Inside BMW’s Mighty 110-Cubic-Inch “Big Boxer”

Post by CycleRob »

Coming soon to a dealer near you. A new air/oil cooled, dry clutch, long and low, clean and smoothly styled cruiser. There are decent graphic cutaways, good photos and descriptive outlines. See for yourself: https://www.cycleworld.com/story/bikes/ ... big-boxer/

Noteworthy is the single hidden shock Hard-Tail looking rear swing arm and concession(?) to again using a space saving, lower cost, permanent magnet alternator. Putting the oil radiator right in the front tire's dirt/sand/pebble discharge zone should require some protective solution ductwork.

I predict the superior handling, comfort, power, braking, quality and latest generation engineering BMW is known for means they will sell well.

Actually, there's hope for commercial 1800 Telelever model - if Revival's engineering and coordination with BMW was valid.

ooo - interesting!!


I hope they build a large-tourer around the engine, Not a cruiser-tourer, but a 'Pan-Euro'/R-RT type bike. If Triumph had made an R-RT type of bike out of the Rocket3 out I would have bought one.
