The precedent has been set many times. Look how many models the F800, R1200, K1200 and K1300 engines are powering.

I think it's probably similar to the K1300S (which is ~6" more than most Japanese repliracers), but the concept bike has no pillion seat and whatnot behind the rider.
I hope this sells better than the K1200R, which is one of my all time faves. Especially with the V-Max & Ducati Diavel in the market.

Ummm, I don't see what you guys are seeing.
Not to be negative here but it looks like a juiced up DN01.
Sorry,

Had to make room for 2 unnecessary exhaust outlets. Pull it in that much, and it looks much better balanced.

If you look at it from this angle the swingarm doesn't look any longer than any other BMW:

I measured it on my screen and the swingarm is only an inch long or thereabouts
