BMW has been making motorcycles for 85 years now, and I think that this would be a good place to gather a picture and footnote about one of the models of each and every year since 1923 to the present. I don't think I can add any links to pix on the forum yet, but they can't be too hard to find. If any one wants to PM me we can try to root out a glossy for each year from somewhere.

Do you think we can get all of them? There are 85, and the older ones might be harder to find.

Maybe if we post them with the info, we can ask the admin to move them in order by year later and lock it.

Kind of the motorcycleforums tribute to BMWs 85th.

In 1920 they made the Victoria, and in 1921 they made the motorized bicycle. The bicycle used the first BMW engine. Soon after they made the first bike plant to put out R32s. I know everyone is celebrating it now, but aren't they a few years too late?
