Should be a great bike for the budding RTW traveller

Intersting to see how much extra weight the battery pack makes and where is sited on the bike.
I wonder if that lump under the beak half way through is the battery pack?





EDIT The blurb states
"This intelligent combined solution also made it possible to reduce the conventional double-disc hydraulic braking system at the front to a single-disc brake system thereby saving approximately 2.9 kilograms of weight"

Yet in the video below it clearly has two in that innovation displayed

:whistle:

ha ha ha hah. good one.

Did I read that right? Did it say 45 hp from a 880gram motor? Is is the 1st of April?
But I do remember bmw testing a two wheel drive system before.
So in conclusion I don't know what's real anymore!

I'm guessing seeing as they don't mention overall weight anywhere that its gonna weigh a feck load more, and most of that in the worst place as unsprung weight.

Really cant see the point really.

Really, someone went to a lot of effort there.
