The Treaty of Versailles that changed the face of BMW. Until the end of World War 1, BMW Manufacturing Company and aircraft engines. Famous emblem of a circular blue and white, which is said to represent aircraft propellers in motion, being the last reminder of the company. The fact that the logo actually derives from the colors of the flag of Bavaria, and was used a good 12 years before BMW began to build aircraft engines, has done nothing to interfere with the popular myth.
When the air is the BMW German power was dissolved and outlawed after the war, to divert attention elsewhere to put bread on the table. After briefly flirting with the manufacturer of agricultural machinery and even office furniture, and began building motorcycles. At that time, was the chief designers of a man named Max Freese, who was responsible for the famous Boxer engines, the first of which was based on a British Douglas design.
In 1923, generated R32, which was to become the basis of future Boxer supported by BMW. This system uses a shaft drive motorcycle that will feature in all motorcycles BMW until 1994.
The BMW motorcycle to prove invaluable in North Africa during World War 2. The absence of a string that can be plugged with sand, and was so successful that the request of Harley Davidson by the U.S. military, to copy the device, which they did duly produced Shi Harley Davidson. With the German war machine insatiable for motorcycles, the company flourished during the war years, but Germany's fortunes declined, so did BMW. Munich factory and destroyed on the ground by bombing and after the war the Russians dismantled the Eisenach plant re-assembled in Irbit. Not only that, but the cream has been moved from engineers to Russia or the United States to work on jet engines research.
It also eased restrictions on the production of motorcycles, BMW and a return to basics. Survived one of the old plans, so engineers had to use the motorcycle before the war, the new model for their computers. The bike that came off the production line in the R24, which incidentally do not comment back. In 1949 more than 9000 built R24, a figure which rose to over 17000 by the year 1950. And R68, and provided a motorcycle sports in 1952. This was a 594cc machine to become something of a collector's piece, also produced less than 1500.
1950 saw a decline in demand for motorcycles. This period saw a decline in the production of 30000 units to less than 6000 by the year 1957. By 50 late is being exported for the vast majority of motorcycles BMW to the United States, Butler and Smith Company. The presence of only the distribution rights, but despite the fact that sales were strong America, a company that is struggling for survival. With financial assistance from the Quandt Herbert and the Division of cars boom, and pulled the BMW through, and in 1959, which had fostered a reputation as America, John Prenton rode R69 BMW from New York to Los Angeles in 53 hours and 11 minutes, and so, shaving over 22 hours off the existing record.
And R27, and made the last of the single-cylinder models in 1967. And the changing times and the public demanded different machines, and thus built the BMW, not with Sidecars in mind, but athletic performance. In 1970 the company introduced completely re-set has been updated from the motorcycle, and R50 / 5, R60 / 5 and R75 / 5. In 1974 500cc model was removed from the catalog and replace it with a bike 900cc. In 1975 R90S was introduced and soon earned the tag of a motorcycle the best 'Supersports' of his day.
