At least partially derived from an attempt by H-D and custom bike designer Jim Feuling, it looks like BMW may be thinking of re-entering the cruiser market... or it could be an elaborate April Fool's day...

I guess we all have Triumph and their Rocket 3 to blame...

Have you seen BMW's supposed prototype? Â

Oops, sorry Mike, I didn't see that you had already posted it!
I was all engrossed in the mongrel Harley V-3!

I just wish Yamaha had built its V-Twin from the 2007 Tokyo motorcycle show: the XS-V1 Sakura.

I don't know how well it would sell but god is it gorgeous.

Hate to admit it, but I rather like the look of the W3 and it would be even nicer if it was in a package that would make riding it entertaining....
