That's very pretty, shame the concepts never quite look as tasty when they go to launch but makes an interesting read, a genuinely viable inline six, hmmmm........

Hey, thanks for the link Drake.

I have always liked the Honda CBX engine- I had the 4 cylinder 900F and while that was a smooth engine I thought that the CBX would have been even better.

I found part of the "press release" interesting:
Quote:
The new BMW straight-six will further expand the K-Series in the foreseeable future. The first model to be introduced will be an innovative and luxurious BMW touring machine


But that sport version would be more interesting to me.

Indeed. Why build a cool concept bike like that and then turn it into another German Goldwing? Rolling Eyes

I guess this engine is the heart of the K1200LT replacement?

Is it just me, or does that bike look incredibly w-i-d-e?
