[QUOTE="klein, post: 928092, member: 23950"] I watched the documentary about BMW. Was very interesting. They were actually a plane manufacturer before and during WWI (had the best fighter planes in WWI, too). But after the war, BMW was no longer allowed to manufacture planes (all of Germany wasn`t). They knew they had the best engine technology for it`s time, and the owner asked one of his best technicians to develope a motorbike with a BMW engine. He did it, and it was so successful, and ofcourse was used in WWII and Hitler had one. After WWII, BMW again, was not permitted to build any longer, until 1948, and had to start up from scratch, no blue prints, and a bomb destroyed factory. They managed to replicate some plans from old existing bikes. Shortly after they also went into building cars. Buy the early 50`s moterbikes were in such small demand they almost given up production on them. But , with the help of good auto sales, they kept it going, and re-introducing new technology in bikes, and they succeeded having the best bikes in the world, again. Ever since then BMW is still a foot step ahead of any motorcycle manufacturer on the planet. Almost everything you see on todays motorbikes, originated from BMW (water cooling, ABS breaking, suspensions, drive shaft, and much more). [/QUOTE]
