    An F6B derivative?

    This BMW concept looks an awful lot like an F6B.

    It oughta be a crime to have this much fun on a motorcycle.

    I'll bet you can buy three F6B's for what that thing is going to cost.

    I could make it work. Ditch the screen, seat and exhaust. A few personal touches.

    It's got potential.

    I've ridden the 1600GT and it is a phenomenal motorcycle.

    I really had no complaints.

    ... except for the looks.

    As much as I like sport tourers, the looks just don't win me over.

    I like the lower streamlined look and saddlebags that seem more integral, not bolted on. aka, the American bagger. Even if it is Japanese or German...

    Not only is the design derivative, the description is of the F6B AND it needs a better screen...like the F6b!!

    What has come to the designers mind mixing all kinds of elements in one bike to be a somehow-some-near-bagger like bike I would be happy to see something like this at a custom bike show, but for real riding on the street: no thanks!
    Always a good and safe ride,

    I think it might grow on me after a while as it is really not that bad looking...I also, have ridden the BMW1600GT and it is "freaky fast" and will blow the doors off the F6B..It is very smooth and I really enjoyed the bike, but don't plan on changing bikes for a while...Love my F6B as it does all I need it to do.....Ride safe...

    Different. I'd be interested in what an actual production bike would look like. Some things are just off on that. Better looking than the standard 1600 though.

    Like I already posted somewhere else, where are the mirrors? Camera in rear? SWMBO wasn't as nice with her comment on the passenger seat!
    Kinda odd, front wheels massive. Does appear in the video that the clearance will be not too bad.

    Mind you, if they don't detune the motor too much it'll munch tyres in a straight line. Get the feeling it's a US first bike.

    See! They do put you guys first!

    I own a 2014 K1600GT and it's a great bike and a lot of fun. I agree there are some features of this I really like. There is a video of it on the BMW site if anyone knows how to post the link here. If they do it right it could be an awesome bike and I would be interested in getting one. The motor is killer. I'm looking forward to the finished product.
