Looking to up the ante when it comes to motorcycle designs, the BMW Motorrad Concept Z helps to push perceptions for what a motorcycle is capable of.
Featuring a driver seat section that floats above the front and back wheels, the BMW Motorrad Concept Z has hub-less wheels that enable it to look inherently modern.
Designed by Anja Didrichsons, the BMW Motorrad Concept Z packs soft suspension capabilities and and ergonomic footrests for optimal comfort. This comes in handy for the BMW Motorrad Concept Z motorcycle design's Autonomous Mode. As the name denotes, the feature allows riders to engage in autonomous driving that will enable them to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride without having to worry about steering or accelerating.
