World Premier: The BMW Concept Ninety by Roland Sands

Mercenary bike designer and erstwhile professional motorcycle racer Roland Sands was tapped by BMW to build a one-of-a-kind tribute to BMW\'s iconic R 90 S. This, as yet another stop in the 90 Years of BMW Motorrad celebration parade. Dubbed the \"Concept Ninety\", this is a new interpretation of what is for many the sexiest bike BMW has ever made.

Renderings Surface of BMW\’s upcoming \”Boxer\” Model

Late last year at EICMA in Milan, BMW Motorrad announced their intention to introduce a \"Boxer\" model to celebrate 90 years of making motorcycles. At the time <a href=\"http://s3.bimmerfile.com.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/P901079041-e1363971701891.jpg\">this image</a> was all they were giving the world in terms of what to expect, but it didn\'t take a genius to predict that the \"Boxer\" would likely just be a more naked and more \"cafe\" version of BMW\'s R 1200 R roadster. Personally, I would have loved to see a new, midsize 800cc air-cooled boxer twin, but I didn\'t have very high hopes for that. Engine dreams aside, today the internet is abuzz with concept renderings of the \"Boxer\" model.

Video: Gratuitous R 1200 GS Engine Porn

With the 2013 R 1200 GS, BMW has done something completely new with the iconic engine: added liquid cooling. However, it\'s important to understand that this new engine is only partially cooled by the wet stuff. As demonstrated in the video above, water cooled in the GS\'s radiators is circulated through the engine\'s block, cylinders and the very bottom of the drivetrain. The rest of the engine\'s cooling is provided by good old fashioned ambient airflow.
