What is more, last month showed the best February sales for the fifth time in succession in the company's history with 9,195 vehicles sold and an increase of 13.5 %. The main drivers of this success are the continuing high demand for the models we launched in 2014 and the new models of the current season. This spring will again see five new motorcycle launches."

Meanwhile there are two new boxer models lined up for the start next season: the new BMW R 1200 R and the R 1200 RS.

With the new S 1000 XR BMW Motorrad is introducing a high-performance, sports-oriented 4-cylinder motorcycle. It combines the qualities of the BMW Motorrad GS, Touring and Sports models to provide a completely new ride experience under the name "Adventure Sport".
