BMW Concept 90 Motorcycle debuts at Villa d'Este

[JHF]

The Concept 90 is one of two new vehicles BMW is showing off at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the tony shores of Lake Como in Italy. This year is the 90th anniversary ofBMW Motorrad and the 40th anniversary of the R 90 S (inset) - the first production motorcycle to come with a front fairing - and BMW has worked with custom bike builder Roland Sands Design to craft a homage to the Daytona Orange boxer from the Seventies.

While following the line of its forbearer, obviously the Concept 90 has been sexed and sleeked up. The bodywork is of hand-worked aluminum, the giant halogen lamp of the 1975 model (which is when Daytona Orange was introduced) has gone LED, and the front engine cover, valve covers, exhaust and wheels have been made with a contrast-cut milling process.

For a finer description of the Concept 90 check out the press release below, or skip the words and go straight to the high-res images above.

I'm not getting any bigger, and the passageways I travel on aren't allowing me to go any faster, and yet my conveyances get bigger and bigger and more powerful...what is the point. Moaaarrr, moaarr, moarrr.....I do not want to go down that road.

I know this is only a concept and no numbers have been attached to it. Monday blues? Just been a long time since I've been excited about anything new. The Alfa 4C seems like a neat bit...?
