Highlights
- BMW reveals the R5 Hommage concept, a tribute to the old R5
- The entire motorcycles was handcrafted by Noren brothers
- The concept is powered by turbocharged 500cc boxer twin engine
The BMW R5 was one of the best-looking motorcycles to have even come out of its factory. Although the R5 went out of commission almost 60 years ago, BMW Motorrad decided to give it a fitting tribute, in the form of the gorgeous R5 Hommage concept.
With a design that harks back to the old R5 of the 1930s, BMW showcased the concept at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Estate in Northern Italy, an event where BMW has been showcasing concept motorcycles for the past three years.
The R5 Hommage is powered by an original 500cc boxer twin engine which is air-cooled, but BMW has supercharged the engine. Swedish custom builders Ronny and Benny Noren painstakingly rebuilt the engine as it had sustained serious damage in one of the exhibition races. The plans to rebuild the engine were laid down by a design team from BMW Motorrad.

There is a good chance that the R5 Hommage might not make it to production. Although, three years ago, BMW Motorrad had showcased a concept called the 90 R nine T at the very same event. In due time, it was made into a production motorcycle. So we will cross our fingers and wish that the R5 Hommage comes into production, even if in limited numbers.
