Pens and paper handy? It's called "BMW Bike naming 101" BMW names their bikes based off power plant and intended use. The K series engines going into their respective frames... K1300S, K1200R Sport... etc. Everyone still with me? You... in the back of the class, falling asleep... Have I lost you yet? The R Series engines going into their respective bikes... designed for the Boxer engines... R1200S, R1150RT... etc. Everyone still with me? NOW.... having said that. A naked version of an "RR" or "Race Ready" bike would no longer be an RR. It would be something more like one of BMW's famed naked R bikes. Examples would include the K1200R and R1200R. See the trend? So, with the S1000 engine in it, we would end up with a S1000R. Sure, it doesnt sound as cool... but, we all know that manufacturers such as BMW dont name them for "cool". The only exceptions to the "no cool name" that come readily to mind are the "Rockster" and the "Paris/Dakar" versions of the popular GS bikes. As far as the concept... I think it's great. Maybe the artist could have been somewhat more creative with the tidying up of the engine oil cooler and such devices hanging from the front. Possibly a subtle shrouding around it would make it far less obtrusive. But, all in all... I think a bike like this would find its way into my garage if it had adjustable rearsets, adjustable clipons, and a somewhat relaxed seating position from the RR. That way I could wedge my 6"6', 220 lb self onto it for some truly exhilirating canyon carving. Until then... I'll stick with my Benelli Cafe Racer as choice for sexiest naked to date.

Just like the naked versions of the F800S, k1300S, and R1200S are called the F800R, K1300R, and R1200R, respectively.Regarding the design above, I love the idea and hate the sketch. It's neither Bavarian, nor Italian, and as such has no strong design position. It's very generic. I doubt BMW would ever make a bike that looks like this, thankfully. I imagine it would conform to the F800R/K1300R/F800GS aesthetic, or it would explore the ideas presented in the Concept6. I wouldn't mind either, personally.

BMW has that space covered with the K1300S and K1300R (which isn't selling in the US), not to mentioned the failed K1200R Sport, which had a small fairing and resembles this mock up.Besides in BMW's naming scheme, historically RS denoted a racing bike, but with the intro of the R100RS the initials became synonymous with sport tourers.
