Would (if so, where) it be possible to get a 3D cad model of a R (boxer) BMW motorcycle engine? Thanks.

Now that is thinking outside the BOXER! Great design execution…. Which means it ain’t not concept bike.

Hmmmm i think the tesi 3d has this idea covered pretty well… Good thought well different.
From the front looks like a scooter. It has a long way to go design wise

I love this design! I have a fondness for alternative front ends and this one looks fabulous! And the boxer engine while a bit old school, is a very beautiful design element and probably enough to get this beauty down road respectably… keep up the good work!

I like the look of this bike way better than a Buell and I own one. I don’t think it looks similar to a Buell at all. I love the front end, head lights, and tucked tail lights. The Sharp edge design of the body is pretty cool as well.

If they make it I would buy it pending the price tag.

The only thing I question on this design is the position of the riders knees. From that front view it appears they might be a little to close engine exposing them to a lot of heat. Of course I know that some of the other BMW boxer designs or similar with respect to engine position. I’ve never owned a BMW so I’m hardly an authority in that aspect. However if they made this bike it would probably be my first BMW. I know BMW motorcycles are full of craftsmanship and Ive always wanted one but never found one that appealing until now.

Does anybody know how close or hot your legs and knees might get from this design?
There may not be a problem at all, I’m just curious and really hope there is not one.

Awesome looking bike!

Build it! Build it! Build it!

Thanks
