2009 BMW Lo Rider Concept

2009 BMW Lo Rider Concept

The BMW Lo Rider – sporty, purist roadster study with an individually
variable design.

Purist, powerful, unfaired and reduced to the absolute essentials – these
few words provide an incomplete description of the BMW Lo Rider, the new
concept study by BMW Motorrad. At fi rst sight, the focus would seem to be
on the creation of a roadster with a muscular appearance, openly displayed
technology and powerful fl at twin engine for pure emotion and maximum
motorcycling fun. But behind all this is in fact a completely new custom
concept.

The bike’s low weight, the powerful and high-torque fl at twin engine and
high-quality chassis technology give it a high level of sporty riding dynamics,
while the lowered chassis and the relaxed yet active seating position with the
broad handlebars are more of a loan from cruisers and naked bikes.

The concept is such that, for the fi rst time, the customer can be involved
in the design of the BMW Lo Rider to an extent which goes beyond what
has previously been possible to date. Numerous options including different
exhaust systems, seats, headlamp units and paint fi nish variations allow for
a level of customisation which is far greater than the familiar individualisation
by means of special equipment features and accessories. This means that
the entire character of the vehicle can be adapted to the customer’s individual
taste: the customer can take full pleasure in assembling a machine just as he
wants it – from a cool cruiser to an aggressive muscle bike.

• Combines current technology with modern and classic stylistic elements.
• Design elements can be individually combined by the customer.
• Raised or lowered exhaust system, as preferred.
• Seat for one or two as preferred, or aluminium perch seat.
• Headlamp unit in classic shape or in streetfi ghter style, as preferred.
• Fuel tank with or without aluminium trim, as preferred.
• Four paint fi nishes for the fuel tank.
• Three paint fi nishes for the engine casing.
• Front and rear wheel wings fi nished either in black or chrome, as preferred.
