Recently, the head of BMW Motorrad, Markus Flasch, published an image depicting several test R20 motorcycles, indicating that production of the machine may soon start. Contrasting with the nostalgic design features of the R18 and the old BMW R1200 C, the R20 seems to adopt a performance-driven look.

Moreover, while discussing the R20 motorcycle, Flasch referred to the Yamaha MT-01 cruiser, pointing towards BMW’s possibility of producing a performance cruiser featuring a massive boxer engine and agile handling characteristics. In spite of the lack of details, the recent pictures of the R20 motorcycle show that it sports road tires, possibly 17-inch wheels, a chain-based shaft drive system, and a dynamic posture for riders. Also, the R20 gets a single-seater design and a more developed exhaust system than the previous prototype.
