Default New BMW off road 450



Not bad looking.
Engine exposed a little too much.

EFI, linkless Ohlins, primary clutch, tank under the seat, check out the swing arm pivot location. BMW certainly went their own way with this one.

Yes very BMW and yes those engine cases must be made of some super strong space age material.

Or the way of a small bicycle company from PA.

Some very innovative stuff, with the $$ to back up development. I bet it makes an FSR 450 seem cheap($$) by comparison.

If it comes to Hancock, NY I'll get some photos.

Here's some engineering drawings from the patent application.
The swing arm pivot bolt runs through the countershaft sprocket.Imagine that.

Their clutch may have something novel allowing for a patent, but primary clutches aren't new. My friend had a 1972(?) Puch 175 with a primary clutch - it was about the size of a tuna can.

Yes, also the Montessa 250 VR of the late '70s used a crank mounted clutch. Pretty slick, we'lll see though. I thought about the oil thing too, maybe they have another pump for it. Cannondale had a transmission/clutch oil pump as well.
