Is this happening or is MCN postulating? I haven't seen a copy today.


If BMW build it, it will be awesome but it'll be a lot heavier than the Scrambler and it'll be at least £10k so not really competition for the Scrambler. That pic shows it with the old 1200 Boxer engine, no doubt twin cam so it'll have plenty of stomp.

That's beautiful. And if BMW simply started making airheads again people would show up willingly with money in hand. I say bring on the retro revival.

Looks super heavy! What is that a 6 gallon tank on that thing?

Hmm sure looks like a lot like the one off custom Max Hazan just did...

The Scrambler BMW should have made? | Bike EXIF

The salesman I bought my R nineT off recently had a private viewing of BMW's incoming Scrambler, (so it definitely exists). He was so taken with it that it's the first bike for a long time that he's going to buy himself when it's launched. (The one he looked at had a cool, dark matte paint finish).

I certainly think that Ducati have somewhat forced some of the other dealers' hands by launching the Scrambler, particularly in the light of its evident success. I'll be interested to see how Triumph respond with their Classics range...

I think they've all had their eyes on bikeexif. People have responded really well to the whole cafe/brat/bobber/scrambler custom bikes. And everyone longs for these long out-of-production bikes from almost every maker. You can almost predict which bikes each company is going to be re-imagining.

I have to say the Kawasaki H2 is nothing like the original

Looks sweet. The more the merrier. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Et al. So cool. Love the movement.
