Exceptional Engineering: Motorbike Factory
The BMW plant in Berlin-Spandau has been one of the most important international locations in motorcycle construction for 47 years. Two-wheelers made here are traded worldwide. The product range of the Bavarian automobile manufacturer includes a variety of models, including agile cross-bikes, sporty cruisers, and eco-friendly electric motorcycles. Special wishes? No problem. Bikes that go beyond the usual standard version can also be made to measure in Spandau.

Funny you say that. Dropped my RC390 off at the dealership at 8am. Came back at 12:30pm and had to wait. Finally got on it at 1:30pm, got out into the country and my shift lever came off because no lock tight was used. Never rush your mechanic 👍

@raynic1173 4 года назад

I had an uncle who was a BMW bike enthusiast, he owned an ole '80's GS boxer. He would challenge anyone to a 100 mile race, the key was you had to simulate a tire change by removing and reinstalling both wheels, with only the tools on the bike. I think he would win too, first he could ride the wheels off that GS, even in the canyons. Also, I think BMW had the only tool kit (at least for a long time) with a wrench that fit the rear axle. He was a character, R.I.P. Uncle John.

@BigUriel 4 года назад

Well some bikes are a real pain the ass to replace the spark plugs. There is a reason whey the engine is complete before they mount it on the frame. Also working in an assembly line is obviously very different. Everything is laid out and all the highly specific tools are within reach, the workers only do a few tasks and do them over and over until they can do them with their eyes closed, it's all optimized for maximum time efficiency. Also everything is new, no rusted bolts or nuts anywhere that just don't want to come off.

I've an S1000R, ridden it all over Europe and it's never missed a beat. I also have an Aprilia RSV1000R, beautiful bike, and the same with that, even took it to Rimini from Ireland for the MotoGP in 2017 and it never left me down. I'd say a lot of failures are down to bad maintenance.

@HalfdeadRider 4 года назад

Bad maintenance or luck, any bike or car could possibly have a component that has some kind of un-detectable fault waiting to fail on the unlucky guy who gets that particular vehicle. The sad thing is that those people then think it's an unreliable brand, when in reality it's not. The internet age does not help with reputation either, you search for problems you'll find them all online, all the ones with no issues have nothing to report/moan about online.

@shananagans5 5 лет назад

The power they get out of modern engines still astonishes me. Two hundred horses out of one liter still amazes me. I took auto shop in HS in the 1980's. I put a 454 in my Camaro. It was making +/- 300 hp and that was fast for the mid 80's. This little girl humiliated more than one middle aged guy with their new Corvette. lol That was only 40hp per liter and it was considered a moderately hot engine. A really hot street engine was 60hp/liter and you were lucky if it lasted 50,000 miles. Now that's laughable. Now they are making 2 liter engines that put out 200hp in Grandma's econo box and it will happily last for 200,000 miles. On the high performance side they are doubling that and, no doubt, they will last far longer than 50,000 miles.

@ingebrecht 5 лет назад

There are always monetary considerations in performance. The final limit is the cost the customer will pay and the competition. These are still primitive piston powered motors with no supercharger or turbochargers added. After that a gas turbine is the next step. An engine the size of a motorcycle engine that is powered by a gas turbine could easily produce 2000 hp.

@dangrimes5078 5 лет назад

Shananagans I was a decade ahead of you but I can relate to what you are saying. Your point is valid, if you compare apples to apples it is still just a matter of better manufacturing and engineering and it is amazing. I remember we had a dyno in our auto shop in high school. I remember our auto shop teacher saying that he never had a car on the dyno that put out anywhere near the power at the rear wheels that it was supposed to have. I mean less than half.
