performance (HP) line, designed to offer aggressive, lightweight supermoto performance with premium components including Öhlins suspension and Brembo brakes. The Megamoto was notable for being one of the few large-displacement supermoto offerings from a major European manufacturer, blending BMW's boxer heritage with supermoto agility.

What Buyers Should Know
Boxer Engine Reliability
The HP2 Megamoto uses BMW's proven air-cooled 1170cc Boxer twin, known for exceptional longevity when properly maintained. Watch for oil leaks around the valve covers and rocker arm covers, which are common on higher-mileage examples.
Strong Resale Value
With only around 1,400 units produced worldwide from 2007–2009, the HP2 Megamoto commands strong resale prices as a rare collector's supermoto. Well-maintained examples retain value well above typical used motorcycles in its class.
Unique Telelever Suspension
The HP2 Megamoto features BMW's signature Telelever front suspension, which virtually eliminates brake dive and offers a distinct handling feel unlike conventional forks. Inspect the Telelever pivot bearings carefully, as worn bearings can cause vague steering and are costly to replace.
Generations & Specs by Year
Single production generation; 1170cc Boxer twin, supermoto styling, HP suspension, no significant mid-cycle updates.
"Supermoto lunacy wrapped in BMW's finest engineering."
The HP2 Megamoto is what happens when BMW's M division loses its mind in the best possible way — that 1170cc boxer twin pulls hard from idle and those cylinder heads stick out like fists, ready to catch a curb if you're not paying attention. On a mountain road the thing is savage: the Öhlins suspension telegraphs everything, the steering is knife-quick for a 215 kg machine, and the torque shove between 4,000 and 6,500 rpm will rearrange your organs. Seat height at 880 mm means shorter riders are on tiptoe at stops, and the exposed air-cooled engine turns your right leg into a rotisserie chicken in summer traffic — this is emphatically not a commuter. It's expensive to maintain, parts aren't cheap, and finding a good used example without thrashed suspension from someone who thought they were on a dirt track requires patience.

Used Buyer Review
"A flawed, brilliant motorcycle you'll never want to sell."
$12,000-$18,000 usedThe HP2 Megamoto is one of BMW's genuine oddball masterpieces — a supermoto built around the R1200 boxer twin when nobody asked for that and everyone should have. That 105bhp air-cooled flat twin torques hard from basically nothing, and the high, wide bars combined with those 17-inch wheels make it corner with a looseness that's genuinely addictive. It's not fast in a straight line by modern standards, but it doesn't need to be. Buying used means doing your homework. Check the Ohlins suspension carefully — rebuild costs are real money. The dry clutch rattles like a tin of bolts at idle, which is normal, but slipping or juddering means budget accordingly. Inspect the telelever front end for play and verify full service history on that boxer engine. Parts availability is patchy and dealer knowledge is thinner than it used to be. These are appreciating, so prices have firmed up. You're buying a limited-production motorcycle that BMW won't build again. Ride it hard, maintain it properly, and it rewards you every single time.
