Safety concept for motorcycles

Next to the first ABS for motorcycles

there is one more crucial safety point that nobody considers!

Let me remind you that we are talking about a dvelepment in the mid of Eighties!

BMW engineers developed a concept of design that protects the body of the motorcyclist

from a direct collision the other party, e.g. a car, in the event of an accident.

As you can see, the fairing and the seating position are designed in such a way

that in the event of a collision with e.g. a car,

through the given geometry a jump takes the rider over the collision object.

This is the only way the rider has a chance of surving the crash.

The collision between the body and the car would mean certain death for the motorcylist.

Since today no motorcycle magazine writes about or compares the accident safety concepts...

How do I get that?

My first motorcycle, the R100RS, already had an initial safety concept.

It saved my life when I flew over the collision point with the car in a head-on crash on at 80km/h...
