BMW K1600GT adaptive headlights
Loading...
Uploaded by motorcyclenewsdotcom on Jul 2, 2010
An optional extra Adaptive Headlight will be introduced for the first time ever on a motorcycle -- an electronic system will adjust the headlight's beam to compensate for front and rear pitch as well as lean angle, keeping the beam flat and optimised for best visibility at night.

not convinced never had a problem with my Fazer thou lights

@Dylangj08 when you sit on the bike the front goes up, so u have to correct the angle of the light to avoid blinding the people in the cars coming towards you. u get the same effect when driving uphill
-
I understand the mirror rolling to allow the beam to roll with the bike, but what is the purpose of the light angling to shoo the beam further or pulling it in closer? is that just for high beam vs low beam situations?

amazing!

This tech can save lives if you live near mountains where there are no street light and sharp corners... the only way others can tell you are there is if they see your lights around the corner and if you are turning they wont see them with regular lights

@PauloRider1 obviously you can't jack off while holding a torch riding.

Finally one big motocycle manufaturer is taking the headlight problem serious! Swedish "Bike" magazine is to my knowledge the only magazine testing also mc headligths. What you see there is sometimes frightening! Why do we need to live with headlights that reach less then half as far as most standard car lights, not to speak of xenon, which is state of the art now in almost all medium sized cars? Thanks BMW, hope this gives inspiration to other manufaturers! It's complicated, but possible!

@PauloRider1 well if you hold a torch, everyone else will be jealous that they spent so much money on lights that aren't comparable to effectiveness of the torch you're using so i guess we just have to stick with these lights then? =/
