BMW's at it again.
Motorrad has created a concept to join its four-wheeled brethren from BMW's batch of Next 100 design studies. These concept cars have pointed the way forward for BMW, Mini, and Rolls-Royce so far; [COLOR=inherit !important]the Motorrad Vision Next 100 is what happens when BMW's boffins apply sci-fi tech to two-wheeled vehicles[/COLOR].
BMW
That starts with the frame, wrapping front to back and eschewing the mechanical linkages of its second-millennium-A.D. predecessors. There's no rear swing arm, nor anything resembling a traditional suspension. Instead, BMW says the Flexframe adjusts based on steering inputs and road conditions, bending and reforming to suit its rider while providing a kind of adaptive steering that's slower at high speeds and quicker at low speeds. The system integrates the tires, which have variable tread that adjusts on the fly to improve grip.
The engine may seem mildly reminiscent of the iconic boxer, but on the inside, BMW claims the Motorad Next 100 is fitted with a "zero-emissions drive unit" which we assume is powered by distilled unicorn farts. It, too, morphs depending on speed, with the "boxer cylinders" tucking in when parked and extending outward while riding to boost aerodynamics and improve rider comfort. BMW says the motorcycle is "self-balancing", but as with the engine, doesn't get into pesky technical details.
BMW
Because of that theoretical anti-tipping safety feature and aero-tested surfaces that shield the rider as effectively as a full fairing, BMW says anyone could throw a leg over the Next 100 without a helmet or bulky protective gear and be safe. But even riders of the future still would to shield their eyes from errant bugs and gravel, so BMW has thrown in an eye-controlled visor that overlays all the data a rider could want onto the road ahead.

Good afternoon. I had never been to Scotland where it never rained, that was a first. It was a very tearful time, but nice to know that Mary went so peacefully. Other than exploring the town did not see much in the short time we were there. Had a nice BBQ the last night with friends. Also saw almost all the Blue Jays games, the last one did not start till almost one in the morning so only saw part of it, as we had to get up and fly out the next morning. What a night for Matthews last night, and even better I thought Marnier was even better than that, looks to be a great future!

Good Afternoon to my Q-Chums! I hope everyone is good, and I really need to catch up on all the posts. It has been crazy time and I have finally been able to breath this past Thanksgiving Weekend! Even got a round of golf in on Monday! Only break I had before this weekend was being able to go to last weeks Wild Card Game! What a blast! GO JAYS GO!
For you Leaf fans, congrats on Austin Matthews, this kid is going to be a superstar!
Off to Aruba early Saturday morning and then hope to be back here more consistently!
Be safe and enjoy the upcoming week!Feeling unknown and you're all alone, flesh and bones by the telephone,
lift up the receiver, I'll make you a believer!
Take second best, put me to the test, things on your chest, you need to confess!
I will deliver, you know I'm a forgiver!
