BMW workers built a wild motorcycle that looks like it came from the future. Five engineers spent months creating the R 1300 R TITAN from scratch. Philipp Ludwig led the team that included designer Andreas Martin and color expert Theresa Stukenbrock. Paul Summerer and Thomas Becker handled the actual building work. The bike transforms the regular R 1300 R into something much more extreme.

The TITAN crouches low like a hunting cat ready to attack. Its 1300cc boxer engine sits at the center of everything. Sharp lines cut across the carbon fiber body panels. Metallic blue graphics make the bike appear fast even when parked. The fuel tank and front section follow race car design principles.

Akrapovic made special titanium exhaust pipes for this machine. The pipes merge under the bike before splitting into twin outlets. A Wilbers suspension system keeps the rear wheel planted on pavement. The extended swingarm helps transfer all that engine power to the road. Everything sits lower than normal street bikes.

A nitrous oxide bottle hides between the exhaust silencers for extra speed. Riders press a button to inject the gas into the engine system. The chemical boost sends massive power through the shaft drive to the rear wheel. Magura brakes bring the speed machine back under control after racing. Special footpegs help riders stay connected during high speed runs.
