BMW Motorrad is the brand used by the German company known as BMW for its motorcycles, manufacturing the bikes and motorcycle gear since 1923.

The R32, the first motorcycle introduced by BMW Motorrad, featured the flat twin boxer engine, which is most associated with the company’s motorcycles during its history.
Berlin, Germany is where the plant responsible for BMW Motorrad is located for manufacturing motorcycles. China, Austria, and Taiwan are other locations where BMW Motorrad engines are manufactured outside of Berlin, Germany. The most popular model in the year 2008 for BMW was the R1200GS, which was just one of the over 100,000 motorcycles sold by BMW in 2008.
