You decide. This is the motto behind the BMW Lo Rider, which aims to give more power to the rider, as per the new concept study unveiled by BMW Motorrad at the EICMA in Milan. This time too, the curators have tried their best to generate the ultimate emotional connection between the beast and the owner. The customer is free to decide about the overall design of the bike including positioning of the exhaust system, seats, chassis, handlebars, headlamp units and other finishes. The lightweight roadster is basically designed to give you maximum fun with a 2-cylinder flat “Boxer” engine capable of 100 bhp, Paralever single-sided swingarm, USD fork, lowered chassis for sporty driving dynamics, 6-piston brake calipers and 17-inch wide tyres for that real grip. There are a range of accessories too, to make you a complete rider, loaded with leather jackets, helmets, boots, gloves, and protector jeans.
