BMW Scooter New for 2010
German auto manufacturer is rumored to be working on a new 800cc super scooter for release in 2010. The big new Beemer scooter will feature fuel-injected Rotax v-twin engines in three sizes: 500cc, 650cc, and the big 800cc model. Horsepower will range from 33 to 70. The new big bikes will employ counter-rotating crankshafts to minimize vibrations, and will also feature CVT transmission. Recent trends in scooter have been leaning towards larger models with more and more power, along with sporty, futuristic designs.Several manufacturers have had huge recent success the double front wheeled trikes that have engine capacity upwards of 500ccs. As scooters increase in popularity in the U.S. market (due in large part to problems in the auto industry and volatility in fuel prices) look for more foreign luxury makers to come up with prototypes and new models that cash in on the American taste for luxury and speed. BMW has never been one to skimp on either of those qualities.
