Bold style meets high-level engineering. The R20 concept represents our vision of a Roadster. A unique masterpiece with an unmistakeable element at its core: the Big Boxer.

The impressive silhouette delights both the eyes and the heart when glancing over the hand-finished seat to the short, striking rear. The sculptural tank is a real eye-catcher with its signal color. Pink! The R20 concept will celebrate its highly anticipated début in style at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. Concept bike. Not for sale. Wathc the video from Bike World:
The centerpiece of the BMW R20 concept is, of course, its mammoth 2000cc air-oil-cooled boxer engine. New cylinder head covers, a new belt cover and a new oil cooler were developed for the concept bike in order to be able to mount the partially hidden oil pipes. The chassis has been redeveloped too, with a black double-loop main frame made of chrome-molybdenum steel tubes forming the backbone.

The R 20 is styled as a “roadster” with the bare minimums of accoutrements: a solo seat, gas tank and the required lights and switch gear. To top it off, the gas tank is hot pink, so this bike is hard to miss. The taillight is integrated into the single seat, which is upholstered with quilted black Alcantara and fine-grain leather. A modern LED headlight is presented in form of a 3D-printed aluminium ring with integrated daytime running light.
