Amazing video on BMW motorcycle plant. You can’t beat German precision engineering and building. These plants today are amazing for the technology that is in them. Those engines in the double R are machined like a fine watch. Almost 300 km/h top speed and just shy of 200 h.p. not to be sneezed at or ridden by a novice.👍👍
Incredible. When I got to see my bike dealer prepped out of crate from Berlin I was amazed at the care in packing. Seeing how it was built makes me want to put it in the living room as a work of art!
Absolutely love my 2016 S1000RR, Since owning it and now watching this just confirms how precision German engineering makes for unbelievable riding experience! Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
Well, I hope like Hell they pass the diversity, affirmative action, and all round political correctness (that is US leftist dem's party) criteria necessary for acceptability.. Please let's make everyone happy, whether your tax dollars are at issue, or not..
I've been a Motorcyclist, for 50yrs. I've had 3 BMWs. I'm a U.S. ARMY VET. I lived in Kaiserslautern, for a year & a half. I was a TRUCKER, for The Army. I've seen LOTS of Germany. JS
Best looking BMW bike was the R100RS, the R80 RT was nice for touring, my 75 R90/S was fast and smooth but that swingarm needed some bracing, it cornered wobbly, unlike the MotoGuzzi 850 which was top heavy and like to fall into turns, my 750 Commando outcornered them both but was hard to kickstart with a combat engine. never understood the K series with the sewing machine engine, the later models had too much plastic, lost the simplicity of design except for the R80 G/S. Miss simpler bikes that didn't need specialized test equipment. Now I appreciate bikes from the sidelines. Body getting too old.
@@davidfalgout7304 Some people compensate for the aching hip joints and sore back and shoulder pain by getting a trike so they don't have to swing a leg over while supporting the bike and getting a custom seat for the back and handlebars set at certain height to prevent numbness from pinched nerves in the neck, they also put in plenty of stops for the Walnut size bladder and participate in short parades. They don't pick up bikes off the ground and they don't kickstart anything but their ass. Other than that, they are as right as rain, unless they get some inner ear balance problems. The spirit is young but the rest is rusty.
As the proud owner of the 2019 RR and previously a 2017 R, this a special video. Getting to see the production of these amazing machines is so cool, thanks for the upload!
I have ridden one. What an amazing machine! I am always impressed by BMW quality. Hopefully, some day I have my own GS and become a BMW certified tech.
i admire how Germans worked and also their knowledge in Engineering. Very precised and almost quality Engineering tools and machines were made in Germany.
Wiooowwe man i'm voiceless... I ride a 2002 midnight 1600 What you did is Marveling that bike and it oufff Did i ever enjoy watching this video. BTW i'm an older rider now and it made my day. I'm beginning to change things starting with them wheels. A BIG Thank You
Amazing video. They obviously had special access to the factory. Animations are professionally done. It amazes me that they can afford so much automation for motorcycles made in such limited quantities (compared to cars). Think it's hard to build a production line for a motorcycle? They run eight different models down the same production line. If I got the 34 motorcycles every two hours right that means that each stage has 211 seconds to complete operations. U shaped lines are used so that more or fewer workers can work on the line (you can turn around to work on the second station (if necessary). Cellular manufacturing. This allows them to cope with changes in demand (as well as changing the 211 seconds per station (takt time)). Of course, there are separate sub-assembly lines as well as final assembly. 15:35 "The hose for the air box is secured with a kind of surgical clamp." Back in the '60's we used to call those "roach clips". While the video mostly covered manufacturing, they did touch on product development. Racing is a confirmation of the correctness of the design and the correctness of the manufacturing.
As much as I'm attracted to the sex appeal of a BMW, I find that the reliability and performance of a HONDA makes it competitive in the showroom, and on the track.
If I had a dollar for every time the narrator makes something standard in the industry sound like a big deal, I don't know, I guess I'd have abit of money.
I had a bike for 10 years, up until someone didn't see me and turned right infront of me, 3 seconds I had to react, just long enough to lock the breaks, bike didn't make it but Im still here. A few buldged vertebrae, and 3 months physical therapy and I consider myself very lucky considering all the times that I nearly wrecked.
I've have the 2019 S1000R, yes the re tuned engine with more sensible handle bars, love it. Heated grips, cruise, up/dien quick shifter, and popping standard Akra exhaust. It's a beast. The new 2021 gen looks tempting with tft display, and new engine. No other company picks and drops off your bike for any service.
Great job showing and telling, sure wished I payed for one when I was over there in 1978 in bam Bert. I think I spelled wrong, but great place over there. I remember almost every day of the things I did over there great people. Thanks again for showing well see ya next time see ya bye.
I test rode one when I took in my K1300S for service (new tyres, oil). I hit 120mph/200kph while merging onto a motorway. It was effortless. That bike cannot obey speed limits. During my 30m test ride I learned 2(maybe 3) things: 1. HOLYFUCKINSHIT & 2/3. I'd be under remand or the ground in a months time.
7 of us bought beemers. And only 2 didn't have any trouble. Replacement wiring looms (complete loom) replacement ECU's, replacement cams on a lc with 7k on the clock. My first R9T broke down on holiday with an electrical problem with 9k on the clock so I traded it for a second R9T. It now has 9k on the clock and I have a different electrical problem that bmw can't identify. I hope to get this bike fixed but I swear, never ever will i buy another bmw. They can make the floor as shiney as they like but if parts are being sourced in China or wherever the labour is cheap then there is gonna be real expensive problems for customers that bikes are out of warranty. Buy Japanese.
Those electrics and ECU's are probably where money is saved. Construction is probably by China where they put items in to collect your personal data, without BMW even knowing it.
Im already use ducati 1198s, 2009 zx10r, 2011 yzf r1, 2010 rsv4 and 2012 cbr1000rr. After test my friend 2016 s1krr, this bike best friendly handling ever. Smooth and fast! And most update eletronics bike. Thumbs up bmw👌
First bike? bad idea buddy, trust me im doing you a favor. you will drop it, possibly wreck it, and would feel too nervous your goona mess it up while learning your first year or two. save up yes, but save an extra 3k and get a used 400cc so start and learn.
@@DyingToLive12 In addition, don't laugh, putting in a bumnch of miles on bicycle can add tons of intuitive understanding. There is one giant difference though: the rider is heavier than the vehicle on bicycle, lighter on moto. Nonetheless, there's so much to learn from a bicycle. (Disclosure: I was a professional cyclist so there's where that bias comes from.)
As a BMW owner, I advise you to get a more sensible Japanese bike. You will not have a good owner experience with a BMW. They are overpriced and the quality is not up to par. You will undoubtedly spend too much for the bike, repairs and even insurance. Don't buy anything you cannot comfortably afford. If you are "working hard" to afford a BMW, you cannot afford it. You will not be able to maintain it properly due to the high cost of BMW parts, repairs and ownership. BMW does not make any "entry level" models. Most BMWs are either too heavy or too powerful for a new rider. Everybody wants to buy their dream bike for their first bike. The people who buy too much bike for their experience level end up getting seriously hurt or killed. Start with a smaller, lighter bike and work your way to bigger and more powerful bikes as your skill level and experience allows. Once you have had a few different bikes, (and hopefully you are making a decent living by then) this would be a better time in your life to buy a BMW motorcycle. Just like giving a car to a newly licensed driver, you are looking for trouble if you gave them an exotic car compared to a Honda Civic. As a driver becomes more experienced and mature, then it is a better idea to buy a supercar or sportscar.
Usually they tell you to quarantine and not leave your house unless you need to I have a gallon of orange juice brand new I will give it to you tomorrow you need plenty of vitamin C let me know if you need anything

great respect to the 1000 RR from BMW; truly legendary motorcycle; this documentary was fantastic people chill about the music...who cares? I've been very happy with my Rocket III Roadster from Triumph the fine folks at Hinckley, UK have outstanding Quality Control as does BMW
The Lady you met Victoria she seems a beautiful warm person. Plus your cam manor at the check point with the soldiers well done it’s the only way to get through
Did they replace it under the warranty ? My 2018 S1000R seized last weekend with only 2,700 miles. I think its going to take them forever to ship another engine from Berlin. ?
I've worked on a few assembly lines. It's not that great, bud. Have you ever seen the movie, "Gung Ho"? You know the scene where the guys are eating, sleeping, and even urinating in a bottle, at/on the assembly line? Real life assembly lines are like that ALL THE TIME!
RakinBill , are you sure you want to do a repetitive task 8 hours a day, all week, month after month, year after year? It's not exactly fun. But it may be for you.
23:42 "up to 1800 motorbikes are registered each year in Germany alone" Hmmmm....in a country of 80 million people it probably should have been 18000. Oh well, it's just a zero.
Believe it or not, bmw is mostly for old fellas, like harley. Japan is the king of 4 cylinders. in off road gs is the worst against yamaha, triumph, ktm, honda, etc, bmw naked is heavy. And all their motorcycles feel like touring ones... like a harley with tft screen

I've worked on a few assembly lines. It's not that great, bud. Have you ever seen the movie, "Gung Ho"? You know the scene where the guys are eating, sleeping, and even urinating in a bottle, at/on the assembly line? Real life assembly lines are like that ALL THE TIME!
RakinBill , are you sure you want to do a repetitive task 8 hours a day, all week, month after month, year after year? It's not exactly fun. But it may be for you.
Germans make mankind proud. they are gifts to the world
Fantástico!
Brilliant. Mind-blowing. It appears that engine break-in is a pretty sketchy concept, considering that motors are tested at high RPMs.
A break-in period is not required for 4-stroke engines
I thought they said tested to 140 kmh. That is mid range revs on this bike.
23:42 "up to 1800 motorbikes are registered each year in Germany alone" Hmmmm....in a country of 80 million people it probably should have been 18000. Oh well, it's just a zero.
This is quite an amazing operation. When did BMW stop making bikes in Munich? My 1977 R100RS states Munich on the VIN plate.
3:38 ConRAD ... Never knew Conrad worked there lol.
4 Conrad’s lol
Very thorough!
For the opposite, watch the Royal Enfield assembly video.
It's awesome in its own way.
Produced by Welt? Lotta wooden tools being used? Sticks for screwdrivers? Chassis being dragged around by cows? Stuff like that?
32:15 LOL. How did they let that clip slip through?
Stiff competition from the USA, LMAO 🤣 🤣🤣😂
Yeah I agree Harley is done and are there any others?? Indian doesn't count haha. Although I do like the FTR
I go out of my way not to buy anything made in the US
Believe it or not, bmw is mostly for old fellas, like harley.
Japan is the king of 4 cylinders. in off road gs is the worst against yamaha, triumph, ktm, honda, etc, bmw naked is heavy. And all their motorcycles feel like touring ones... like a harley with tft screen
@@E-087 I know a lot of so called old fellas, that would run your ass ragged.
@@E-087 oh by the way, you didn’t name any 4 cylinders that are adventure bikes. Really KTM just about has the same BS reliability as the bmw.
Fine machines. No doubt.
