BMW Motorcycles storms into India! - Motorradical idea!

BMW S1000RR, HP2 Sport, R1200GS Adventure, R1300, the mammoth K1600...all in India! [Super awesome videos included!]By:BSM Team |Published :April 16, 2011  BMW Motorrad is finally here, although most might have forgotten that the Bavarian bikes aren’t so new to India after all. Not too long ago, the F650 Funduro was sold in the country, but it sold in very small numbers owing to its prohibitive price tag. And before that, in the 1950s, when Goa wasn’t a part of India, many BMW singles (the R26 and the R25) were pressed into service as motorcycle taxis, now popularly known in the sunshine state as ‘pilots’. No known examples of these specimens survive as taxis, though. Yes, BMW motorcycles aren’t new to India at all.

This time around, BMW wants to do things differently. It has brought in all the motorcycles that exceed 800cc from its international range, a must in order to skip the lengthy and expensive homologation procedure in India. We expect the lower capacity BMW motorcycles to make it into the country at a later date, though.
