“For the 20th anniversary in Garmisch-Partenkirchen at the Hausbergbahn – overall the 23rd BMW Motorrad Days – the international BMW Motorrad community celebrated with product innovations, exhibitors, shows, test ride opportunities, and not least with rustic Bavarian lifestyle and great party atmosphere,” Motorrad said.
For fans of the BMW GS and G/S models, BMW Motorrad had an off-road track that was specially created for this event at Hausberg, where the current F 900 GS, R 1300 GS, and the brand-new R 12 G/S could be tested off-road in their respective segments.
The two BMW WorldSBK factory riders Toprak Razgatlıoğlu and Michael van der Mark also were present – available to fans for autographs and photos as well as showing their “extraordinary” skills both off-road with the BMW R 1300 GS and at the stunt show.
In the Heritage Area, unique custom bikes could be seen alongside shows in the original Motodrom.
“Besides various stunt shows, the focus was especially on the brand experience of BMW Motorrad. With the latest motorcycle models, which were extensively tested in around 1,600 test rides, concept bikes, accessories, a large fan shop, international travel, training and test ride partners, Rent A Ride, Fuel for Life, the BMW Motorrad Plant Berlin, the BMW Group Classic as well as numerous international exhibitors and partners, there was much for visitors to see and experience,” Motorrad said.
