Of course it exists, a young James Tiberius Kirk rode one on his way to join  Starfleet in the first of the Star Trek films  in 2008.
and then he gave it away!!!!!

BMW would do better spending time and money working out why their new bikes are simply not made well enough, rather than this nonsense...

 And again!! The metalwork on a F650 that I had some years back was of appalling quality, I suffered a total light failure at high speed at 01:00hrs on a moonless night, F..... affraid , luckily I know the road well- A143- and hadn't seen a car for 5 miles, nor the next 10, creeping along in the dark to home at 02:00hrs. A razor sharp burr where a poor press tool stamped out the hole in the headlight/cowl mounting frame through which the loom passed- -two cut wires- - was the cheap suited Beemer rep interested in my grumble- - your guess, no prizes!

Umm... I think you are looking at some slick computer assisted animation.

As far as helmets and other safety gear, I'd really like to see that chick after a blue haired senior citizen makes a left turn 20 feet in front of her.

I've heard that the new BMW's are only designed for a useful life of 6-7 years and are being targeted toward high income professionals who will only keep them for the length of the warranty.   Fortunately, considering my age, I have a lifetime supply of bricks in the garage right now.

From what I'm hearing, that's somewhat optimistic! New BMW Self-balancing bike 652573

No need for a helmet eh? So, in the future, there will be no birds, bugs and rain?

...and if you lost your digital visor, you can't go for a ride?

Love the fact that she is bright enough to prefer analog vinyl music for better quality, yet dumb enough to put her life in the "hands" of a digitally operated poor excuse for a fake bike that can be hacked with any Android running Linux.
Thanks to greenies, lead less solder of PCBs guarantees any recent electronic device will self destruct in a matter of a few years, and too miniaturized to be repaired.
Enjoy Buy & throw away new age "durable goods".
In the end everything will be leased, nobody will be allowed to own things anymore, that's too uninclusive.

That's a pretty accurate assessment of the next few years IMHO New BMW Self-balancing bike 112350
