BMW M Bike – Click above for high-res image<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nThere aren’t a lot of automakers also making motorcycles. Honda<\/a>, Suzuki<\/a>, Peugeot<\/a>, BMW<\/a>… along with Triumph once upon a time and Yamaha dabbling in the automotive consultancy business. That just about covers it. But there are plenty churning out branded bicycles, and Bimmer’s M division is the latest.<\/p>\n

The 28-pound cycle is based on a sleek aluminum frame, available in three sizes and coated in matte anthracite paint. It’s topped by a leather fi’zi:k saddle with a red inlay and fitted with a Manitou Match front suspension fork, Shimano SLX gear system – what, no dual-clutch transmission? – and disc brakes front and rear.<\/p>\n

The BMW M Bike will only be made in limited quantities starting in June from select dealership and www.bmw-shop.com<\/a>. Just don’t expect dealers to begin giving them away free with the purchase of a new X3<\/a> like Volkswagen<\/a> did with Trek. Details in the press release after the jump.<\/p>\n
