Nah, I’ll take the 1800cc R18 instead of that tiny 500cc.

It will be interesting to see what BMW will finally do, if anything. When they stopped making the "C" model, they cited difficulties in increasing the Boxer displacement above 1200 or 1300cc and they thought they would not be able to keep up with the displacement race in the cruiser market.

It's reported that there is confirmation from BMW that there will be a production model available in 2020...so we'll have to wait and see.

I wonder if the production model will have gauges.  I'm not seeing any on the concept bike.
