BMW Concept 6 cylinder bagger targets F6B

[choptop]

I love the initial concept bike, but obviously some of the elements that made it so interesting aren't going to see it through to production. The recent image does nothing for me at all; a big disappointment. Somehow they've managed to keep the goofy "egg" shape of the K1600 and lost all the cool factor.... The 'B is still the one!

I agree, the first rendering stretched, bigger front tire... had me interested, the latest pic, not so much.

+1, the new rendering looks like their existing bikes, not like the concept.

I remember when I first saw the concept pics my exact words were "That looks just like my F6B.... except this one has some wood panels" I've never felt any nostalgia for wood panels.

Still ugly and the exposed innards are aesthetically displeasing.

Looks like the Honda CTX.

The Concept 101 looked good enough to consider were I looking ,but I have the original so no big deal.
What it morphed into for production is standard fare and doesn't interest me at all...

Needs a windscreen, helibars, highway pegs, better seat, passenger backrest, cargo rack, trailer hitch, center stand, fork brace..........sounds familiar

IF it's true to BMW form, for most of us it will need a step ladder as well.

I like the footpegs.

Not a big fan of BMW quality and design since the wall came down. West Germans had a certain pride in manufacturing that seems to have faded away.
