BMW constantly comes out with new models of motorcycles
July 18th, 2008BMW motorcycles is it’s price tag, which tends to be higher than the average motorcycle. BMW had to start somewhere with its design and this was as good a place as any. In the beginning, the Chief Design Engineer for BMW was Max Friz. But while BMW is normally associated with cars, it actually began its operations making airplane engines until the time that aircraft production was banned in Germany in 1919 under the Treaty of Versailles. Turning its attention to other modes of transportation in order to sustain the business, BMW was soon poised to begin production on the BMW motorcycle in 1923. What most people don’t know, however, is that BMW had it’s beginnings in 1923 not with cars, but with motorcycle production. To this day, BMW constantly comes out with new models of motorcycles employing cutting edge technology. Known for being demanding and not being satisfied with things as they are, Max introduced the new model BMW R32 at the Paris Motor Show in 1932. This model became famous for their blue and white paint. The following year, BMW won in a German racing championship, setting the BMW brand up for continued victories and a reputation for coming out on top. In fact, the R 37 – the next in the R series of BMW motorcycle – is introduced just two years after the R 32 and is defined by its racing design; a design that brings it much success in the racing world. Their racing teams see constant action in the international racing circuits, and win quite a number of these races with regularity. Aside from the high levels of speed and overall performance of it’s cars and motorcycles, however, BMW machines are also well known for one other thing. Sheer durability. BMWs are some of the toughest vehicles around, and their motorcycles also bear this same stamp of durability.
