As highlighted below - the definition of culture seems to cover BMW motorcycles quite well. They are based on a design of simple perfection especially the elimination of primary imbalance in an engine full of reciprocating masses. There is always an accelerating mass moving in the opposite direction at the same speed as every other accelerating mass.
There was an exhibition called "the art of the motorcycle" which occupied the whole of the Guggenheim museum in NYC and then it travelled the country. The bikes were exhibited purely for their aesthetic appeal - with shapes reminiscent of periods of time, human forms and colors, metal finishes etc evoking wealth and sophistication.
