At the 2008 EICMA show in Milan, BMW had presented a Lo Rider concept in a retro style, before French company Panda Moto decided to develop an R 1200 R based on the prototype.
The bike is called ‘Le Rider’ and like the concept, adopts a short seat with a completely exposed rear wheel.
It has an usual oval shaped number and front double headlights.
The wheels are spoked and borrowed from the GS series.
It weighs 217 kg, 18 less than the series model.
The price of this tuning ranges from 15,000 to 24,000 euros, depending on the accessories and suspension chosen by the customer.
Below is a full gallery of ‘Le Rider’.
