The BMW Roadster Concept
The Roadster concept by BMW is fabricated around the newest technology in air-and-liquid-cooled boxer twin-cylinder engines, which have a capacity of 1170 cc. Firing power up to 125 horsepower, the engine boasts of 92.2 pound-feet of torque.
Compact Design
Extremely compact in its design, the bike is guaranteed to be considerably lightweight. While official figures haven’t been released by BMW as of now, it can be said that the Roadster Concept is kind of an extreme bike.
Frame And Make
A tubular space frame makes up the body of the Concept Roadster with a whole lot of aluminum, and a design that is sleek in every sense. A high-power headlamp is also included that is integrated with LED light banks. Overall, the bike has a strikingly naked look.
Styling Event
The reason why no technical details about the bike have been revealed about the BMW Concept Roadster is because the company was focused on treating the Villa d’Este as a purely styling event.
As a result, the kind of frame structure that is incorporated in the tank is unknown, but speculations say that the inspiration may have been drawn from the R nine T or the HP2 Megamoto.
Special Features
A notable feature of the engine is that it is equipped with ‘knee-slider’ pads to prevent grinding under the lean angles of the bike. To hide the very showy resonator that is present at the core of exhaust system of the bike, there is a spoiler present under the engine.
