Unicorn on wheels

The BMW HP4 Race is a true unicorn of a motorcycle—an engineering marvel that combines rarity, performance, and exclusivity. With only one in the entire country, this masterpiece is not just a collector’s dream but a track weapon, used exactly as it was intended. The owner frequently brings it to the racetrack (Buddh International Circuit), where it commands attention and leaves everyone in awe. I’ve been fortunate enough to see it a few times now, and it’s a surreal experience every time. I first encountered the HP4 Race at the New York Auto Show, where it stood as a showstopper, gleaming under the lights. To now witness it tearing up the track in its element is nothing short of extraordinary.
