#SoulFuel

Striking design

We have consistently evolved and modernised the iconic features of our early motorcycles. Unmistakable: the dominant boxer engine, the striking fuel tank shape and the iconic front end.

Vibrant history

Heritage models show how vibrant our long motorcycle history is. From the first ABS for motorcycles to the boxer punch and matching accessories – bursting with innovations that focus on one thing only: perfect handling, the best riding experience and sheer riding pleasure.

Vibrant community

We love bends, working on our bikes, the odour of the workshop, genuine craftsmanship, vintage and music. Whether its customising or a ride out, we like to do things together. Be it as a newbie or a long-standing member of the community, everyone is welcome.

Boasting 1,802 cc, it has the most powerful boxer engine ever built by BMW Motorrad at its core. It gives you a unique riding experience and brings pure emotion to the streets.
