BMW seems to be getting really serious about this sportbike thing. Witness their latest concept bike. It's a six cylinder wild child called simply Concept 6.

Fascination, Supremacy and Riding Comfort with Six Cylinders

That's how BMW Motorrad describe the two-wheeled six banger. But this isn't just some paper mache concept show rig. Production is planned for the very near future and the first model promised is a new luxo touring rig to replace the K1200LT.

However, showing off a rad new motor like this in some moto-barge wouldn't be very exciting now would it? Of course not. Instead the boys in Munich decided to offer us a space-age cafe racer to show off the Concept 6.

Supremacy and dynamism are also borne out clearly by the thrilling design of the Concept 6 and, as usual, this project from BMW Motorrad is more than “just” the attempt to develop a motorcycle of a kind never seen before.

Working on Concept 6, the designers at BMW Motorrad have therefore focused yet again on technical function and quality and, in particular, the emotional element bringing together man and machine. Their rule, quite simply, is that a motorcycle must not only follow the laws of functionality, but also arouse emotion in all its facets. In a nutshell, therefore, the machine must be simply thrilling.

Simply thrilling.

I'd have to agree!
