Used Buyer Review

The HP2 Megamoto is one of BMW's genuine oddball masterpieces โ€” 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 โ€” 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.

Pros

+Intoxicating torquey boxer character
+Ohlins suspension genuinely excellent
+Appreciating collectors piece
+Unique supermoto riding position
+Bulletproof engine long-term

Cons

-Parts increasingly hard sourcing
-Dry clutch rattle unsettling
-Heavy for supermoto category
-Suspension rebuilds cost seriously
warning
Avoid if

You need cheap, easy dealer support
