German press shows this: Mega six-cylinder naked with six exhausts and K1600 engine… yeah…

OK, so this is a rumour – and from what we can gather from our German cousins on the excellent Motorrad magazine, there’s little to move this story on from that rather precarious position – but still, check this story out!

What we have here is the illustration by Stefan Kraft that shows a massive naked bike from BMW.

Motorrad is calling this lovely-looking work of behemoth-styled art the BMW Sixx Naked. And whilst there is a lot of wishful thinking going on with this, it’s well worth a look.

Indeed, from the looks of things this is the 158bhp motor from a K1600Gt tourer wrapped up in something not too far removed from a S1000R’s chassis. We’re loving the simple idea behind this, the market would probably go for something like this and – seriously – those three-each-side exhausts are just magnificent.

That’s it, there’s nothing more to tell you. It’s a drawing based on a rumour for something properly in the future. But for now, for a bit of fun, just look at this thing. Mega.
