BMW began selling motorcycles in 1923, long before any BMW automobiles were even thought of.I have started a BMW motorcycle picture gallery to contain all BMW models from 1923 to 2003 as submitted by Motorcycle Views visitors. A gallery called "81 Years of BMW" is provided that gives a picture and description for each model year.
Now it's true that after World War II, BMW was in a rebuilding period and did not produce any motorcycles for 1945-1947 and only 59 for 1948. So, there will be no pictures for those years unless you happen to have one of the rare 1948 models.
There are admittedly a lot of holes in this gallery. If you happen to have one of these BMWs or used to own one, please send me a picture and description so I can put it in the gallery. Here are the years I'm looking for:
1923-1928
1930-1939
1942-1960
1963-1965
1968, 1970
1972-1979
1981, 1984
1987-1990
1993
Take a look at what we have so far in 81 Years of BMW and help us to grow this gallery of BMW motorcycles.
