| Some 7,000 BMW fans hit Gillette
http://www.gillettenewsrecord.com
People around Gillette are used to seeing a lot of motorcycles coming through town this time of year, but not as many as they have been seeing this week and certainly not ones sporting BMW logos.
The 36th annual BMW Motorcycle Owners Association International Rally is rolling into town. The rally officially started 8 a.m. Thursday, but members from across the United States and a few from around the world have been arriving all week.

| The Saint's 1977 BMW R100RS Motorcycle
http://www.saint.org
The Saint's motorcycle had a license plate of "ST 2" which complements the Jaguar XJ-S' "ST 1". Ian Ogilvy, who played Simon Templar in The Return of The Saint, was responsible for this addition to The Saint's collection of vehicles. Ogilvy owned his first motorcycle at the age of sixteen, and has been a avid enthusiast ever since. Ogilvy was quoted in 1978 as saying, "It was my idea that Simon Templar should have a motorcycle as well as a car. After all, there are times when it can be more useful for him than a car. And with with all the appeals for people to cut down on petrol consumption, it's now completely acceptable."

| BMW's 1988 K 100 RS
http://www.clutchandchrome.com
It was 25 years ago in 1983 when BMW introduced the ground-breaking new line of water-cooled 4-cylinder motorcycles called simply the "K." There is much history around the K bikes, as they became known as the new flagship BMW motorcycle range with powerful engines mated to modern styling. The K bikes soon became the new host machines for BMW's most cutting-edge technology and the most powerful power plants.

| The S 1000 RR Motorcycle Debuts
http://forums.bimmerforums.com
Director of BMW’s motorcycle or “Motorrad” division, Hendrik von Kuenheim, debuted the company’s newest bike in a whole new class of motorcycle for the German company.
The 2009 S 1000 RR will be BMW’s first Supersport bike and helps to mark the company’s entry into the Superbike World Championship. Essentially a racing bike for the road, the S 1000 RR is powered by a 1.0-liter inline-four of as yet unspecified output. The company tells us that the powerplant will meet the power, performance, weight, and package requirements for a superbike in “typical BMW style,” which we take to mean that it’s quite fast.
BMW plans on building 1,000 examples of the bike in the first production run, which will be available for purchase by next year. Enjoy a browse through our S 1000 RR gallery below, or click through the jump to read von Kuenheim’s speech officially announcing the new sports bike.

| BMW F 650 GS and F 650 GS Dakar
http://www.bmw-dakar.co.za
The BMW 650 GS range is a robust off-road touring bike. It is light and easy to handle.
It comes in the normal BMW F 650 GS and also the BMW F 650 GS Dakar.
The Dakar range is more suitable for serious off-road work. The Dakar features a 21 inch front wheel as opposed to the 19 inch front wheel of the normal GS. It also has long travel suspension and taller tinted windscreen that can be easily removed for off-road tracks. But the screen is rather useless due to the angle it was fitted. If you buy one of these bikes you will most probably have to fit an aftermarket screen. I cannot believe that a company who has been building touring bikes for so long can fit such a crappy screen.

The lid on top of the gas tank opens to reveal a complete tool kit.
Note that the left cylinder is mounted forward of the right cylinder so the connecting rods can pass each other.

http://bmw-motorcycles.blogspot.com
Forged in iron and steeped in motor oil, the history of BMW motorcycles boils down to one thing - the quest for perfect rider's machine. From the early days of aero-engineering, through prosperity and hard times, BMW's commitment to excellence has never wavered. In fact, fully 50% of all the motorcycles we've ever manufactured still prowl the world's roads.
