In 1923, Bayerische Motoren Werke produced the first motorcycle under the BMW banner – the R 32. Powered by a flat-twin engine and a final shaft drive, the model not only won hill climb races and captured speed records, but also laid the groundwork for BMW's signature construction.
Despite those firm foundations, Bavarian Motor Works has never shied away from innovation throughout its 100 years in motorcycling. To fully illustrate the brand’s impact on the industry, renowned journalist Alan Dowds and publisher Sophia Editions teamed up to present Motos BMW 100 Ans.
