Boffin Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I just saw this on another site - Thought I'd share it here: Lo-Rider Andy Link to comment
hopz Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Didn't they do this once already? Link to comment
FLTRI Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Kinda cool looking, but not for me. I think those pipes running along the inside of my knees might be a bit toasty... Link to comment
moshe_levy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 LOVE those pipes. Love 'em! -MKL Link to comment
Hoover Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 That's just awesome! Almost looks like they are looking to compete with Harley's new hot rod sportster. Link to comment
smiller Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I want to hate it, but... not bad. I would worry about the practicality of the exhaust placement though. Link to comment
lvnvbiker Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Love that! Street fighter style bikes almost always look cool to me, must be the chopper years holding on a bit. Link to comment
johnlt Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Looks like the pillion might get some hot legs! Link to comment
markgoodrich Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Looks like the pillion might get some hot legs! That would be my dream pillion. Link to comment
99Roadster Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I don't know but Frankenbike comes to mind. Link to comment
Bradley_Gillie Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 It looks like Roland Sands customized an R1200C. Here's what he did to a Ducati Link to comment
mikeR1100R Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Think I would need some asbestos or kevlar lining on my thighs. Link to comment
CoarsegoldKid Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 the duck looks better Link to comment
brianbmw Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Looks like a confederate which has always been one of my favorite bikes. I hate the exhaust though. Brian Link to comment
EffBee Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 The most telling photo is the one in the middle, with the man in $140 slacks and polished banker's shoes. Can't tell whether that's a customer or a BMW rep, but for that bike to succeed beyond BMW's limited market share, someone needs to be standing there with blue jeans and engineer boots.

UberXY Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 This is supposedly a real bike to be shown at Milan. I think I am in love. Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Already a thread on this - LINKY Link to comment
R80RTKen Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Looks like a BMW-Confederate.. my preferences would be a normal / stylized headlight shell and a cleaner look / line.. but its a good start! -Ken Link to comment
Mister Tee Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I do like the Showa inverted forks, but otherwise I'm not feeling it. Link to comment
leikam Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I don't see how this is a "low rider" in any sense except for maybe the seat height. The proportions are off and the pipes are distracting. It's a miss as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment
AviP Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Looks like BMW's equivalent of the Pontiac Aztek. Link to comment
eddd Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Looks like the pillion might get some hot legs! That would be my dream pillion. Careful, momma might read this. Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I showed the pics to a co-worker (who is considering some sort of street fighter bike) and his reaction was "that's friggin' sweet." Although he likes my ST, it's not what he's looking for in a bike. If BMW produced this, he'd definitely give it consideration. Link to comment
