Although BMW has been manufacturing motorcycles for a century, the introduction of the GS model with a boxer engine in 1980 shaped the future of BMW Motorrad. Today, the GS series remains one of the brand’s most iconic and popular motorcycles among riders worldwide.

Additionally, those interested in visiting BMW Motorrad Welt can do so starting September 30, 2023, as the facility will open to the public.
