Recognized as a world-wide industry leader BMW – Bavarian Motor Works - has blazed a path of engineering innovation and customer satisfaction. Since 1919, BMW has incorporated the same design techniques reserved for aircraft to design motorcycles that are considered by many to be the gold standard for reliability, utility and handling. Like many manufacturers of early motor-powered bicycles, and forbidden to manufacture military aircraft engines after World War I, BMW began refining designs for automobile and motorbike engines. The focus on engine design continued until 1923 when BMW launched its own motorcycle division. Racing drove many of BMW’s early design efforts and helped to spur many non-racing engineering applications.
The success of this decision can still be seen some 80 years later. From world-class racing bikes to road touring and off-road models, BMW leads the pack in style, safety and innovation. As early as 1923, BMW became on of the first manufacturers to abandon the traditional chain and sprocket drive train in favor of a drive shaft on its road bikes. Constant improvements in engine designs, frames and suspension systems keep BMW on the cutting edge of engineering, endearing owners and bike enthusiasts around the world.
