Tracing the Roots of the BMW R nineT /5

The production of BMW automobiles increased exponentially in the 1960s. That’s when the company decided to begin construction of motorcycles. The operation started in 1969 with a staff of 400 employees. At first, it was the R 50/5, R60/5 and the R 75/5 that began the long heritage.

It didn’t take long for people to realize how amazing this lineup was. It’s fair to say that they were an immediate success.
