Flamingo Art Cars and Bikes Take Off
I've always thought it would be great to cover a car in pink flamingos so this is the next best thing for me, blog entry filled with flamingo cars and bikes. Its also funny to me how different each art car is from each other, ranging from mounted flamingos to painted flamingos. I like this first one, with a few flamingos mounted high up on poles on a jet black car, very striking(sorry no more drive through for you). I also included an art car with a wanted sign asking people for flamingos to take his current art car to the next level. And lets not forget the flamingo art bikes. Today is good day for something pink

EICMA cafe racer in 2009 BMW Concept 6
BMW introduced the concept of inline six-cylinder EICMA cafe racer in 2009 shows in Milan, Italy.
Inline-six engine has a point in the BMW cars for decades and the German motorcycle manufacturer division to take the challenge to match a straight six and a bike without making too long or too wide. The result is the BMW Motorrad Concepts 6, and an evolution of BMW says "will expand the K-Series in the near future".
6 The concept of the machine is about four inches slimmer than the production of the BMW inline-six engine, so only a little wider than a large capacity four. To keep down the wide, the machine has a relatively long stroke with a very small gap between the cylinders. Ancillaries and components of electric vehicles are behind them on the crankshaft and transmission to minimize the width of the machine further.
The BMW Concept 6
BMW engineers also tried to keep the weight low by using hollow-drilled camshafts and light connecting rods. The engine’s weight is also distributed so that a balance shaft and its drive elements are not necessary.
Like the straight-four in the K1300 series, the Concept 6’s engine is tilted forward 55 degrees for added balance and a low center of gravity. The tilted engine also provides space for an aerodynamically positioned intake manifold above the engine.
The inline six engine may be powerplant for future K-Series motorcycles.
A design sketch points out features such as the intake manifold. Click on the picture to see a larger version.
The Concept 6’s engine uses dry sump lubrication, keeping the crankcase low and flat. Without an oil sump, the engine can be placed lower in the frame than otherwise.
According to BMW, the six-cylinder engine produces power in the same range as its 1.3-liter straight four engines. The difference will be in the torque, which will be comparable to the largest motorcycle engines. BMW says will be the six-cylinder will offer 96 ft-lb. at 2,000 rpm with revs reaching nearly 9,000 rpm.
BMW describes the Concept 6 as a mix of classic and modern styling and an evolution of the café racer.
The “split face” design element found in other BMW bikes such as the S1000RR divides the Concept 6 into three sections, extending from the front of the fairing to the carbon-fiber fuel tank. LED headlights further accentuate the split face element.
Suspension is built around a light-alloy bridge frame with Duolever and Paralever arms for both front and rear. The 17-inch HP forged wheels are equipped with an extra-large brake system using six-piston fixec calipers.
BMW says a rev counter is unnecessary for the Concept 6.
The instrument panel uses a minimalist design without a rev counter. BMW says the rev counter was intentionally omitted because the engine produces a “supreme flow of power at all speeds”. Instead of a displaying the revs, the LED display shows how much torque is available.
