It seems the folks over at BMW Motorad<\/a> are getting their retro on. With the fortieth anniversary of the lovely sports bike that was the BMW R90S approaching – they teamed up with Roland Sands Design<\/a> in California to produce a beautiful one-off.<\/p>\n

For our money, the bike produced reminds us of Suzuki’s Katana<\/a> with it’s long, low profile and rakish lines – and doesn’t seem to evoke particularly closely the far more chunky profile of the original bike. the visual reference may or may not be a nod to Hans Muth – who, we believe, oversaw both the original R90S and the blade-like Suzuki. Still – no matter: no point in recreating the same bike – rather, we suppose, infuse a contemporary machine with the spirit of adventure that BMW breathed into the classic back in the day.<\/p>\n

Below is a very, very nice video. It’s easy to over egg the pudding when you talk about motorbikes and design – but we reckon there’s a loving mix of tech and passion that has gone into the making of this special bike. We’d love to see something like it go into production.<\/p>\n
