BMW motorcycles
The founder of the modern BMW company is the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke, founded in 1916, a plant specializing in the production of aircraft. A year later, the plant was renamed Bayerische Motoren Werke (literally Bavarian Motor Plant) and the famous abbreviation BMW (BMW) appeared.
After World War I, Germany was banned from producing military aircraft, and to stay afloat, BMW switched to producing cars and motorcycles.
In record time, the legendary Boxer boxer motorcycle engine was developed, the basic ideas of which are still used today. In 1923, the BMW R32 motorcycle was produced. Engine 486 cc. cm produces 8.5 hp, which allows the motorcycle to accelerate to almost 100 km/h.
The uniqueness of the BMW R32 engine is that the cylinders in it are not located towards the front and rear wheels, like the vast majority of motorcycles of that time, but across the movement. The driveshaft connects the rear wheel and the gearbox, which is controlled by a friction clutch. Since the cylinders protrude from the overall dimensions of the motorcycle, this serves as additional cooling for the engine. In addition, the motorcycle uses a completely closed lubrication cycle.
The BMW R32 motorcycle became the basis for all subsequent models of the company. Even modern BMW motorcycles with a Boxter engine can recognize the features of this bike.
Developing the ideas of the R32, BMW set a speed record for a 500 cc motorcycle in 1937, reaching a speed of 279.5 km/h. This result was the best for 14 years.
During World War II, the BMW company produced motorcycles for the army, improving its pre-war developments. After the war, the plant’s equipment and drawings were exported to the USSR, and engineers were recruited to work in the field of jet engine construction.
After the ban on the production of motorcycles was lifted, BMW started almost from scratch - drawings and diagrams were recreated using the surviving equipment. The first motorcycles were produced in 1948, and already in 1950 production exceeded 17,000 units per year. The following year, the company releases its first sports motorcycle - the BMW R68 with a 594 cc engine. cm. In the mid-50s, there was a decline in demand for motorcycles, which led to the closure of a number of large German companies, but BMW continued its activities, actively exporting motorcycles to other countries.
In the 60s, the company sold off its aviation assets and concentrated its efforts on the production of motorcycles and cars. In the 1980s, BMW introduced the founder of a new family - the BMW K100 - a motorcycle with a 1000 cc inline 4-cylinder engine. see water-cooled. It was assumed that the new series would replace motorcycles with Boxer engines, but due to the continued demand for the latter, they continue to be produced to this day.
In 1988, BMW was the first to introduce ABS (anti-lock braking system) for motorcycles. Since then, it has become standard on all BMW K Series sports models.
Currently, BMW produces sport bikes, road and motocross bikes, as well as touring motorcycles, which are distinguished by advanced technical solutions and high quality.
