<p>From 5th to 7th of July 2024, Garmisch-Partenkirchen was again transformed into the Mecca of motorcycle culture, as the BMW Motorrad Days event returned to its traditional home after a two-year stint in Berlin. An emotional highlight for the global BMW Motorrad community, who appreciate this location for its breathtaking panoramic views of the Alps, and for the reminders of past BMW Motorrad Days.</p>

<p>Embrace the freedom to craft your own road legend with the BMW R 18. Discover a motorcycle that's engineered for endless possibilities and individual expression, with features ready to be personalized to your unique taste.</p> <p>Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about the R 18's customization capabilities, get inspired by stunning custom builds, and hear from professional custom designers.</p>

<p>Spectacular rides through jagged rocks, sand and mud, energy-sapping challenges in the trials - the riders have given everything. In the untouched dream scenery of Albania, the ultimate off-road adventure started on September 4, 2022: the 8th Int. GS Trophy. The week-long challenge is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that demands everything from the international participants: courage, skill and stamina. The tests that the 57 participants faced required great skill, but above all real team cohesion - pure #SpiritofGS.</p>

<p>Fuel tanks and jerseys, helmets and tools, calligraphy and photography: the workshop – or rather the wonderful and orderly chaos – of Shinya Kimura, one of the most sought-after customisers in the world (and one of the most interesting ones!), is packed with mementos and astonishing items of all kinds. No more than two or three motorcycles leave his holy halls each year. During his modification projects, he always focuses on only one bike at a time to be fully invested in the project. The flow and harmony as well as the Wabi-Sabi of Japanese aesthetics play a crucial role in this. The patina and the genuine character of the – mostly – old motorcycles are just as important to him as the essence of the future rider. After all, it’s the rider who completes the project. So it’s all the more exciting that this time Shinya has a brand-new R 18 in his workshop and the rider concerned is no less than he himself.</p>

<p>Passion, creative engineering, and the insatiable desire to achieve top performance – that is what the Concept RR stands for. A superlative superbike. A statement of technology and design. Born to lead. It shouldn’t be measured by what has been achieved, but rather by what is possible. The status quo is only ever a stop along the way forward.</p>

<p>In Berlin-Spandau, where aircraft engines were built up to 1945 and subsequently tool machine facilities were installed, the BMW motorcycles are given their new home and Berlin air in their tyres. In keeping with the new motorcycle boom, BMW manufactures a completely newly developed series with the /5 models.  </p>

<p>It’s the world premiere that the custom scene has been eagerly awaiting – a BMW Motorrad custom concept featuring a new prototype flat-twin engine – the highest capacity boxer motorcycle ever produced. Simply christened ‘Concept R 18’, this pure, stripped-down, raked-out bike gives more than a hint of what’s coming our way in the cruiser segment.</p>

<p>In the 1930s, the engineers not only considered performance development, but also introduced, for example, the hydraulically damped telescopic fork and the elaborately designed OHV boxer engine - with unique consequences and successes. </p>

<p>The 1950s are marked by sporting successes. BMW achieves remarkable top speeds with a series-manufactured machine. Furthermore the drivers of motorcycle teams win world championship titles.  </p>

<p>For Dirk Thelen, things are only heading in one direction: forwards, onwards and upwards. Where other participants of the four-day long Enduro d’Agadir overcome rocky gravel, sandy pistes and wet-clay mud with their hard Enduros, the four-time German Enduro champion effortlessly sets the pace – atop the new F 850 GS. A long-distance touring enduro subjected to a brutal test and terrain, right through Morocco.  </p>
