A brown leather strip separates these two distinct sections. On the seat, two leather qualities further reflect the bike’s exclusive character: the fine-grain black leather of the side sections adds a touch of elegance to complement the perforated black leather of the seat area itself. The model designation is integrated in the wood surfaces as an elaborate aluminium insert and badge. The elaborately milled wood, only treated with oil, emphasises the horizontal gesture of the side sections with its discreet grain. The aluminium’s modern, technological statement is supplemented in the bike’s lower section by means of generous carbon surfaces with a silky gloss.Īmid silver paint surfaces, brushed aluminium and carbon, there are dark wood elements that add a warm, exclusive counterpoint. The dynamic front trim adds a touch of cool, technical style with its unpainted, brushed aluminium. The paint finish also includes a shadow effect which gives the manually applied line marking greater depth towards the inside. The two areas are separated by a line marking applied by hand. The side trim parts and cases feature an elaborate two-colour finish: a light silver surrounds the surface while the inner section is a somewhat darker silver with more of a metallic effect. The entire design of the “Concept 101” right through to the colours and materials used reflects power, contemporary flair and exclusive appeal. Two side cases integrated in streamlined form add the final touch of a quintessential bagger. At the same time, the characteristic styling of the bike visually suggests a forward urge. Below this, the large front wheel appears to pull the flat, stretched silhouette behind it. Unlike the low front section and the high rear of supersports motorcycles, the BMW Motorrad “Concept 101” has a drop-shaped silhouette that is typical of baggers, reaching the highest point at the front trim. The very elongated and streamlined silhouette is especially striking from a distance. This vision is expressed in the BMW interpretation of a “bagger” – an exclusive type of custom bike especially popular in the USA. A bike that would make the moment so special, you would forget your destination,” explains Ola Stenegard, Head of Vehicle Design BMW Motorrad. ![]() It was not far from Highway 101, at the design studios of the BMW Group subsidiary Designworks in Newbury Park, California, that the BMW Motorrad designers got together with their Designworks colleagues to create a truly special motorcycle that would extend the limits of quality and exclusivity and reflect a whole new touring philosophy: “We had a clear vision when we were designing the bike: under the motto “The Spirit of the Open Road” we wanted to build a high-performance, emotional and highly exclusive 6-cylinder vehicle that would make every ride a special experience.
