| Description: |
BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke (Bavarian Motor Works) and has history that dates back to 1916. BMW was the purveyor of world-record altitude aircraft engines and is the basis for the white and blue “spinning propeller” that is the BMW Roundel.
BMW’s first motorcycle, the R32, introduced in 1923, immediately established BMW as a maker of high quality, innovative and practical motorcycles. With a twin-cylinder, horizontally opposed engine and shaft drive, the R32 set the standard for the BMW motorcycles that exist today.
What Makes A BMW Different?
Did you know that over 50% of all BMW's ever made are still running the roads, or lack thereof, around the world?
Much of what makes a BMW is not found in a marketing campaign, but under the surface, in the bike itself. Lots of power, or a race-inspired suspension may be powerful selling features for other brands, but there is no guarantee such features enhance an owner's ultimate appreciation.
In a BMW, every feature is backed by a heritage of engineering, design, quality testing and of course, fun on the Atobahnen.
Lets take a quick look.
