BMW unveiled the BMW Motorrad Definition CE 04 earlier today at its #NextGen 2020, er, streamcast and it looks like something straight out of Akira.
"The BMW Motorrad Definition CE 04 is the logical continuation of the electromobility strategy for urban conurbations and provides a concrete preview of what a contemporary production vehicle could look like..." said Edgar Heinrich, Head of Design at BMW Motorrad in a press release.
I'm not sure what that means, but the press release continues by stating that "while the BMW Motorrad Concept Link in 2017 still seemed like a vision far from the future, the BMW Motorrad Definition CE 04 in 2020 transfers the radical design of the Concept Link to production readiness with almost unchanged design."
Or something like it? Yes. There's something about today's "sportbike" look that doesn't appeal to me, and that's part of why I'm so interested in the recent explosion of the e-scrambler form factor. But this? This I would ride.
