BMW R32: 1923-26

BMWs first motorcycle. Need we say any more?

History tells us that legendary BMW designer Max Friz locked himself in his house and drew the plans for what would be known as the BMW R32.

The result was a 486 cc engine, with aluminum cylinders, that produced 8 ½ horsepower and a top speed of about 60 mph. Along with the engine and gear box forming a single-unit construction, other features of the R32 included a re-circulating wet-sump oiling system that continued to be used until the late ‘60s.

BMW’s characteristic outward-pointing cylinder heads also were characteristic of this first bike, and had a legendary influence on decades of other Bimmer bikes, as did the shaft drive used in the R32 . –Larry Santa
