This is nuts, although not specifically R1200R. At first I thought it was a joke. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/bmws- ... r-to-speed

Interesting.

huge motor taking up way too much space, but interesting, nonetheless, and certainly not another "me too" I dig the idea!

wonder if the view from the other side is a big air filter....

That's quite radical, just an idea at this point?

BMW did"some " radial engines for aircrafts looong time ago with a more than good success./Fokerwolf f-190/a nightmear even for P51 mustangs.....so, a modified star engine segment coul work.Definitly need a mods,but it is apsolutly immeginebel.And BMW is capable to do it,period.A good money investment,knowledge is right there,and the 3cyl.W engine is born.The biggest question is the first one,called MONEY.And certenly as not as last...the market.
