BMW are busy bees these days and have several new models also for the 2007 model year. But what would you say about HP1, HP2 Sport, HP3 or HP4 Sport? BMW's K1200S is reported to have been tuned for a HP4 version. Rumour has it that there's going to be 190bhp and that the standard K1200S frames have bent during testing. Due to the frame problem the project has been delayed. Suddenly I have also noticed that BMW is more careful calling the 2005 HP HP2 Enduro. Rumours say that BMW has already finished a 1-cylinder Supermoto version of the F650GS. That will be the HP1. HP2 Enduro is already on sale and it is believed the new R1200S will receive the HP treatment as well as HP2 Sport. So what does this leave us? Yes, you guessed it, there must be a HP3 as well. Now this would be big news. BMW launched their attack on the Japanese manufacturers with K1200S and R, is Triumph next? If the HP3 is real, we believe BMW might be working with Aprilia on a three cylinder engine. BMW is certainly in the wind these days. Our speculation goes in the lines of one new HP model a year. HP4 Sport, yes please.
