Sometimes, a company’s marketing efforts may be skewed. This oversight can generate publicity for one segment while another flies under the radar. However, more often than not, everything all boils down to the interests of the consumer. Thankfully, this doesn’t seem to be the case with BMW Motorrad. The TITAN makes its debut and has everything a moto maniac could ever want.
What we pointed out above refers to automotive marques that also own motorcycle subsidiaries. The likes of Honda and Suzuki are some examples where the lack of distinction can lead to confusion among interested buyers. As for the bespoke bike in question, this is what you get when creativity is in full swing.
According to BMW Motorrad, the TITAN is a comprehensive customization of an R 1300 R by a select team. It’s an endeavor only possible when there are no limits imposed. As the press release puts it, this one-off is “brute and aggressive, beautiful and extraordinary, fast and precise – built to win.”
With its muscular yet low-slung stance and menacing performance courtesy of the 1,300 cc boxer engine, you have a recipe for exhilarating experiences. Even when not in motion, the dynamic silhouette suggests otherwise. Those with a keen eye will quickly spot the twin Akrapovič titanium exhaust system.
In the words of BMW Motorrad’s Head of Communications, Tim Diehl-Thiele, the pipes enhance “the powerful character of this custom bike, both visually and acoustically.” It’s easy to miss, but between these sits a nitrous oxide tank for that extra boost. Other notable features of the TITAN include a Wilber chassis, forged carbon fiber elements, and Magura HC3 brake levers.
