Complete List of BMW Motorcycles

Bayerische Motoren Werke AG or famously known as BMW is a German luxury auto and motorcycle designer and manufacturer. Their first ever production started after the First World War where its brand was known as the BMW Motorrad. Two failed attempts happened (Helios and Flink) before they could release their first successful motorcycle, the R32.

It was released in 1932 and had a twin engine encapsulated in a cylinder that pumps air from both sides of the machine. Their motorcycles had a unique design only until 1980 where they followed the conventional style.

At the Second World War, BMW designed the BMW R75 motorcycle. This model is quite unique with its sidecar where the sidecar wheel is powered by an engine. 1982 came in and BMW introduced the K series with a three to four-cylinder engine.
