CANJAMOTO BMW Scorpion

By Paul Crowe

CANJAMOTO BMW Scorpion

CANJAMOTO BMW ScorpionStarting with a BMW R1200S, CANJAMOTO (Canadian Jamaican Motorsports), a company based in Toronto, Canada did a little bodywork and came up with what they call the Scorpion. It has no gauges, all information is to be provided via a heads up display and no windscreen is fitted, though different windscreens will be available depending on intended use.

Street and Racing models will be available in 2008, the turbo version is said to produce 160 horsepower at the rear wheel. Weight is 410 pounds.

Interesting. I’ll leave it at that.

    Very cool, very interesting, not very practical. But when it comes to something as stunning as this, who cares about practicality?

    That is so f***ing ugly and looks very uncomfortable , good enough for a prototype that will never make it to the public .

    Essentially just a rebody of a Beemer. There are some better pics at thier website, but this begs the question: why aren’t there more highly styled bodywork kits for sportbikes? I mean, hell, people crash them often enough. the cost of OEM replacments is silly steep, which should leave plenty of room for profit.
    I know that airtech used to sell a kit for a CBR and a nifty one for a GSXR. Why isn’t every student designer out of art school offering bodywork of their own design to customize your favorite generic sportbike? t

    I’ve thought about the kit bodywork often, but the problem is that smaller manufacturers (ie: under 500 units a year) will have a delay before they get their hands on a new model. (lets say an r6) add 3 months before the final product is ready for sale, and you have maybe 18-20 months to make people aware of it before the new, improved r6 comes out. I’ve also noticed that a lot of squids get collision coverage, so when the bike goes down, the insurance buys them a new one, and usually sticks a salvage title on the leftover motorcycle.

    But that’s the point, Aaron. Last years RRwhatever isn’t as cool as the latestgreatest, but it’s still a damn fine machine. Few are going to buy the newest (and most expensive) bike and then forego everyone recognizing that they are cool enough to have it. But something from two seasons past is every bit as fast in the real world and only in need of a new suit. Those who shelled out for insurance just put a dinged version on the market, and those who didn’t pay up now need new threads for their bikes.
    Of course, I have no idea what it actually costs to do a low count production run (say, a few dozen to a couple hundred) of bodywork, but I think it would be a great way for a senior design student to get their name out.
    Maybe we could form the kneeslider design scholarship fund, and run a contest to re-dress a late-model bike for design students. Pick one every year, and shoot out a couple dozen examples of some cutting edge design. Somebody gets some press, and we get to see more art on the road. Sell the plastics to art/design loving bikers, and the whole thing pays for itself.
    Somebody get on that.
