2014 BMW HP4 Comp *The Last of its Kind
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
2014 will be the last year of the uber exclusive BMW HP4 Competition motorcycle. From here on out, electronic suspension damping will be available to the typical budget conscious enthusiast...this is a very good thing!

Nice bike indeed.
Thank you for this GROWN UP, real-world overview of a bike I've heard so much about.

Such a great bike. Rides so smooth and easy. I will never sell this gem. Even my 2010 s1000rr is a smooth ride but nothing compared to the 2014 hp4. Number 5362 here

That very well does make sense. I can't see bmw charging customers extra $$ if they want DDC on the hp5. That's what makes the hp
New s1000r sports has the best features from this for tons less. It has the DDC etc.
NIce bike it really does, but I still prefer and love the Panigale 1299
I want one.
Where is this? Beautiful scenery!!

I don't know what's in store for the RR. I suspect it will continue on relatively unchanged for a few more years. It's one the best motorcycles ever made.
Gloves good for half an accident aren't good at all. You can get good gloves for $150...saving your hands is worth the money a thousand times over. What can you do in life without hands? IMO, the most important gear after a helmet are good gloves.

The only thing I don't like about the HP4 - the asymmetrical headlamps. Why did they need to do that? Any answers or explanations would be appreciated.
@brakesforsnakes757
5 жыл бұрын
You may think the asymmetrical headlight and fairing is just a design factor but it’s not. With a single round projector on the left, the motorcycle did not throw enough light to meet the norms of a street legal motorcycle. So BMW provided a massive lamp on the right to meet the norms. Now why did BMW not give the same big lamps on both sides? Well it helped them shave off 300-500 grams on the bike. 500 grams may not seem much but that’s how serious BMW is about performance. And this is just one example how they have shed weight. The round left projector is also meant give the bike a look of an endurance racer. The design philosophy followed for the S1000RR. shifting-gears.com/why-does-the-bmw-s1000rr-have-asymmetric-headlights-and-fairing/
why would you want the brake and clutch lever to be able to flip up like that? doesn't make sense to me can anyone explain?

The levers are like that incase you go down on the bike. The levers would flex up instead of bending or breaking off.
Ok, that's real nice, but for $26 grand it better be able to fly too.

It's not official, it's my speculation. That said, it's 99% accurate. The HP4 has always been a limited production machine, and with the S1000R having DDS, the HP4 is obsolete....just like that. Next is the HP5!

Cal Moto It's official per BMW that 2014 is the last for HP4. How much of it shows up on 2015 reg SKRR remains to be seen.
I find 273 pounds unbelievable. I had a 954rr that was 370 and it felt like a toy. I weigh 260+ and I find it impossible that a BMW weighs only 10 more pounds. Guess I will have to Google it.

Pochos25 Yeah, $25k was MSRP on the Comp model. There was/is a glut on the std. model. With the new RR on it's way, I see some good deals to be had.
beautiful bike. though i have never seen the point of having such a monster bike for road riding. the power just isn't useable and the average rider cant handle such a monster engine.
Obviously not 273lbs. Not sure what DDS is that is going to be available on other bikes. That being said I have one and love it. There are no stock bikes on the road that "stomp" this bike as its been said in some posts. Further, there are no modified bikes that "stomp" this bike either unless youre talking about a turbo busa or a bike with nitrous on it. However, those bikes are all all drag bikes, not track bikes which is what this bike is. I'll take a tuned track bike over a modded drag bike any day just for the sheer pleasure of coming out of a 45 degree lean and hammering the bike from 100-150 in 5 or less. My friend asked me if he thought my stock HP4 could hang with his modded busa which produces 230hp plus and is built for drag, my only reply was after the first turn I'd have him...which is without a doubt true. The HP4 Comp sells for 25k plus MSRP. The standard HP4 is around 20k. Truth be told this bike is the best sports bike I have ridden from the Panigale S and R...yes an acquaintance actually has one...to the ZX10r, RSV4...list goes on. This bike is built for the riding enthusiasts not for the 20 somethings that view straight line 1000 meter runs as the "tell all" of a bike's ability. If you have the money and can attain an HP4 you'll get off every time especially when you start cornering the bike. The DDC will fool you into thinking you're a better rider than you are.

A real test would be for you to take your K5 vs the HP4 on the same track stock for stock and see which bike runs the faster time with you as the rider. Then come back and use the word STOMPED...wont happen.

+Mingo Rolince The engineering is fine, it's just that it's geared toward a more American riding attitude. Biking has been part of US culture so long that you're gonna have a lot of sport bike riders and motard guys and even the odd café racer guy, but you're going to have a massive number of old guys who want to drop a chunk of money on a big heavy recliner of a motorcycle and just putt around enjoying their retirement. You simply don't see nearly as much of that in the Isles or continental Europe.

Check your specs again. 273 lbs. dry is not correct. It's heavier than a ZX-10r. The ZX-10r is the lightest 1000 going right now.

Lou - Are you sure you're not thinking of the base S1000RR?? Because the HP4 has some significant weight savings.. Even the '15 ZX-10R weighs about 70 lbs more (wet) than the HP4 does dry.. 4.5 gal of fuel weighs about 28 lbs, thus I'd wager the HP4 may be a few lbs lighter even when fully wet. I'd love to see a source saying the ZX-10 is lighter - both wet, ready to ride. Either way the ZX-10 can't match the power to weight ratio so it's moot is it not? Can't touch the top speed either. I mean, it's only what, 15-20hp/5ft-lbs short at-the-wheel? That's far from an insignificant number.. Tex - The 1190rs is roughly the same weight as the HP-4 (something like 4lbs lighter dry.) Even then who the hell is going to pay more than $44k for one?? Not to mention.. it being an 1190.. you can't really call it a liter bike any more can you? The 1198 Superleggera beats it anyway - but it costs a whopping $65k so again - who cares at that point? Also - Anything more than 1k cc and you're in the open class - not really comparable any more. The Buell also can't match the Beemer's power - especially when we get into factory tuning. (Can you say 212hp HP4?! I can only imagine..)
