BMW channeling Tron
« on: October 12, 2016, 03:07:53 PM »

It's a new 100. Vision Next 100, to be exact. Newest Beemer concept.

Hopefully the electrics are reliable.  ;)

I thought BMW did drug testing. Apparently not.

I thought BMW was a touring bike company. Where are the side cases gonna go? Where's the pillion for Momma Bear?

Let us just hope the driveshaft and paralever issues are corrected.  What BMW crap that designs are.

i think you could easily outrun the Master Control Program on one of those

This is an illegal exit--you must return to the grid...

No helmet requirement for faking. Amazing what you can do with Cinema 4D.

are we struggling with the 'concept'  As I watched the whole story the ideas and vision are intriguing.  The 'tail piece ' is nice too .

I think we'll need squirrels, woodchucks, deer, moose, kangaroos, thylacines, pythons and other less techno savvy road users to go along with the concept, too.

I'm not sure the above mentioned entities were part of the concept 100 years ago..... those new tires would certainly flatten a squirrel   :hehehe

Of course it still looks like a motoboxer even though it's electric

Not to nitpick.. but There is only one brand that is related to TRON, and that is Ducati  :eek:

(the 750 ss for old man Flynn and the Ducati 1000 Sport for young boy Flynn  :deal: )
