Slated for Berlin on Friday 1st July , 2022 , BMW ' s Pure & Crafted Festival is to make a one-day comeback in advance of the BMW Motorrad Days - making a Berlin debut on 2-3 July . Initiated by BMW Motorrad and first staged in Berlin in 2015 , the event returns to the Sommergarten at Messe Berlin - with " indie heroes " The Pixies headlining a strong line-up of bands . BMW is promising " breathtaking custom bikes in the Wheels Area ", the General Store , motorbike acrobats around the Motodrom , a cinema , food trucks and additional entertainment spaces and stages - much of which will remain open during the BMW Motorrad Days . The two-day BMW Motorrad Days ( 20th ) that follows Pure & Crafted is making its debut in Berlin - " We believe Berlin is the perfect place for the BMW Motorrad Days . As an international city offering a rich cultural experience , a wide range of

excursions in the surrounding area and a unique lifestyle , the capital of Germany has everything it takes to make the BMW Motorrad Days even more diverse and attractive ," says Dr . Markus Schramm , Head of BMW Motorrad . BMW motorcycle production has been based at the Spandau factory in Berlin since 1969 , and plant tours will be available . " In addition to new products , spectacular stunts , test ride opportunities and ride-aways , visitors from distant countries such as the USA , Japan or Australia , sports , touring and enduro riders , customising freaks and motorsports enthusiasts will all find their personal highlights - be it during the day in the extensive grounds between old and new motorbikes or in the evening with live music . " The Streetbike Stunt Show , the Trial Show and the FMX Show push the limits of riding physics . The great

tradition of steep wall riders , on the other hand , is revived in the original Motodrom , the oldest still travelling steep wall in the world . Here , Donald Ganslmeier and his team thunder over the wooden boards on historical

motorcycles in breathtaking style . Motorcycle customising fans are fully catered for in the Wheels Area . The large number of test rides on offer will feature the entire product range ." www . pureandcrafted . com

Honda seems to have started a trend with the X-ADV adventure scooter and the smaller ADV350 that followed it , with rival machines springing up from the likes of Kymco and Aprilia . Now Peugeot looks likely to be following the trend . Just as most ' off-road ' cars never use their high suspension for anything more ambitious than parking on a curb , adventure scooters aren ' t really meant for travelling to the far corners of the earth . Like SUVs , they ' re at home in the urban jungle , using

their rugged design and increased ground clearance to shrug off potholes rather than ford rivers . Last year , Peugeot test riders were spotted on test rigs for two new adventure-style scooters - one packing a 125 cc engine , the other using the 399 cc unit from the Metropolis 400i . The latter has now appeared in its final form in a set of patent images intended to protect the intellectual property of the bike ' s visual appearance . As befits this growing class of

machines , the bike has wire wheels and raised ground clearance , as well as styling that includes a nose-mounted ' beak ' intended to mirror the high-rise front mudguard of a motocross bike . In these CAD images , the exhaust appears to hang far too low , but that appears to be an error - the prototypes spied last year had the pipe tucked neatly around the engine , flush with the lower bodywork . What those prototypes lacked was the side fairings and seat bodywork that are visible here , so the patent images give a much more complete look at the bike . It ' s unusually proportioned with a surprisingly long wheelbase and a rear wheel that extends far beyond the rear seat . That matches the spied prototypes , though , so there appears to be a conscious decision on the part of Peugeot ' s designers . Since the engine appears identical to the Metropolis 400i ' s ' PowerMotion 400 ' single , it ' s safe to assume its performance will be much the same . That means 26.5 kW ( 35.6 hp ) at 7,250 rpm and 38 Nm ( 28 lb-ft ) at 5,750 rpm . However , since the

new adventure scooter has only two wheels and loses the Metropolis ' s complex , tilting trike front suspension system , it will inevitably be much lighter than that bike ' s 265 kg . Something closer to 200 kg is likely . The brake calipers have been missed out on the CAD images here , but the spy shots last year confirmed there are dual , fourpot radial calipers at the front . The CAD pictures also lack part of the right-hand side of the rear swingarm and , most notably , the rear shock . On the spied test rig , there was a large , single coilover shock at the back , mounted on the righthand side and running parallel to the seat with an unusual linkage to actuate it . Last year ' s tests and the new design images suggest the bike will be ready for sale in 2023 , with a show debut likely towards the end of 2022 . The smaller 125 cc version is expected to look much the same , using the long wheelbase of this bike and the same unusual rear suspension but with a single front brake disc and smaller , narrower wheels .
