Interesting change of concept for BM in more that one way Multi plate clutch pack, Drive at left side and the water cooling

But I'd be worried about so many chains all over the bloody place considering the crap quality of some components in the last few years !! :rob

Doesn't seem to be any more chains to me
 
Would a water cooled engine have the cooling fins?
 
5 posts in and no 1200 nay-sayers, this place is slipping ;)

Come back JB & Timolgra all is forgiven..........
 
I wonder if the removal of the larger diameter flywheel and clutch will reduce the torque available (or at least shift it's curve so high in the rev range that it will feel less torquey)

Anyway it won't be any good that's a given:D

Well I nearly said something:

S-Kraft? If it's a genuine BMW proposal, I'd have expected to see their logo somewhere. :nenau

I'm more inclined to think that it's an engineering-design studio doodle.

If it's not a geniune BMW proposal I sure hope they have seen it as it's an extremely clever evolution.

Integrating the gearbox with the motor crankcase by stacking it under the multiplate clutch is a masterpiece of thinking - reducing the input shaft revs of the box ( if the gearing does this ) provides the opportunity for an even slicker change and with the clutch being wet and residing above, easier access is provided for a plate change.

The weight saving over a separate gearbox would mean the additional watercooling kit and coolant may not add to the current weight of the bike. The coolant input / outputs are not shown but if the coolant is routed internally from a centrally located entry / exit point the result would be super neat..!

We can see from the cam lobe positions that the cams now operate same purpose valves e.g. inlet at top. It seems safe to assume the throttle body on the outer pot confirms this neater arrangement meaning the the exhaust ports would be opposed and underneath the heads. The resultant manifold / cat and pipe work would give additional oportunities for added tidiness.

However the new bike turns out I do hope it's at least as clever as the thinking demonstrated here.
 
I'm a bit confused as to what this means for ground clearance, air intake / airbox design. And what about oil? Where does the sump go in that thing?

And good to see that the clutch would be as easy to service as ever.
 
AFAIK the barrels are watercoold and that's it.

Not much of a job to place a radiator, but I'm liking vertical injectors.....

:JB
 
So, we're gonna need a new section on here. Air-heads, oil-heads and now piss-heads :D
