It had been a while since we saw a motorcycle that looked so much like a work of art as the BMW Urban Racer. This powerful machine was created by the young London-based designer Jans Slapins, famous for his 3-D printing prototypes. Slapins had worked for Ford and Lamborghini before putting his talent at the service of BMW. The Urban Racer has an impressive 1.200cc twin-cylinder boxer engine capable of delivering 115 horsepower. With a carbon fiber body, LED lighting, and high-performance chassis, this model showcases noble materials such as mahogany-which covers and protects the fuel tank—and padded diamond-stitched leather seats for better comfort and durability. Slapins sought inspiration in modern fighter jets—specifically stealth aircraft—and some military land vehicles, infusing this particular motorcycle with an edgy aerodynamic flair. The flagship BMW logo adorning the side panel complements the classic yet innovative aesthetic of this marvel of engineering.
