80 years ago, BMW presented the R 5 to the international public - an exciting new technological development that was to influence motorcycle construction right through to the 1950s.

To mark the 80th anniversary of the BMW R 5, BMW Motorrad is honouring this icon at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2016 with a special model: the BMW R 5 Hommage.

For generations of motorcyclists, BMW Motorrad has been regarded as a leader in terms of motorcycling safety.

BMW Motorrad research continues to work on increasing these safety benefits, thus making motorcycling even more attractive.
Space is becoming increasingly scarce in the major conurbation centres and traffic density is growing continuously. Political and social conditions are changing. All these factors coalesce in increasing demands in terms of private transportation. The concept vehicle BMW E-Scooter with electric drive provides an innovative look at changing urban mobility needs.
Making motorcycles better, safer, and more fun to ride with innovative developments has been one of the BMW Motorrad core competences for decades.
