After the firm to the propeller this light allows to see more than 600 meters! When we know that the scope is only 150 meters with bulbs halogen and 220 meters with Xenon headlights, night walks will take a new dimension with this new device… If ever he came to be offered in series, or rather optional.
The second project involves a helmet equipped with a high head vision system. If this system is already present in modern automobiles for motorcycle, we are in the infancy. This new system called BMW Motorrad System 6 EVO Vision HUD, therefore allows the display of many parameters speed, report commitment data GPS via a translucent screen arranged in the helmet before the right eye.
However! Hope so, it will prove a strong step from BMW!
