BMW Adaptive Headlight in action

THIS IS BMW'S new Adaptive Headlight in action on the company's recently revealed K1600 tourer.

Without bamboozling you (and us) with reams of techno-ridden bumph, it's a kind of a self-levelling headlight that works both for horizontal and vertical pitch.  This means the headlight beam not only adjusts itself to compensate for the weight of a pillion or luggage etc. but also reacts to the bike's angle of lean.

Very clever stuff indeed.
