00:00A new highlight has emerged from BMW Motorrad, the new BMW HP4 Race is lighter, faster, more powerful and more
00:08revolutionary than anything that has gone before.
00:11The first test demonstrates its extreme credentials, speed, performance and handling.
00:17It's almost about more power, but as a racer, the biggest question was in the past, how could you get
00:25the power on the ground?
00:26And the electronic details on the bike are so fine-tuned that it's quite easy to get the power on
00:33the ground, to control it and to feel comfortable on the bike.
00:36And at the end, when you arrive at a corner with more than 300 km per hour, it's easy with
00:43these brakes to control the speed into the corner.
00:46So it's the full package you will need.
00:49Key features include 215 horsepower, peak engine speed of 14,500 rpm, weight-optimized electrics, dynamic traction control DTC and
01:01wheelie control.
01:02These allow the bike to be set up precisely to suit the track layout, surface conditions and the skills of
01:08the individual rider.
01:10The HP4 Race is handmade in Plant Berlin to guarantee peak performance out on the track.
01:19This is a really good combination and it took around three laps when I was sitting first time on the
01:25bike.
01:26It's been much faster than on the stock 1000RR, which is a really big number and we are talking about
01:33almost two seconds.
01:35And this is really exclusive.
01:38During the development of the new HP4 Race, weight optimization was a key priority.
01:43The industrially made carbon mainframe weighs just 7.8 kg and the wheels, made of the same high-tech material,
01:51are 30% lighter than their aluminium equivalents.
01:54Moreover, with a dry weight of just 146 kg, the HP4 Race is even lighter than the latest works races
02:01in the Superbike World Championship.
02:04First of all, the bike is produced in a limited edition, so a lot of carbon fiber, first full carbon
02:12frame on the bike, front fork, the brakes, so everything is really exclusive on the bike.
02:18The BMW HP4 Race is virtually the ultimate in exclusive race machines and for 750 customers, it will soon be
02:26a dream come true.
