"Hiding in plain sight on a radical custom creation unveiled in Yokohama, Japan last week was an all-new air-cooled BMW engine – supplied direct from BMW Motorrad in Germany to form the platform for this Custom Works Zon crazy special build.
But this is no R nineT derivative, it’s an all new engine – and the ‘R18’ name carried on the bike’s tailpiece, as well as the huge physical size of the crankcases and heads, suggest this could be an 1800cc boxer twin built to directly attack Harley-Davidson and Indian’s dominance of the big-capacity air-head market on their home soil."
