The bike, announced earlier last year, is a typical BMW roadster with a 2-cylinder boxer engine, single-sided swing arm with cardan drive and a light tubular space frame. It interprets these classic elements in the most state-of-the-art, dynamic form.
The BMW boxer engine has always promised impressive performance and supreme power delivery across the entire engine speed range. In its latest generation it generates 125bhp at 7,750 rpm from 1,170 cc with a maximum torque of 125Nm at 6,500 rpm. The engine is also visually mid-point of the BMW Concept Roadster.
The compact proportions with low front and high rear form a wedge-shaped silhouette around it which accelerates the bike even when stationary. The crouching posture with a powerful focus on the front wheel and the very short rear promise agile, light-footed handling.
The LED headlamp shows off the distinctive "face" of the roadster, giving it a technical look.
Open to the public from April 17 to 19 at Bukit Kiara Equestrian and Country Resort, Kuala Lumpur, BMW World Malaysia will feature the largest display of premium BMW automobiles in the country.
Tickets are now available at RM18 per entry.
