This dual purpose off road/touring bike inspires growls of "…sweet!" By reducing the weight by 30 lbs. and increasing horsepower, BMW has made an easier handling bike with a more exciting ride.

• The appearance communicates a natural progression of the BMW product line.
• By integrating the "beak" into the lines of the vehicle, more compactness and a better look is achieved.

"With this model, BMW Motorrad has set the standard in the dual-purpose class. This kind of ease of handling and safety, combined with a striking look and incredible attention to detail, redefines the premium two-wheeler." - Amy Hiroshige, IDSA, Manager Design, Mitsubishi Motors Design America
