BMW Motorrad - Vision Next 100

Tachometer Blog | BMW Motorrad - Vision Next 100

"Glasses instead of a helmet, light clothing, full balance without a stand". These are some ideas of future motorcycling in the vision of BMW Motorrad.

Here is more:


Some places like in Finland helmet is not only safety equipment. It keeps also the head warm. Instead of glasses the same information could be shown in the visor of the helmet.

Interesting to see the future of the electric motorcycles. At the moment the biggest electric motorcycles company is Zero.
