Maria Costello MBE is going back in time to compete in a golden era of motorsport at the Goodwood Revival.

Georg Meier’s 75-year-old 1939 Type 255 is on display alongside Michael Dunlop’s 2014 S 1000 RR.

February 2014 was the start of a new and unique BMW Motorrad project. Gathered together in one room in Japan were four professional bike builders and one motorcycle – the new R nineT custom boxer. This meeting was the beginning of a four month plan for the respected artists to develop, build and create their own interpretations of a customised R nineT.

The 500,000th Boxer-powered GS model – a new R 1200 GS – has rolled off the production line at the BMW Motorrad factory. Construction of BMW motorcycles commenced at the Berlin-Spandau plant in 1969 and the first ever GS entered production in the autumn of 1980.

These two pedigree racers will accompany an astounding line-up of motorcycles at Bonhams’ January event on The Strip.

At a special celebration event held today at the BMW Museum in Munich, BMW Motorrad has unveiled the new R nineT classic roadster.

Maria Costello MBE took a step back in time this weekend, when she took to the track with the Classic BMW team at the Goodwood Revival meeting.

BMW Motorrad helped ensure that the 20th Festival of Speed was the biggest and best ever. With weekend visitors to Goodwood house topping 185,000 over the three day event, star riders, motorcycles and staff from BMW Motorrad helped keep the crowds entertained in the beautiful sunshine.

BMW Motorrad invites motorsport enthusiasts to join them at the prestigious Festival of Speed at Goodwood on 12-14 July, and help celebrate 90 years of BMW.

90 years of BMW Motorrad, 90 years of two-wheeled history – hardly another motorcycle manufacturer can boast such a longstanding and successful heritage as BMW.
