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. And on each sits a rider who demands nothing less than the best. We should know, we've been building motorcycles for them for 80 years.<br /><br />BMW, like most motorcycle manufacturers, looked to racing and time trials as a means of both boosting publicity and testing new innovations. BMWs reputation in road-racing and off-road circuits has been well established despite several periods of dormancy for competitive events. It all started a year after the first motorcycle was produced and continues today. Here is a decade by decade overview of the most significant races or events in BMW competitive motorcycling history.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1050853322122077464-7290911987050692168?l=bmw-motorcycles.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>BMWnoreply@blogger.com1
