Sales of BMW Motorrad are 7.4 percent ahead of the previous year after 10 months. As of October, 109,052 motorcycles and maxi-Scooters were delivered (previous year: 101,530 units). Sales in that month rose by 5.5 percent to a new record for October of 8,835 vehicles (previous year: 8,376 units).
Heiner Faust, head of sales and marketing at BMW Motorrad, said: "We have increased our deliveries by 7.4 percent since the start of the year, reaching over 109,000 motorcycles and Maxi-Scooters. In October we achieved an increase of 5.5 percent with 8,835 units, also a new record. Demand for our motorcycles worldwide is developing very positively.

A few weeks ago BMW Motorrad presented three highly innovative vehicles at the Intermot motorcycle show in Cologne with the R 1200 R, the R 1200 RS and the S 1000 RR. A few days ago, two more new products were the centre of attention at the EICMA in Milan: the new S 1000 XR and F 800 R.
With the S 1000 XR BMW Motorrad is expanding its product portfolio to include a genuine all-rounder in the Adventure Sport segment. The fourth member of the family of high-powered sporty BMW motorcycles with four-cylinder in-line engine unites dynamic touring qualities, sporting performance, great comfort and superior everyday performance.
The over 600,000 visitors to the show were equally interested in the new BMW F 800 R. The sporty roadster with liquid-cooled 2-cylinder engine offers improved all-round qualities and a new design.
