BMW LoRider Custom Concept Survey Online

BMW LoRider concept motorcycle

When the BMW LoRider was first revealed, everyone seemed to like it a lot. BMW says they want to hear from you and they have an online survey I didn't notice before where you can tell them what you're thinking. You get to choose your favorite configuration from a whole series and give them your input on things like price, horsepower and various other custom options. Head on over and give 'em a piece of your mind.

It's also going to be making its North American debut at the Long Beach International Motorcycle Show this weekend. So if you're in sunny California, check it out.

I wrote my answers but I can’t imagine them reading the thousands of entries they will get. I also suggested directing some of this styling towards the 650 singles.

Great decision by BMW. A bike for the people influenced by the people. Just what motorcycle company needs in the modern economy to stay competitive. I really like the old school lines of line of the BMW design too. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.

Volksmotorrad?

I really like it but presumably IF it came to market it would attract the BMW price premium making it unaffordable to plebs like me.

This bike is raw and unapologetic, in a very good way. The black wire spokes, big brake calipers, nearly invisible fenders and high-mounted pipes say it’s all business, while the low-mounted headlights, dirt track bars and aggressive solo seat second the motion.

I’d request two things for perfection: 1. One of those H-D Rocker hide-a-seats for two-up fun. 2. Home delivery.

A bike for the people would be no more than 5000 dollars.

I agree with LN, a hide-a-seat would be cool. but i could deal with even just a seat that bolts on/off. i filled out the sheet, and in the end for somewhere around 11k or less i would consider buying just because this is a type of bike i was considering building for myself until BMW came out with the concept.
