WOW! I was wondering what might compell me to trade "up" the HP1258S!
 Obviously a handmade machine based on the hexhead, but did they sleeve it down to make it a 900? I do like the historic paint and design cues. It reminds me of the NEW Norton Commando in approach. Sweet, and probably more cash than it can really justify! http://www.autoblog.com/2013/05/24/bmw-concept-90-motorcycle-debuts-at-villa-deste/

Funny that they'd test that thing at Willow Springs...

I love it, but my big behind won't fit on that.

Looks way nicer than my original R100S. Are you sure it's an RT engine as the original S was the R90S as it shows on the bodywork. I'm not sure on the 900 but the 1000S/RS motor was a higher output than the R/RT motors.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...and is completely a matter of individual aesthetic preferences...
At my advanced age, it's completely impossible that I would ever buy a cafe style bike. But in my admittedly biased opinion, this retro mod style machine is EFFING AWESOME!!!

I know why they did it, but the one thing that's bothering me is the way they added that engine badge. For some reason its bothering me. I like the look of the rest of the bike a lot actually.
There's a video in this link that shows the bike on the track. It looks pretty good in live action. |

The Concept Ninety has the 110bhp air/oil-cooled Boxer twin from the previous generation of BMW R1200GS but combines it with a pared back style and a front cowling similar to that of the original 1973 R90S; it even has the same Daytona Orange paintscheme and the short rear seat.

BMW Paul Smart.
 A very special bike....beautiful.... but almost impossible to ride in a full race crouch all the time. I suspect this BMW would be that same way. That said, if you can afford garage art, which I can't, then this would be a wonderful edition. I still miss Mr. Smart.....hope he's still tucked away in Linville.

Nice looking art project, but there's just something not right about the rake angle of the front fork. Looks more like a chopper design than a sportbike chassis. BMW should have done a colaberation with a chassis designer and a conceptual artist instead of just the artist route. Maybe it handles great, but I doubt we will ever know for sure since that was probably never the point anyway.
