The most sophisticated High-tech bike2012 IZH inspired from 1929 Soviet motorcycle

2012 IZH - Concept

The brand new izh motorcycle is the bike with most sophisticated technological implemented systems. It has everything that a modern car is equipped with. But let's start with some history lesson first.

Back in 1927 the Russian motorcycle brand was one of the biggest factories in the world with 11 000 000 bikes produced since the 1927. However mainly the izh was a well-known producer of weapons (for example the AK-47 famous "Kalashnikov"). For the civil market though they had also automotive factory and they were the main Soviet motorcycle supplier before the falling of the USSR. But in spite of these facts the russian brand is absolutely unknown in the Western countries.

So the 1929 model of the izh motorcycle was with 1200cc V-twin engine placed transversally, three speed gearbox with shaft drive system, 23 hp, and the bottom rear part of the frame was a functional exhaust.

The Igor Chak's view for the 2012 IZH concept is astonishing

The BMW Concept 6 Another Brutally mean machine

The new concept from 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.
