Apparently the engine is going to end up in the K-series bikes, and the concept bike abandoned.

It does look a bit...



Still, BMW at least produce... 'unique' looking machines. Never afford one in a million years, though.

The satnav built into the clocks is a nice touch.

Not my cup to tea, but good to see challenging (if not radical) design. A challenger for the Rocket?

Wooo IL6's. Possibly the best engine configuration for smooth engine (so no need for big bang etc) there is. Im shocked IL6's haven't made it into bikes more. Last one being the CBX1000 I think!

Smooth, yes, but difficult to package a six. Good for touring, but too wide (across the frame) for a sports bike.

Sounds nice, but he could have at least made that Skyline (I think) work for his money!

Hmmm.Just watched that bit, yea he could have probably done it really. Tis an old engine though, no doubt a fair amount of torque but probably no more than 110bhp without some tuning.
