BMW is reportedly set to tackle Daytona with an eye-catching race bike based on the R1300R. It's a competition-spec build of the company's roadster model.
An R1300R in race trim, this gets my blood pumping. The idea of bringing a roadster to Daytona is a bold one. How far you can dial in a production-based chassis shows up in every inch of the ride, from corner entry to exit. I want to see BMW's seriousness for myself on a race track.

Made me want to actually go look up what kind of race event Daytona even is.
A racer built off the R1300R base — want to see how far a roadster's bones can hold up on track.
European entries pushing into US Superbike-style events sounds like it'll be worth watching.
Unusual to see BMW go all-in at Daytona — traditionally they're so strongly tied to the boxer-engine image.
Curious how far a Paralever-type chassis can push cornering performance.
"Eye-catching style" is a pretty vague description — I'd like to see more actual photos of the bike.
Not clear from the article alone which class an R1300R roadster would even enter at Daytona.
There's a chance it's more of an exhibition-style entry, so I'm curious whether it's an actual competitive race or not.
