BMW was established in the early 1900s as a manufacturer of aircraft engines and produced their first motorcycle in 1923, the R23, already sporting the flat twin boxer configuration they have now become synonymous with. In 1980 they launched the R80G/ S, the initials standing for Gelande (Offroad) and Strasse (Street) becoming the first large capacity multi-purpose bike and at a stroke creating the now popular 'Adventure Bike' market. The bike went on to dominate the Paris Dakar rally in the 80s and in its latest incarnation is one of the best selling bikes in Europe.
