I knew and worked with a German engineer in Montréal in 1981 who had worked with professor Porsche on the design and manufacturing of the first motorcycle suspension for BMW before the war. He was an expert in foundry sands. He was one of the nicest and knowledgeable gentlemen that I have ever met. Miss you Günther.

This is a great history recap on BMW motorcycles! Well done. With the 100th BMW Motorcycle Anniversary coming up, this was a great refresher!

all of the BMW history at the Anamosa motorcycle museum was amazing! It's too bad that museum is closing.

This fall I’ll be 10 years a BMW rider. It’s my second bike, my first BMW, and it’s the only bike that I ever want to own or ride until I am no longer able to. R1200GS

Very informative, interesting and fun to watch!

Thank you for this Dennis Gage!

I had a BMW R69S, it was the finest motorcycle of the 60's. The hand welds were superior to the later robot welds. The engine lasted longer between rebuilds than any other bike.

Great video (love my 1983 R100RS) but let’s be factual. Those “Phillips” head screws are actually Japan Industrial Standard or JIS screws (see about 22:20). These screws will strip with a Phillips driver but they do not strip if the correct (and greatly superior) JIS drivers are used. Also, for a clue about the logo…have a look at the flag and coat of arms of Bavaria (and note that it nothing to do with aircraft propellors).

80th anniversary, and now a HUNDRED years! Congratulations BMW!

Great recap of BMW motorcycle history! My R100rs was built 65 years after the R23 was introduced. 118k miles later it is still running strong. Looking forward to many more miles on it.

LOVE the animation at 44mins! I have an 85 K100~ explains why more vibration vs K75

35:41 How does the telelever work: When you brake the bike wants to dive down, the "Querlenker" attached to the motor (structural part of the frame) wants to push the front wheel / fork assembly forwards due to the radius / pivot motion of the "querlenker", like a triangle with a variable side or like the swing arm on the back, but the braking action doesn't allow that to happen and thus neutralizing the dive effect.
That's ingenious.

I saw in the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa a fighter jet that was brought back into Canada from Germany in 1945. The aircraft is a Heinkel 162 A-2. It's a single jet engine fighter made of monocoque plywood (metal was getting rare in Germany at the end of the war0. The jet engine is a BMW engine. There is no mention of a BMW jet engine in the documentary.

It's amazing.

Very nice work of historical documentation you have done here.
Good work.
Properly referenced documentation in the timeline is appreciated. This allows us to go directly to the parts that interest us the most.
It's as bray as BMW is classic, as well as high quality.
👍🏾
It's a real archival document.

Amazing Legacy. For the Flat Twin lovers have a look at Meister Engineering, Geneva, Switzerland.

The front FORK (singular) uses oil to DAMP bumps. Damn, I hate it when so-called experts mis-use these two words. A FORK uses two fork tubes to make a FORK. If you dampen something, you get it wet. To DAMP something, you add a slowness to the action of its system.
