forkie Posted August 12, 2014 Share I think it's an HP2. A great big 1200cc Enduro bike!ok. its a lot prettier than it used to be http://www.bikeandmedia.de/bmw_hp2_enduro/tot_vore_500.jpg nathrix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazambaan Posted August 12, 2014 Share Trying not to be picky about the HP 2 but its not really an enduro bike (except when mad Germans and Finns rode them at Erzberg I think!). It fits with the KTM 950SE maybe and that is not really anywhere. It's a wonderful gravel road flier but small tank and little luggage capacity as standard cuts it from a true dual sport. It's way too big and heavy to actually be a true enduro bike, maybe offroad as at least the KTM has finished a Baja 1000. The Husqvarna No. 62 in the previous pics is probably a real enduro bike. It's in its own niche and hence both bikes aren't made anymore. But beautiful and desirable for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would investigate it. I assume the low mileage is after an engine rebuild.? Surely it couldn't have just sat around.?

Spokey Posted August 19, 2014 Share I have this little machine, amongst others, which I have owned for 32 years. I wanted to do the cafe racer thing but I think its is too original and nice to change. Its the little 400F BenReaper, nathrix and GrumpyOldGuy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the little 400FNice. Little 400cc 4 cylinder. I liked the sweeping pipes. Had a Honda CX500 V-twin water cooled with driveshaft at about the same time. Best sound in those days.

Its the little 400FI wouldn't - Everyone is going the Café racer route and now there are so few good original Honda's around they are becoming very desirable. Your bike looks especially good, and very original so it would be a real shame if you changed it. Tromp and Spokey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
