Munich/Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Two extraordinary custom bikes from the Bavarian Forest made their debut at the BMW Motorrad Days 2025: the R 12 and R 18 builds by [WOIDWERK].

A strong duo with character – “The Speed Sisters” project. The goal of the project was to portray the BMW Motorrad cruiser models R 12 and R 18 as a custom-built sibling pair – stylistically connected, but deliberately not identical: “Sisters, not twins,” as Roland Stocker, Project Manager Heritage BMW Motorrad, puts it. Execution was led by Ralf...

#bmwmotorrad #bmw #bmwmoto #bmwna #bmwr1200c #r1200c In the mid-1990s, Harley-Davidson’s laid-back V-twins were among the most popular motorcycles in America, inspiring countless imitators from Japanese and Italian manufacturers. Even sport-oriented Ducati got into the cruiser act, after which it was only a matter of time before BMW did the same. “The cruiser segment was doing so well, and it kept growing, especially in the U.S.,” said Phil Capossela, Vice-President of BMW of North America’s motorcycle division since August 1991. “We asked if BMW could do something that would be competitive, and BMW Motorrad was open to it.” Rather than build a Harley clone, BMW created a cruiser with a distinctly Bavarian twist. Where other...

#bmw #bmwmotorrad #motorrad #bmwmoto #bmwna50 BMW has been building motorcycles for police and the military since the early 1930s, and its bikes are widely used by police departments from Europe to the Far East. In the US, however, BMWs have always been somewhat rare compared to the Harley-Davidsons favored by patrol officers on the East Coast or the Kawasakis preferred out West. BMW first challenged both of those well-established marques in 1984, when it sold about 150 of its R 100 RT motorcycles to the San Francisco Police Department. Although that program was considered successful, BMW withdrew from the authority market after Kawasaki lost a $10 million liability suit related to the death of a Houston officer while on duty. A few...
