Look what I found

Found this on Motocycle News Facebook page.
BREAKING NEWS: A BMW test rider has just ridden a fully-working S1000RR electric superbike onto the stage during the launch for their new G310R roadster.

BMW say there's no immediate intent to build a road-going bike for release, but that this is a development bike to test the boundaries of what's possible, using their existing in-house technology. It's clearly something they're considering though, and have committed to talk more about the bike in the near future. More details to follow as we get them.

Nothing posted on their website yet...

Seems like a pretty lazy effort, tbh.
