<p>Toprak Razgatlıoğlu has done it again – and how! For the second time in succession, he has taken the Superbike World Championship title, and with his energy and unmistakable driving style, he has given us goosebumps countless times. The victory isn’t just a win for him personally; it also marks a historic milestone for BMW Motorrad – it has been a season full of passion, adrenaline, and unshakable strength of will.</p> <p> </p>

<p>From 5th to 7th of July 2024, Garmisch-Partenkirchen was again transformed into the Mecca of motorcycle culture, as the BMW Motorrad Days event returned to its traditional home after a two-year stint in Berlin. An emotional highlight for the global BMW Motorrad community, who appreciate this location for its breathtaking panoramic views of the Alps, and for the reminders of past BMW Motorrad Days.</p>

<p>Bold style meets high-level engineering. The R20 concept represents our vision of a Roadster. A unique masterpiece with an unmistakeable element at its core: the Big Boxer. The impressive silhouette delights both the eyes and the heart when glancing over the hand-finished seat to the short, striking rear. The sculptural tank is a real eye-catcher with its signal colour. Pink! The R20 concept will celebrate its highly anticipated début in style at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.</p>

<p>We anticipate it eagerly for ages and yet it is over in a flash. The sixth edition of the Pure&amp;Crafted Festival in Berlin was a resounding success. Numerous music and motorbike lovers filled the hall of the Nåpoleon Komplex with positive vibes and high spirits on this hot July weekend. With live music from artists such as Cari Cari and Drangsal, delicious soul food and plenty of customising inspiration, Heritage fans got bang for their buck.</p>

<p>We have never been more digital, more connected. Never have we been more mobile. We can and we want to be everywhere. Being on the move means having arrived. So far, so contemporary. But how will it be tomorrow? How will we seamlessly blend mobility with our urban lives? How do we match the requirements of the environment to our lifestyle? Get the most out of the present while at the same time creating a future worth living in? We look for answers as part of “The Future Shack” project. This is where we develop new design concepts for the cities of the future. Be inspired.</p>

<p>Fuel tanks and jerseys, helmets and tools, calligraphy and photography: the workshop – or rather the wonderful and orderly chaos – of Shinya Kimura, one of the most sought-after customisers in the world (and one of the most interesting ones!), is packed with mementos and astonishing items of all kinds. No more than two or three motorcycles leave his holy halls each year. During his modification projects, he always focuses on only one bike at a time to be fully invested in the project. The flow and harmony as well as the Wabi-Sabi of Japanese aesthetics play a crucial role in this. The patina and the genuine character of the – mostly – old motorcycles are just as important to him as the essence of the future rider. After all, it’s the rider who completes the project. So it’s all the more exciting that this time Shinya has a brand-new R 18 in his workshop and the rider concerned is no less than he himself.</p>

<p>Your life – every day. 24 hours. A job for life and nine to five? Not for you. Time out from a time out? Your life is not a straight line. You don't live in the fast lane. You are everywhere – all the time. Always by your side: the BMW Motorrad Concept CE 02. The city is full of opportunities and you are in control – because this is your life.</p>

<p>In Berlin-Spandau, where aircraft engines were built up to 1945 and subsequently tool machine facilities were installed, the BMW motorcycles are given their new home and Berlin air in their tyres. In keeping with the new motorcycle boom, BMW manufactures a completely newly developed series with the /5 models.  </p>

<p>Roland Sands is known for his daring designs with sports racing influences. He combines styles and knows no limits. When modifying the R 18, he draws inspiration from his father’s drag racing days: He reduces the mighty cruiser to the essentials and gears it up for maximum speed on straight roads. The result is a straight-line dragster with an iconic boxer engine – the R 18 Dragster.</p>

<p>Just six months ago, BMW Motorrad took the custom scene by storm with the world premiere of the Concept R 18 at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. Now, a second design study featuring the awe-inspiring 1800cc flat-twin engine has been successfully presented in Milan at the international EICMA motorcycle exhibition.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Arial , sans-serif;color: black;" lang="EN">You can find all the latest news about the Big Boxer here. From custom builds to the upcoming series bike.  Discover this exciting world with us.</span><span style="font-family: Arial , sans-serif;color: black;"></span></p>

<p>The new four-valve boxer with electronic engine management and the first BMW single-cylinder motorcycle since 1966 come on the market in the 1990s. In addition, in the spring of 1991, BMW Motorrad became the world's first motorcycle manufacturer to offer a regulated three-way catalytic converter for motorcycles.  </p>

<p>After the turmoil of the war, BMW manages a new start with motorcycle production. First they build the R 24 a single-cylinder motorcycle limited to 250 cc. </p>

<p>In the 1930s, the engineers not only considered performance development, but also introduced, for example, the hydraulically damped telescopic fork and the elaborately designed OHV boxer engine - with unique consequences and successes. </p>

<p>At the Berlin Motor Show in September 1923, the starting signal was given for the construction of BMW motorcycles: The R 32 is the first BMW motorcycle, developed by Max Friz. The world-renowned boxer engine will be the manufacturers main characteristic. </p>

<p>It’s the world premiere that the custom scene has been eagerly awaiting – a BMW Motorrad custom concept featuring a new prototype flat-twin engine – the highest capacity boxer motorcycle ever produced. Simply christened ‘Concept R 18’, this pure, stripped-down, raked-out bike gives more than a hint of what’s coming our way in the cruiser segment.</p>

<p>The new twin-cylinder boxer engine fascinates in its diversity from the very first moment. Its character is unmistakeable – in every engine speed range. It offers you increased performance and smooth running at low speeds. The BMW ShiftCam variable camshaft control ensures more powerful torque development over the entire engine speed range, providing greater control in every riding situation. Giving you power whenever you need it. More cubic capacity, more power – with higher efficiency. The strong performance with fewer gear changes gives you sovereignty. A masterpiece of engineering prowess. </p>

<p>For Dirk Thelen, things are only heading in one direction: forwards, onwards and upwards. Where other participants of the four-day long Enduro d’Agadir overcome rocky gravel, sandy pistes and wet-clay mud with their hard Enduros, the four-time German Enduro champion effortlessly sets the pace – atop the new F 850 GS. A long-distance touring enduro subjected to a brutal test and terrain, right through Morocco.  </p>

<p>For the past 15 years, thousands of bikers from around the world have been flocking to Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the foothills of the Wetterstein mountains.

Countless trails take hikers up to nearby peaks and beyond to ice-cold Alpine lakes. Once a year, this idyllic setting is a magnet for thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts.
