Looks sporty, doesn't it? I can't understand why BMW doesn't build something like this themselves.

Fritz Halbfeld (left) and Klaus Pepperl (right), the remaining founders who now run the company. I don't like the cockpit of the original HPN, so I designed it differently. Something exotic from the HPN workshop: this swingarm with monoshock was developed specifically for the Pharaoh's Rally and was also intended to run at Paris-Dakar. Here is a side view. Currently HPN is working on fitting the R1100GS swingarm into the HPN; unfortunately the aluminium cast swingarm is also not as sturdy as the old monolever. Here are the first images of the HPN four-valve boxer rally motorcycle. It has already had its first outing – but it is not for sale (and probably won't be for some time). View into the cockpit. A historic image – Paris-Dakar Rally 1985, victory on the HPN. Front view. The workplace.
