BMW, perhaps more than most other longtime auto manufacturers, & embraces odd designs and out-of-the-box concepts. You don’t need to look & far in the company’s lineup to see some incredibly unique design choices, but every company has its limits. That’s why you’re & absolutely never going to see the BMW R1100R KHAN concept cruising down & your city streets, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less awesome.

The brainchild of Turkish designer Mehmet Erdem, & the R1100R KHAN looks like something you’d expect to see in a modern & day Tron reboot, but it’s actually designed with real world tolerances & in mind. Featuring a massive rear wheel, forward-leaning rider position, & and a big, beefy motor, and incredibly aggressive body, it’s a glorious & example of what vehicles might be like if safety and practicality were & thrown out the window.The original BMW R1100R was a fairly modest motorcycle, produced by the & company for five years beginning in 1994. It featured a twin engine that & put out close to 80 horsepower, and had a top speed over just over 120 & miles per hour.

The reimagining of the bike as the KHAN concept changes things in a & big way, trading the normal upright rider position for a forward-leaning & posture that puts the rider’s head over the completely covered front & wheel. The massive rear wheel spins just inches from the back of the & saddle, so we’d recommend avoiding a long shirt.

It doesn’t look like it would be the most comfortable thing in the & world to ride, at least for extended periods of time, but it would & probably a very exhilarating experience while it lasted. Just don’t slam & into anything or you’d likely be launched like an arrow right over the & Khan’s smooth body panels and windshield-free front section.
