What should wel think of this teaser then?

The electric BMW iR motorcycle concept designed for future MotoGP racing.
BMW iR concept created with a clean, simple approach, by Jordan Cornille.
When it approaches a turn, the swing arm/shaft shortens and the fork angle lessens and to create an optimal cornering experience.
The seat and the headlights are especially designed, featuring a unique shape.

So every time an industrial design student creates a concept for a big company we should expect a new release from the company and a new forum to be added?
Was Jordan Cornille hired by BMW to do this? If so then I would think it has more teeth ;)

I have been buying BMW motorcycles for 30 years and my impression is that they never use anyone's ideas that are not employees of the company, or someone hired by BMW to do a design to their own requirements. (My recollection is that the Telelever is a bit of an exception as they waited for the patent of the original British designer to expire before using that design in their motorcycles.)

My first reaction was that if it has so much empty space at the back, then it must be lacking in battery (or charger, or something else...)
