BMW's 100 year Anniversary Bike

For what it's worth...


I won't buy a new BMW, until 1) It is air-cooled - yeah, I know, emissions level are harder to attain - I don't care ... WORK ON IT! 2) I can maintain it myself and fix it with the on-board tool kit, 3) it doesn't have so much bodywork on it that it looks like a car, better yet, how 'bout no bodywork,4) it's shaft-driven, 5) and this is a big one ... it weighs less than 460 pounds wet, and 6) the biggest one ... it costs $6,000, or so.

I think it's safe to say with those "out-of-touch-with-reality" requirements, you won't be buying a new motorcycle from any manufacturer.
 
2 Suzuki DR650 cylinders in a boxer configuration would provide proof of concept.
It won’t come from BMW, though. Maybe a Chinese factory will build a modern Marusho?
