BMW Vision K18 Concept Revealed: Futuristic Luxury Touring Bike Inspired by Aircraft Design

The design of the motorcycle is also heavily influenced by the massive 1800cc engine that powers it. BMW has taken this engine and made it the main focus of the design through the creation of a long sculpted base that creates the perfect view of how beautiful and emotionally connected the motorcycle is. The motorbikes are built using aviation styled body work, aircraft type construction, and utilize innovative design and production methods developed for the aeronautics industry.

The VW Vision K18 utilizes six air inlets, six exhausts, and six LED headlights to project/communicate the horse power of an engine with a six cylinder arrangement. Around the completed body of the bike, BMW has provided misty areas as a special visual effect, which signify the heat and force produced by the high-power produced while utilizing an engine is working.

The bike has been made using handcrafted aluminum panels, with carbon fiber and polished metal for detailing. The largest single piece of the bike is considered to be the two meters long side panel, which is shaped to appear as if it were carved out of one solid piece of material.

The BMW Vision K18 employs pan aviation-grade cooling systems, hydraulic suspension components, and provides for an aerodynamic appearance with the air collector housing system being redesigned to tunnel cold air through the motorcycle engine and enhance engine cooling.

More than just the next evolution of the motorcycle, the BMW Vision K18 has also been established as a masterpiece that previews 21st century BMW Motorrad Touring Motorcycles development focusing on providing bike riders with a combination of innovative style, exceptional performance, and superior craft quality.
