So far the Beemer 6 is a concept. I'd be interested to see how they worked out the timing and draw with only one throttle body intake to map the airflow.

I always like the EFI that BMW uses. Interesting code.

I think it looks like a mean bike... but I do hope they use a different body style than the new S1000. Not to liking really.

I've seen videos of them being ridden though... The look like fun!!

Did the slate driveway and marble columns give him away? Hmmm.  Strange... I don't see any tools in his garage. Nice taste in toys, though.  ;D  RR

by no means was that bike built for practicality, but it sure looks cool.


these were in my photobucket, they're an ad campaign from Honda.
the tag line was-
"Respect your motorbike's identity-Use Honda original complements and accessories."
I guess saying if you put aftermarket on your bike it's like dressing it up like an idiot.

a wild bike for sure and a great score on the pix  js!

but, it seems they went out of their way to route the compressed air near the exhaust. looks like they felt a need for as many bends as possible rather than keep heat away from the intake.

not decided yet whether i actually like the bike.  :-\

That ice race bike is cool just because there is allot of cool ideas there, why such a big sprocket.. I like the CBX BMW bike, probably the first time I liked the look of any BMW bike. That V12 for real?
Nice work on the pink toco, but pink? Really?

Nice, I love it when a CB of any kind gets some love on the front page of any rag.. Pink or not!
