Wunderlich

The leg rest is a common additional feature on a cruiser because it allows you to stretch your legs out now and then. 

  • Wunderlich’s latest innovations allow you to rest your legs on the BMW R18.
  • The leg rest sits above the boxer cylinder heads, away from the engine heat.

Some cruisers allow you to rest your leg on the footboards, or if you don’t have any, the engine guard is probably the next thing you can think of.

Even so, if the cruiser you’re riding has a massive 1,800cc boxer twin (yes, we are referring to the BWM R18), you have absolutely zero space to properly rest your leg during long rides.

However, thanks to Wunderlich’s latest leg rest, you can now safely rest your leg on the cylinder heads of the R18.

Wunderlich’s latest leg rest for the R18 is mounted on three separate points on the boxer engine. Interestingly, it doesn’t need additional support to work but is just a simple plug-and-play.

 

The leg rest is made from steel tubing and is precisely welded to form a top-quality platform to rest your legs. Also, the component is handmade in Germany and fits the R18 overall aesthetics.

That said, the leg rest sits above the cylinder head, so you wouldn’t suffer so much from the heat coming from the engine.

As for the price, the Wunderlich leg rest will cost you EUR379 (RM1.7k). If it seems pricey, then it is likely you don’t have the BMW R18 in your garage, just like us.

  • Motosikal BMW S 675 R Concept ini telah dilakar oleh pereka industrial Nicolas Petit.
  • Terdapat hanya segelintir sahaja pengeluar yang masih menghasilkan motosikal 600cc.
  • BMW belum mengumumkan sama ada mereka akan menjinakkan diri dalam segmen supersport 600cc.

  • This BMW S 675 RR Concept was drawn up by industrial designer Nicolas Petit.

  • There a very few manufacturers who are still producing sub-600cc bikes.

  • BMW has not announced if they are venturing into the 600cc supersport segment.

It’s probably an understatement that BMW Motorrad has done it right with the S 1000 RR supersport bike. The model continues to sell well, despite BMW not competing in both MotoGP and WSBK, and the shrinking supersport segment.

That fact is probably attributable to it being a BMW and that it features the latest motorcycle technologies, besides being priced to rival the Japanese superbikes.

However, there’s a huge hole in the 600cc segment, pretty much abandoned by almost every manufacturer except a few. While 1000cc supersport bikes are more appealing due to their higher power outputs and specs, it’s actually more fun to ride a 600cc supersport bike in the real world.

If BMW is interested, who knows if the S 675 RR (or whatever cc) may look like in these conceptual art, produced by freelance industrial designer Nicolas Petit, for Wunderlich.

Petit’s concept bears the familiar lines of the S 1000 RR and is instantly recognizable. But what we like best is its simplicity, eschewing the unnecessary and leaving only those parts that serve their purpose.

Petit had also “stylised” the S 675 R naked bike and S 675 XR sport-tourer concepts.

BMW Motorrad has been caught testing what could be the new S 1000 RR for 2018 or 2019, but will they dip into the 600cc category? The world’s motorcycle market is kind of soft lately and more and more buyers are looking into buying smaller displacement bikes, after all. Besides that, it seems that BMW Motorrad has the habit of outselling their competitors.

 

  • Telah tersebar satu khabar angin yang amat menarik mengatakan BMW sedang mengusahakan sebuah motosikal cruiser 1,600c yang bakal dilancarkan pada Pertunjukan EICMA tahun ini di Milan.
  • Motosikal BMW R1600C Concept yang dibina oleh Wunderlich dan Nicolas Petit merupakan calon terkuat untuk untuk ditukarkan kepada sebuah motosikal yang sebenar dalam usaha BMW menembusi pasaran motosikal cruiser dengan jayanya.
  • Visi mereka telah melahirkan sebuah super cruiser dengan rekaan yang kekar dengan enjin ‘boxer-twin’ yang lebih gagah yang tampak seperti satu formula sempurna bagi sebuah motosikal cruiser pengeluaran BMW yang julung kalinya.

There’s a very interesting rumour going around town that BMW is currently working on a 1,600cc cruiser to be launched at this year’s EICMA Show in Milan.

The BMW R1600C Concept conjured up by Wunderlich and Nicolas Petit is quite a strong candidate to be turned into the real thing for BMW to penetrate the cruiser market successfully.

Their visions has led to a super cruiser with muscular design and an even more muscular 1,600cc boxer-twin engine which sounds like the perfect formula for BMW’s first ever production cruiser.

Looks like BMW Motorrad is starting to dip their hands into the cruiser category yet again. It has been rumoured that BMW will be introducing the BMW R1600C super cruiser in this year’s EICMA show which is going to be held in Milan, Italy this coming November. (more…)
