is that set in stone? or a concept. looks like the latter to me.

 

What is up with that cylinder bank angle? Doesnt look like it has a V motor. Also, I am really digging the lack of front forks.

 

what the fuck is that?

 

you can tell all that from just looking at 2 pictures? fuck dude, you're damn good.

 

it looks like a hot rod bike. The front is a bit more garish than I'd imagine the "upscale" bmw buyer would want though.

 

That shit is some kinda hideous.

 

That center of gravity is not ideal for racing. You want the center of gravity as close to the axis of rotation as possible (which is not the contact patch). So im wondering hwy you think its a good center of gravity?

 

The weight ideally needs to be low and to the front but I think that's what you're saying. Rock on.

 

No, you want a higher center of gravity (than what this bike appaears to have). The axis of pivot is much higher than most people realize.

 

I wish i could find a diagram. When you turn the bike left, the wheels, tires (and everything under the pivot axis) move to the right, while your head, body, and everything else above the pivot axis move left. The bike does not pivot on the tires. If the center of gravity is too low, the bike will fall into a turn, and then NOT want to come back up. Higher center of gravity requires more work to lean the bike over, but it comes back up easier. It has to do with how far you are moving the center mass (the engine).
