BMW Concept Roadster





  • The bike is a roadster in every sense, and is powered by a 2 cylinder boxer engine. It carries a light tubular space-frame.

  • The latest generation of the boxer engine has a 1170cc displacement and punches 125 bhp. Peak torque comes in at a hearty 125 Nm.

  • The bike's rear is fashioned from gloss milled aluminium.

  • The company says that the engine's compact proportions (with low front & high rear) form a wedge-shaped silhouette around it which give the Concept Roadster an impression of moving fast - even when standing still.

  • BMW has not made any announcements as yet about the production plan it may have for this concept, but its styling and its engine certainly point to the company's future intent.
