BMW delivers its 'sportiest' production Boxer ever in the form of its new 2008 HP2 Sport, a hopped up R1200S based off the Bavarian marque's 2007 factory endurance racebike.

The HP2 Sport brings the technical development of the Sport Boxer onto the street in a production model.

The latest edition to the Boxer-powered HP2 lineup, the HP2 Sport has been decked with enough race-ready components to be a potent track weapon.

The Ohlins sport suspension, available as an option on the R1200S, is sourced on the new HP2, with the components fully adjustable.

The lower portion of the HP2 is narrower than its R siblings due to a new stainless steel exhaust system, which winds up the back into an underseat silencer.
