The "rear view" certainly does not look right for a connection to a transmission or a flywheel. But what is also interesting, is the views to me indicate the transmission will still be a separate case from the engine. that indicates it will still be a dry clutch as on past R's, and that the tranny will have its own oil supply. Those are both attributes I have always liked about the R-bikes.
Then we need to see the actual front view, because that is where the water pump, oil pump(s?) and ignition would have to be. Hmm again!
Let me be the first
Which oil for the water cooled engine?

Well, if there was nothing to gain with fitting a watercooler, they wouldn't do it I guess. Maybe the only way to make the boxers faster and comply to the emission standards, is by making it watercooled.But I can't say I'm much enthused at the idea of carrying around another radiator and pump, coolant, and water hoses - I hope BMW will do something that gives this motor a little pizzazz. Maybe higher revs, better sound, lighter weight, more HP, etc. For me, lower emissions is not nearly enough. Sorry.
