2020 YouTube Video of S1000RR Production in Berlin

Here's a link to a 49-minute video of the production of S1000RR bikes in the Berlin factory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yROGg3_vHBc

It contains footage not only of actual production of the bike, but also race testing, and even some interesting historical films of BMW bikes being ridden.

Nice, thank you!

That's cool, thanks!

This video was awesome John. Shared it with the guys at work, including my German pilot. (Who popped a clutch inadvertently, popping a wheelie, and got bruised up a bit today). I’m going to have to create a broken kickstand award for him.

Well, Reece, et al, when I was a kid in the early days of television back in the 1953-60 period, there was a show called "Industry on Parade." This program consisted of films of industrial production, aka things being made. Ever since that time, I've been fascinated with the production of things. Once I saw that BMW Motorrad was making films/videos of motorcycles being produced, I was hooked.

I think the most fascinating thing about this film is the fact that workers have to walk along with the bike as they also have to concentrate on installing their particular part in the final product. Amazing to me.

I'm sorry to hear about your student, but, as we say, "he's here to talk about it." He's with the master for sure.

I remember those movies John, (reruns and now YouTube) like you, I am fascinated with the dance that is mass production and assembly line operations. As an adult consumer of high end products, seeing the care and quality that goes into the product I’m buying is the ultimate advertisement.

You guys should enjoy this channel...
