Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Could it not have been possible to have it a V6 instead of a Straight6; make it a little narrower?

Mmmmm I like - if they put the motor into the next generation K1300GT, K1300S, or K1300R then I would be interested. I wouldn't buy a Goldwing or a BMW LT though, so in the LT application it would be useless to me.

BMW make the best straight sixes in the world. Little argument about that.
What a great concept. Lets hope it becomes a reality within reach of the masses. Means the Japs will be out to top it. It can only be good for us all.

and lets not forget the Benelli 6 's they made a 750 and 1000cc across the frame 6cyl.
Honda had success racing with a GP 125cc 5 cylinder that did 18,000rpm
and then a 250cc 6 cyl that revved up to 25,000rpm in the 1960s. After that the rules were changed 125s had to be singles and 250 max of twin.
