BMW's motorcycle journey began in 1921 when the company started manufacturing engines for other companies. In 1923, BMW introduced its own motorcycles under the BMW Motorrad brand, debuting with the BMW R 32, which featured a flat-twin engine, also known as a "boxer-twin" engine. Production of motorcycles with flat-twin engines continues to this day, but BMW has also developed many models with other engine types. From Tourist Trophy races and speed records to off-road racing, BMW Motorrad has built a rich motorsport legacy. Scorpion has played a significant role in supporting this heritage by supplying exhaust systems to enthusiasts and independent racing teams, helping them channel the spirit of Motorrad into their riding experience.
