What did a BMW flat-Twin have to do with a converted dirtbike running on 17-inch wheels?Well. it was surprising to find the upsizing recipe worked so well for this class of streetbike. In the case of the BMW. the HP2 Mega is based on the HP2 enduro launched in 2006. the world’s wackiest and most expensive dual-sport bike. And its conversion to pure street duty and Megamotoness takes the predictable course with the switch to 17-inch cast wheels with griptastic 120/70 and 180/55 sport rubber. a spiffy Akrapovic exhaust and a mini-fairing with the Cyclops-and-a-half headlight. Cooler features include the exposed steel-tube frame. inverted telescopic fork and ?hlins shock. The triple-disc brakes are superb and use braided lines at the front. ABS is a $1000 option on top of a $20. 20 price tag. The bars are quite wide. too. and even when you’ve got your feet up on the dirtbike-like clawed footpegs. you’re never cramped for space. Power from the 1170cc engine is snappy and fun. The claimed 113 horsepower is delivered. however. with predictable strength and vigor. while being accompanied by excellent torque. This 11. 0:1-compression. high-lift-cam. air/oil-cooled special is not at all like your average Boxer fare. The latter engines are satisfying if somewhat stoic; this one runs as though a mad German scientist was in charge of tuning. Same goes for the chassis. Okay. it’s a big. tall bike. and that wheelbase stretches out to 63. 4 inches. But the front-end geometry is intended to keep things reasonably lively (28. 4 degrees rake/3. 7 inches trail). so as the road gets tighter. things get better and better. It is stable in high-speed sweepers. yes. but wide bars and the in-command riding position favor quick flicks and rapid directional changes. The perch-like highness of this type of bike always feels a bit strange as you take the first few corners. but soon you realize that the extra suspension travel and altitude make deep lean on bumpy roads your path of choice. and it all feels quite natural. So. like the other bikes in this class. the BMW Megamoto is just a tall version of a standard with vaguely dirtbike-like styling and a bitchin’ motor. Superb fun. in other words.
