That’s all set to change later this year with BMW Motorrad almost certain to release a Scrambler type bike based on the R NineT – and it will be priced competitively with the Ducati.

The History of BMW in F1http://www.bmwblog.com/2015/04/13/the-history-of-bmw-in-f1/
BMW was involved in Formula One (F1) for nearly two decades. Their stint started as an engine supplier to Bernie Ecclestone’s Brabham team in 1982 but it wasn’t before 2006 that the company became an official F1 constructor when it acquired the Sauber F1 Team. However, following the global economic crisis, BMW was forced to pull out of the sport in 2009. What follows is a history of the German man

Any knowledgeable motorcycle enthusiast will tell you WP is a Dutch suspension manufacturer. That was true once, but in the nearly four decades since the firm was established, it has become more. Much more, as I discovered during a tour of the Austrian factory. WP was founded in 1977 by Wim Peters, whose initials purportedly gave the company its name.

FWIW...Read and draw conclusions with caution.
Many BMW fans will quickly cherry pick this news release for bits and bites that support their stance in the ongoing GS/RT model debates, while those engaged in the R v K series battle participants are being challenged by Roundels on a third front. The coming evolution of the BMW lineup and focus is lost in the process. The article points out that 2015 S1000RR has only been available for a few weeks and already holds fourth place in the individual model standings. The four cylinder S series sales will grow as the S1000R continues to gain traction and with the addition of the S1000XR. Then there are those pesky scooters. They keep growing in numbers that long ago eclipsed their C1 predecessors and nudging some of their motorcycle model siblings to get out of their way in the fight for riders hearts and wallets. By the end of Q3 you may think you have it all sorted out then Q4 comes. Your predictions for 2015 may be fined tuned but on target but will they help you prognosticate 2016? Q4 brings the 101st Milan motorcycle show and a host of new models from the manufacturers. Will Milan bring the first of the new sub-500cc Roundel models? How will they reshape the model bell curve?

FWIW...Read and draw conclusions with caution.
Many BMW fans will quickly cherry pick this news release for bits and bites that support their stance in the ongoing GS/RT model debates, while those engaged in the R v K series battle participants are being challenged by Roundels on a third front. The coming evolution of the BMW lineup and focus is lost in the process. The article points out that 2015 S1000RR has only been available for a few weeks and already holds fourth place in the individual model standings. The four cylinder S series sales will grow as the S1000R continues to gain traction and with the addition of the S1000XR. Then there are those pesky scooters. They keep growing in numbers that long ago eclipsed their C1 predecessors and nudging some of their motorcycle model siblings to get out of their way in the fight for riders hearts and wallets. By the end of Q3 you may think you have it all sorted out then Q4 comes. Your predictions for 2015 may be fined tuned but on target but will they help you prognosticate 2016? Q4 brings the 101st Milan motorcycle show and a host of new models from the manufacturers. Will Milan bring the first of the new sub-500cc Roundel models? How will they reshape the model bell curve?

Automotive design is probably the most capital-intensive field an industrial designer can work in; developing a new car model can literally cost more than a billion dollars.It seems amazing, then, that a very crucial phase of the design process is entrusted not to brainiac scientists, but talented sculptors wielding centuries-old hand tools. If you dropped Michelangelo or Donatello in front of an

Historic trio gears up for a big ride. BMW Group Classic in the Mille Miglia 2014: BMW 328, BMW 507 and BMW Isetta at the start.https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/glob...lId=6&id=T0180182EN&left_menu_item=node__5256
Munich/Brescia. 60 years on from its Mille Miglia debut, a BMW Isetta is once again lining up at today’s start of the legendary endurance tour through northern Italy. The diminutive two-seater with green paintwork is competing in this year’s Mille Miglia as part of the BMW Group Classic squad, which also includes two BMW 507 models along with four BMW 328 historic racers. BMW Group Classic is thus deploying all the models that were at the start of the historic race events held from 1927 to 1957, which automatically qualifies them to take part in the revived version for historic cars launched in 1977. The Mille Miglia 2014 starts today in the north Italian city of Brescia and will cover more than 1,600 kilometres (1,000 miles) on a route that includes Padua, San Marino, Rome, Siena, Pisa and Bologna before returning to the start point.

DUCATI: “In Lightness My Strength” Ducati’s new motto is shared by the designers as well as the engineers.http://www.cycleworld.com/2015/04/28/ducati-motorcycles-new-motto-in-lightness-my-strength/
Mottos seem to gain extra strength when they are in Latin. Just think of the United States Marine Corps’ “Semper Fidelis,” which means “always faithful.” Or the United States Coast Guard’s “Semper Paratus” which means “always ready.” And then, of course, there’s “E pluribus unum,” which means “out of many, one.” The moment you hear them, you immediately stand at attention. In all its years, Ducati has never added a motto in Latin to its desmo badge. Now, however, it has: “Fortitudo mea in levitate.” Are you able to figure it out? It means “in lightness my strength.” This is fascinating. To an
