Motorrad - On the Street and Track
FWIW
The manufacturer press conferences have begun at INTERMOT . This is the kickoff to the European Power Sports show season. If your news feeds have not blown up with information on the latest and greatest they will shortly.
INTERMOT is BMW Motorrad’s “Home Show” and has been the site for many of the major releases for the Roundel product line. Multiple introductions have been promised for this year. Does the announced upgrade to the boxer engine in the GS and RT count among them or are their others to come? A new S 1000 RR is expected. Are upgrades to the rest of the 1000 product line in store?
In November BMW Motorrad will be in Milan for the EIMCA Show. The BMW Rider Accessory line normally plays a big role for this event; however, not just gear. The S 1000 XR made its debut at Milan after the INTERMOT show had been used for product updates to other lines. Is a sub 500cc sibling in the works for current G line?
As time permits I will update you with BMW Pressclub and other manufacturer information. Until then, enjoy today’s post as a way to tide you over.

Still Wondering
FWIW
Tuesday is press conference day at Intermot. In the past manufacturers had an hour slot to present their product lines for the coming year. Accredited journalist would move from one conference to next. Brand fans and reporters specializing in a marque or two will stay and dig deeper with the representatives. Years with large model reveals the press conference might move to an earlier time and become a special event.
BMW Motorrad appears to have taken a slot in the press conference schedule and used its time to focus on the R 12500 GS Rally and the R 1250 RT. The new engine is a major change and deserves the attention. Reporters will have had a chance to dig deeper into the wonky details of the new power plant, how it will roll out over the remaining wethead lineup and questions about the other Boxer line.
I always hope for more. I must admit in the back of my mind once again I hear Peggy Lee singing ”Is that all there is.” My sense is that is all there is for Intermot.
The Cologne show is BMW’s home show. The boxer is the backbone of the lineup especially in Deutschland. What is next may involve more boxer news, gear information and...
Milan EICMA runs November 6 - 11. BMW does the gear reveal here. Milan is also the place concepts and non-boxer products often break into the news and motorcyclists minds. The gear reveal is on the schedule. Motorrad honchos keep talking about multiple models coming out. I hope that will include more than boxer variations. The rumor mill has a new S 1000 RR coming out. Watch for leaks in the press.
Progressive International Motorcycle Shows open in L.A. when Milan ends. This was the show picked for the K 1600 B reveal and announcements of as many as an additional five U.S. market specific models in the future. I expect a U.S. boxer variant, at least in concept form, to show here. (This prediction and $5.00 will get you a coffee and fritter at the official BR&TMR coffee shop.)
I put together information from BMW and other marques from today’s press. Once again I am left flat and waiting for Milan.

A total of 37,172 motorcycles rolled off production lines between July and September of the current year (2017: 41,443 units; –10.3 %). A total of 125,180 units were manufactured during the nine-month period (2017: 146,995 units; –14.8 %). The significant reduction in production volume was primarily attributable to the model change in the mid-class segment.
Revenues and earnings down on the previous year1
Motorcycles segment revenues and earnings were negatively impacted by the ramp-up situation attributable to multiple model changes. Third-quarter revenues fell to €476 million (2017: €5121 million; – 7,0 %), generating a segment EBIT of €33 million (2017: €531 million; – 37.7 %) and an EBIT margin of 6.9 % (2017: 10.41%; – 3.5 percentage points). Profit before tax fell accordingly to €31 million (2017: €531 mil- lion; – 41.5 %).
Nine-month revenues totaled €1,658 million (2017: €1,8271 million; – 9.3 %). The segment recorded an EBIT margin of 12.5 % (2017: 15.41%; – 2.9 percentage points) on an EBIT figure of €208 million (2017: €2821 million; – 26.2 %). Profit before tax stood at €205 mil- lion (2017: €2811 million; – 27.0 %).
Slight increase in workforce
The BMW Group had a workforce of 3,622 employees in the Motorcycles segment at the end of the reporting period (31 December 2017: 3,506 employees; + 3.3 %)
motorcycles segment
Motorcycles segment revenues fell moderately com- pared to the first nine months of the previous year, mainly due to the ramp-up situation attributable to multiple model changes. The decrease was also exacerbated by product mix and currency effects.
Nine-month profit before tax was therefore significantly lower than one year earlier.
REPORT ON OUTLOOK, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Economic trend with increasing uncertainties
Automobile and motorcycle deliveries – new record figures targeted
BMW Group changes outlook for full financial year
OUTLOOK
The report on outlook, risks and opportunities describes the expected development of the BMW Group, including material risks and opportunities, from a Group management perspective. It contains for- ward-looking statements and is based on expectations and assessments that are subject to uncertainty. As a result, actual outcomes, including those attributable to political and economic developments, could differ – either positively or negatively – from those described below. Further information on this topic is provided in the Annual Report 2017 (Outlook, pp. 90, Risks and Opportunities, pp. 96).
Global economy impacted by increasing trade disputes
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has cut its economic growth forecast for the current year to 3.7 %. One of the main reasons for the downward adjustment is the current trade dispute between the world’s two largest economies, the USA and China. The situation is also exacerbated by a host of other uncertainties, including Brexit.
The forecast for the eurozone has also been revised downwards compared to July. Gross domestic product (GDP) in the eurozone is currently expected to grow by 2.1 % over the year as a whole and therefore at a slower pace than in 2017. Although all economies within the EU are growing, there are significant differences in the pace of growth. In general, however, the economic environment is likely to remain conducive to further growth. Unemployment continues to fall; the weak euro is driving export growth and the ECB is only gradually running down its expansive monetary policy.
The German economy continues to grow, underpinned by historically low levels of unemployment. Despite a slight dip in market sentiment in recent months, the German economy is still expected to grow by 2.0 %, similar to one year earlier.
The French economy is only predicted to grow by 1.7 % this year, with both the lack of progress in reducing unemployment and the large trade deficit being cited as the main reasons for weaker economic growth.
The forecast for Italy will also have to be reduced, and at a rate of 1.2 %, is likely to remain at the lower end of the scale for Europe. Despite gradually falling unemployment figures and recent growth in domestic demand creating positive impulses, the country’s debt policy and the rise in interest rates for Italian government bonds are a source of great concern for capital markets.
In Spain, the consequences of the political uncertain- ty regarding Catalonia continue to have a negative impact on economic development for the country as a whole. Despite the prevailing political uncertainty, a growth rate of 2.7 % is nevertheless forecast for the current year, mainly driven by significantly lower levels of unemployment and robust domestic demand.
While eurozone markets for the most part continue to grow, the UK economy is being negatively impacted by Brexit and the uncertainties surrounding it. Even though the unemployment rate has continuously declined since the referendum and the country is enjoying record employment levels, growth forecasts have been revised downwards with frequent regularity. GDP is only expected to grow by 1.3 % in 2018.
Any continued intensification of the US trade dispute with key trading partners is highly likely to have a dampening effect on global economic growth for the remainder of 2018. The increase in customs duties for US imports from China and those from the USA to China, as well as other measures taken by the USA and countered by other countries, are having an effect on global economic growth. The tough nature of the negotiations between the USA, Canada and Mexico with the aim of replacing the existing NAFTA agreement were also a cause of apprehension on world markets. In the meantime, by agreeing to the “United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement” (USMCA), the countries concerned have decided on a new set of rules to replace the previous arrangements.
In the USA, the economic situation remains very positive despite the distortions caused by trade policies. Moreover, the Federal Reserve continues to act very cautiously with its interest rate hikes. Strong US labor market figures and the short-term stimulus generated by the corporate tax reform are providing a powerful boost to growth, resulting in market forecasts for the current year being raised to 2.8 %.
The Chinese economy remains on the course set by the country’s government, despite considerable risks and the escalation of the trade dispute. Economic growth in China is generally expected to run at 6.6 % in 2018, its greatest problem being the high level of debt, mostly of a corporate nature, even though the situation has not worsened. Moreover, a major drop in the continually rising property prices could trigger turbulence on financial markets as well as an eco- nomic downturn, not only in China, but worldwide.
Japan has been unable to maintain the pace of growth seen in the previous year and its economy is expected to grow by only 1.0 % in 2018. Uncertainties over trade relations with the USA are having a particularly
unfavorable impact on Japan, as an export-dependent economy. Any slow-down in international trade is therefore likely to curb the pace of growth.
India is now back on a growth course, having over- come the partially chaotic conditions caused by a banknote changeover and in the wake of an extensive reform to its tax system. The country’s economy is expected to grow by 7.4 % in 2018.
Despite the ongoing rise in oil prices, the Russian economy is forecast to grow by only 1.8 % this year. Recovery is also proving to be sluggish in Brazil (+1.6 %). Although some signs point to an upturn in domestic demand, uncertainty regarding future economic policies is unlikely to dissipate, even after the outcome of the presidential elections is known.
International motorcycle markets
The BMW Group’s forecasts are based on the assumption that worldwide motorcycle markets in the 250 cc plus class will continue to develop as well over the remainder of the year as in the first nine months. The positive trend in registrations in the major European markets of Germany, France, Italy and Spain is likely to continue, whereas market conditions in the UK should remain largely stable compared to the previous year. Continuing the trend seen in recent years, the US motorcycle market is likely to see a further decline in registration numbers in 2018.
International interest rate environment and pre-owned vehicle prices
Within the eurozone, the ECB has resolved to reduce the monthly volume of bond purchasing from €30 bil- lion to €15 billion with effect from October 2018. The ECB also announced its intention to discontinue bond purchases altogether as of January 2019.
In the UK, it remains the stated intention of the BoE to raise the key interest rate further in a limited and gradual manner. The central bank’s monetary policy over the coming months is very much likely to be geared to managing the economic impact of the Brexit negotiations.
In the USA, the Federal Reserve seems likely to raise the key interest rate further as long as the economy continues to perform well.
In China, fiscal policies will continue to focus on safeguarding the country’s financial stability. A rise in inflation rates or a general deterioration in the eco- nomic situation, for instance as a result of a worsening trade war, is likely to persuade the Chinese central bank to change its previously cautious and neutral monetary policy. In this case, the Chinese government could well intervene with measures aimed at stimulating the economy.
With the inflation rate remaining stubbornly low, Japan’s central bank is likely to maintain its expansive monetary policy.
The BMW Group expects prices of pre-owned premium-segment vehicles to maintain their current trend through to the end of the year. Due to the ongoing debate on potential driving bans for diesel-powered vehicles in certain countries, pre-owned vehicle prices will probably continue to fall slightly in Europe. The situation in the UK is expected to remain stable, at a similarly low level to previous quarters. Pre-owned vehicle markets in North America and Asia are expect- ed to remain largely stable.
Motorcycles segment
Deliveries to customers: slight increase expected The BMW Group expects business in the Motorcycles segment to develop positively in the final quarter of 2018. The renewal of the product range in the previous year, together with a variety of new models such as the recently launched R 1250 GS and R 1250 RT with their comprehensively further advanced boxer engine, should all have a positive impact.
Due to the ramp-up situation connected with various model changes in the Motorcycles segment, overall production was down for the nine-month period. With effect from the first quarter of 2018, deliveries in the Motorcycles segment have been forecast to increase slightly (2017: 164,153 units). In the Annual Report 2017, a solid increase was predicted.
eBit margin in target range between 8 and 10 % expected
The segment EBIT margin for 2018 is expected to lie within the target range of between 8 and 10 % (2017: 9.1 %).
Return on capital employed1:
in line with last year’s level expected
The Motorcycles segment RoCE in 2018 is expected to come in at a similar level to the previous year (2017: %). In the Annual Report 2017, it had been predicted that RoCE would increase slightly. The outlook for segment RoCE was revised in the first quarter of 2018 due to the ramp-up situation described above. The long-term target RoCE of 26 % for the Motorcycles segment is still expected to be surpassed.
RISK AND OPPORTUNITIES
As a globally operating company, the BMW Group is exposed to a wide range of risks and opportunities. Making full use of the opportunities that present themselves is the basis for the Group’s success. In order to achieve growth, profitability, efficiency and continued sustainable activity going forward, the BMW Group must consciously assume a certain amount of risk. During the period under report, risks increased slightly compared with the overall risk situation presented in the Group Management Report 2017. Current issues such as the progress of the Brexit negotiations, developments in trade policies as well as the impact of stricter legal regulations as well as goodwill and warranty measures will continue to be closely monitored and, where appropriate, factored into the Group’s forecasts. Further information on risks and opportunities, as well as on the methods employed to manage them can also be found in the “Report on Risks and Opportunities” section of the Annual Report 2017 (pp. 96).
