This division was created in 2007, although the manufacture of motorcycles by BMW dates back to 1923 with the R 32. Already then the twin-cylinder Boxer motor layout was adopted, which it still maintains today, along with other configurations.<\/p><p><b>History of BMW Motorrad<\/b><\/p><p>The 80-year history of BMW Motorrad dates back to the end of the First World War, when the Treaty of Versailles forced the company BMW AG to suspend the production of aircraft engines. However, BMW is escaping this impending crisis through a flexibility-oriented corporate policy.\u00a0<\/p><p>In 1923, after developing and building a Boxer engine for other companies, chief builder Max Frizin created the first BMW motorcycle in just five weeks. The R 32 is presented in the same year at the Berlin car show. This innovative model is all the rage due to the transverse flat engine on a double tube chassis, in order to improve air cooling. This system ensures that power is transmitted directly to the wheel via a cardan shaft - a design principle that is still used in BMW motorcycles today.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc8ce00 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bc8ce00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2580\" height=\"1932\" src=\"https:\/\/bmwclubslaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BMW-R32.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8630\" alt=\"BMW R32\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bmwclubslaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BMW-R32.jpg 2580w, https:\/\/bmwclubslaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BMW-R32-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bmwclubslaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BMW-R32-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bmwclubslaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BMW-R32-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bmwclubslaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BMW-R32-500x374.jpg 500w, https:\/\/bmwclubslaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BMW-R32-1000x749.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bmwclubslaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/BMW-R32-800x599.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2580px) 100vw, 2580px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a93653 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6a93653\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure id=\"attachment_8465\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8465\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><figure id=\"attachment_6346\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6346\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6346\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><figure id=\"attachment_8630\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8630\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8630\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>BMW R32<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figcaption><\/figure>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e46ba10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e46ba10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Below is a timeline of the details that have marked the success of BMW Motorrad throughout its 80 years.<\/p><ul><li><strong>1924<\/strong>\u00a0Rudolf Schleicher, BMW Chief Test Engineer, develops the first 16 hp sports engine used in the R 37.
