2023 BMW Motorcycles

Ever wondered what the complete range of new motorcycles a manufacturer has for a  particular year? Now that the lock downs have disappeared I can begin my search for a new motorcycle. As usual I have not idea what to buy – more to the distress of any sales rep than anyone else. I’m sure there are a few people like myself who aren’t swayed by marketing or any particular model and just after an interesting motorcycle that looks and goes well in our eyes. 

So this week’s spotlight motorcycle brand and the next part of my journey is: BMW Motorcycles is an interesting brand and manufacturer. Motorcycles are a side hustle for the motoring giant for decades. It wasn’t until the late 90’s did the company begin to focus on turning it around by introducing new engines and models. They subsequently PR and marketed the daylights out of their adventure motorcycle models and even introduce a racing /sports motorcycle range. Of course they won’t be promoting it until they actually start wining. Regardless BMW motorcycles are really good these days but so is every order brand. The biggest problems with BMW motorcycles is that they are overpriced compared to on others, instead leveraging the car brand which ironically in a image crisis with increasingly lacklustre models and decreasing street cred. 

So here are the BMW motorcycle models for 2023 – I’ve also decided to bookmark the page and update it with my comments over time on each model as I research each one.
