2018 BMW HP4 Race

[Holeshot]

There's a 2018 BMW HP4 RACE up for auction currently on NPA (Dealer wholesale). If anyone has an interest, LMK....I'd ask for a donation to BARF + selling price. These don't come up often for sale, especially at wholesale auction. I expect it to run to mod $30's. Not sure what reserve is.

A rare find indeed. I owned a BMW S1000RR a few years ago but this is a world apart.

Frame is CF. We had one of our #1 plates use one for a season right as they came out. Ended up putting it on the ground and breaking the frame in half. Totaled.

For fun I just looked up this bike

Only 750 of them were produced
377 lbs wet weight
215 HP
“Top tier” Öhlins suspension
Track only, no lights or kickstand
Original price was $78,000

Oh, and that carbon fiber frame? It weighs just 17 lbs

I remember when Cory brought his HP4R to Buttonwillow (before it became halfsies). I sat on it and it felt like a sport bike without a motor in it, incredibly light.

Did this thing sell yet?

I just got my m1 license, would this be a good first bike for me?

No. RNM. got to $29.2K. Previous sale was $31K, RNM. I think this one was sold back in June at NPA for $38K. Guy's buried in it. By bringing it to NPA again, he's cue'd that it's not an easy sale. At some point you'd think he'd find BAT.

I just got my m1 license, would this be a good first bike for me?

Yes. CARBON FIBER FRAME.
