BMW Lightens Up EICMA With Carbon-Fiber HP4 Race Concept Bike

BMW Motorrad is among the dozens of motorcycle manufacturers displaying its latest rides at the EICMA show in Milan this week. But what caught our attention more than its production models is the future prototype pictured here.
Called the HP4 Race, the concept motorcycle is envisions Munich's next flagship sport bike built extensively out of carbon fiber. The entire frame is made from carbon, as are the wheels.
Further details won't be released until the spring, but we can expect a 1000cc inline-four kicking out a good 200 horsepower, top-shelf components, and a price tag to match.
What's more is that it's destined for production, however limited, in the second half of next year. So fans of the Bavarian motorcycle manufacturer can look forward to something even more extreme (and lighter) than the current S 1000 RR. In the meantime, you can check out the concept bike in the images and teaser video clip below.
2年半後に、限定で発売されるようです。
エンジンマウント部分のカーボン化は、高温で劣化しない超高価な接着剤を使うそうだが、コスト問題は改善できたのだろうか。
BMWのカーボンは、自社生産ですからね。
ブレイクスルーしたっぽいです。
ホイールは、通常のプリプレグで問題ないと思います。
