Perhaps the most common sports bikes configuration today is the in-line four. But the 1970s saw some interesting footnotes to history when a number of manufacturers made in-line six bikes. They include the Honda CBX1000 introduced in 1978. Kawasaki also introduced the KZ1300 in 1979.  <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2686/4311127537_8bb97b3d6e.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The Italians also had their own in-line sixes. Benelli made the 750 Sei in 1976, which was later enlarged to 900 cc.These massive bikes were often no more powerful than their in-line four counterparts. But in terms of sheer extravagance, these bikes had no challengers. Forward a couple of decades, and now BMW is experimenting with an in-line six concept.    <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2711/4310636419_fc2d069a59.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />They claim that their new concept - aptly named the Concept 6 offers "a truly emotional driving – or, in this case, riding – experience" which can only be experienced from an in-line six engine. BMW has been making in-line sixes since 1933 for their cars, and now should probably be really good at it. The engine is relatively compact.  <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2728/4310636355_4a4ae54e74.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> BMW claims that the engine is approximately 100 mm or 4" slimmer than all former straight-six production engines and only a bit wider than a large-capacity straight-four with conventional technology.According to the engineers, this is achieved by the slightly over-square bore: stroke ratio with a relatively long stroke and smaller small gaps between cylinders.  <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2781/4310636473_c996359e88.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The engine layout follows the straight-four in the K 1300 model series with cylinders tilted to the front by 55 degrees. The suspension features Duolever and lightweight Paralever arms holding and guiding the wheels front and rear. The new Concept 6, like many of BMWs new bikes has a fresh new minimalist design philosophy.At the same time, many of the design cues are bold and innovative, and have never been on any bike recently. <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2777/4311127527_5215027a2d.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> There is a six-chamber exhaust system which looks fantastic, and a stacked LED headlamp which simply looks cool. Here's hoping the Concept 6 will become a reality. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
