If you saw BMW's R20 concept when it rolled out in Lake Como and held your breath in the hopes that it would one day become a production reality, it's time to breathe again. According to Speedweek, the R20 was recently spied testing out on some public roads, and it looks very close to being production-ready.
For those who don't know, the CEO of BMW Motorrad, Markus Flasch, rode the 'Concept R20' out onto a stage at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in 2024. Most assumed this would be the same tale that befalls most concept machines, which is to say they would stay just that—concepts. Thankfully, BMW has determined that the R20 will have a different fate.
