M/C of the future?
10/12/16 at 10:39:07

BMW's vision of the m/c of the future..

http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/bmws-motorrad-vision-next-100-concept-motor...

It only needs a retractable canopy to look like a bike from "TRON"
No rear fender, and all kinds of hi-tech krap to make your riding experience more "pure"!
NO THANKS!!! Why do they insist on telling us we should have tons of things ''automatically'' done for us? Do these designers have their heads so far up their ass's they never ride?

"Without the need for a helmet or protective gear?"

I guess they are going to keep folks from pulling out or turning in front of us.....and controlling those pesky deer?

If the motorcycle is in control of the movement and reaction of the bike.....it sounds way too "sanitary" for me. I want to be involved in the riding process.......not just be a passenger on the trip.

Then again, I fairly certain that I (or my children for that matter) will not be riding that contraption 100 years from now.

Of course, it's a show bike never to be ridden.
it has elements that'll injure the rider in an accident or even during aggressive riding.
if I'm going to put on eye protection... that'll be impacted by the irreverent bug from time to time... I don't want that impact taken up by the nose bridge... gimme a freaken helmet. dine al fresco anyone?
Yeah, gimme a stupid hand wave for a turn signal... you guys ever heard of voice command? or better yet, let go thought control (you must think in german)
BTW, leave it to the germans to divorce the Zen of riding and concentrate on the machines of priest.
