BMW has taken things up a bit at the Intermot Motorcycle Show in Cologne, Germany, with the unveiling of four new models. Three of the brand new designs are the product of the German manufacturer’s latest model series, a lineup of 652cc single-cylinder designs. The most significant development at the Intermot show, at least as far as BMW is concerned, is the unveiling of its all-new G650X series.
Powered by a 652cc Single, the new designs represent the lightest-powered machines in the Beemer inventory. Although any kind of dirt-oriented Beemer grabs a lot of attention, the new 650 series won’t be one-dimensional, as there will three different versions available: a dirt-oriented enduro labeled the Xchallenge; a supermoto street machine dubbed the Xmoto; and a dual-sporty ride named the Xcountry.
BMW Motorrad is proud to present the new Megamoto, which is based on the BMW HP2 Enduro, this unique motorcycle will rank right at the top among all street-legal two-cylinder Supermotos beacuse of its supreme performance and the use of top-class materials.
The former “grey cardigan” of motorcycle companies is going after younger riders, but not just men racers, with its first parallel-twin-powered motorcycle. With a whole new generation of sharper, sportier bikes in its repertoire, BMW is letting go of its image as an old rider’s bike company. And now comes the F 800, BMW’s first parallel twin; an entry level sports-oriented bike.
