Мотоцикл Lo Rider Concept (2009): технические характеристики, фото, видео

Purist, powerful, unfaired and reduced to the absolute essentials – these
few words prov > concept study by BMW Motorrad. At fi rst sight, the focus would seem to be
on the creation of a roadster with a muscular appearance, openly displayed
technology and powerful fl at twin engine for pure emotion and maximum
motorcycling fun. But behind all this is in fact a completely new custom
concept.

The bike’s low weight, the powerful and high-torque fl at twin engine and
high-quality chassis technology give it a high level of sporty r > while the lowered chassis and the relaxed yet active seating position with the
broad handlebars are more of a loan from cruisers and naked bikes.

The concept is such that, for the fi rst time, the customer can be involved

exhaust systems, seats, headlamp units and paint fi nish variations allow for
a level of customisation which is far greater than the familiar indiv > by means of special equipment features and accessories. This means that
the entire character of the vehicle can be adapted to the customer’s indiv > taste: the customer can take full pleasure in assembling a machine just as he
wants it – from a cool cruiser to an aggressive muscle bike.

An overview of the conceptual highlights.

Leading the way with concept studies – a BMW Motorrad tradition.

a motorcycle which has not existed in a given form before. In addition to
functions and quality, BMW developers focus on the emotional component –
the connection between man and motorcycle. The gu > a motorcycle should not just function perfectly but should also appeal to all

as a whole and in its detail. In short: it has to light the fire.

In terms of tyre dimensions, the 17-inch wheels represent the current state of
the art for sports motorcycles, though with their chrome wire spokes, black
hubs and steel rims they ingeniously echo the characteristic stylistic elements
and fl air of a past era. By contrast, contemporary technology and a high level

borrowed from motor racing at the front and the single disc brake at the rear.
In terms of its engine, the Lo R > contemporary and full of character – the legendary, highly responsive BMW
fl at twin “Boxer” engine. For 85 years, the construction principle of this
engine has stood for unmistakable, authentic design, a full torque curve and
unique sound and power. In its current version with an output of over 100 bhp,
overhead camshafts, electronic fuel injection and exhaust gas purifi cation, the
powerful response of this dynamic and distinctive 2-cylinder is simply perfect

extended to include a pillion passenger module.

The specifi cation la > Head of Design Development at BMW Motorrad, was that all the conceivable
combination options of these components should produce different end
results but that the bike should always retain a rounded, coherent character
