More awards for BMW Motorrad
BMW EARNED MORE CATEGORY wins in Motorcyclist Magazine’s 2015 Motorcycle of the Year awards than any other manufacturer: • Best Sport Bike: S 1000 RR • Best Adventure Bike: R 1200 GS Adventure (second year in a row)
• Best Touring Bike: R 1200 RT Motorcyclist editors wrote, “Every
time we ride BMW’s 999cc S 1000 RR we’re blown away. Not only is the dou- ble-R the most powerful bike in the category—slamming down a bonafide 184 hp in our latest test—but it’s also the most civil superbike available and without a doubt the best daily rider in the class…No one in their right mind will debate the double-R’s athleticism or value.” “It is a tremendous honor to receive

a ‘Best Bike’ award from Motorcyclist in any category; to be the only manufacturer to earn three in one year is just fantastic,” said Kris Odwarka, Vice President, BMW Motorrad USA. “It demonstrates that the motorcycling community wants and appre- ciates products that reflect a continued commitment to engineering development and prowess.” Of the two repeat winners, Motorcyclist
editors dubbed the BMW R 1200 GS Adven- ture “A Motorcycle Masterpiece,” stating, “Many other manufacturers have tried to peel back the BMW GS’s headlock on this category…but no other manufacturer has quite managed the GS’s combination of off- road ability, commuting and sport riding manageability, and genuine cross-country comfort.” “Still great, yet to be challenged,”
Motorcyclist editors observed about the BMW R 1200 RT. “We have an unreason- able man-crush on anything with BMW’s new liquid-cooled engine. We gush end- lessly about the GS and now we’re giving the similarly powered R 1200 RT the nod a sec- ond year in a row…For now, it’s time for the RT to shine, combining rare sporting char- acter in a bike built to leap state lines in serene, weather-protected comfort.” Other awards: • Motorcyle of the Year: Yamaha YZF-R1
