BMW is astonishing, not only for its outside "look-at-me" vision, but also with the heart which happens to be a straight 6 cylinder 1.6litre engine. It's just obvious that the germans are going mad all the time and if this remains only a concept we'll be very sad.
A function called E-Gas (ride by wire), gives several selectable ride modes for fuel economy and power, which is said to be similar to what you would get from a 1300, perhaps 170 hp, but torque is 96 foot pounds at 2000 rpm plus it has a redline of 9000 rpm. BMW says initial intentions for the engine are in a touring platform of some sort, but its capabilities mean it can easily be used in a wide variety of bikes.
