- The BMW plant in Berlin has been one of the most important international locations in motorcycle construction for decades. Two-wheelers manufactured here are traded worldwide. The product range of the Bavarian automotive group includes a variety of models, including agile cross machines, sporty cruisers or environmentally friendly electric motorcycles. Special wishes? No problem. Bikes that go beyond the usual standard version can also be made to measure in Berlin. Among other things our BMW documentary shows the creation of a BMW S 1000 RR Superbike.

WELT Documentary amazing documentary
Welt piracy
I loved watching this episode. How about a KTM and/or Triumph documentary?! Pleeeaaaase?!
It's a good idea to show more of the MC. People or things who cares?
:
This is how a production documentary should be made. 👏
by lying?
Amazing video on BMW motorcycle plant. You can’t beat German precision engineering and building. These plants today are amazing for the technology that is in them. Those engines in the double R are machined like a fine watch. Almost 300 km/h top speed and just shy of 200 h.p. not to be sneezed at or ridden by a novice.👍👍
They’re the toughest of metal making
Incredible. When I got to see my bike dealer prepped out of crate from Berlin I was amazed at the care in packing. Seeing how it was built makes me want to put it in the living room as a work of art!
Its crazy how much you get for £17000 some bicycles cost more!
I love this video. Man, what a factory, machinery !!! So clean, spotless, a pleasure to see. I got home that evening after watching this and looked at my K1600 GA again and I said, thank you BMW.
Only a fool throws away $30K+ for a bike.
@@billadmond9450 That is why we are all different on this planet and thank God for that. It may cost you 30K, but mine was 22k out the door and I don't mind after owning it for one year. Super pleasure machine. Happy riding from the fool 😎......!!!!!!
@@alp3781 So did God pay the bill? LOL
Love this video too. I got home this evening after watching this video and looked at my R1200GS 2018 bought brand new for 23k € and I said f*** you BMW for selling me a such full of electronic problems bike! (crazy throttle problems, engine that goes in protection or that rev up without touching anything, esa that completly lose the pre-charge, quick-shifter that stops working after a while) So sad :(
@@billadmond9450 Yes Bill, my God, my bank account and I don't mind paying if the product is great and so far, I would do it again. Happy riding.....!!!!
Absolutely love my 2016 S1000RR, Since owning it and now watching this just confirms how precision German engineering makes for unbelievable riding experience! Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
@Joe Garfield cheers bro it really is something else that bike 👌🏻
I've been a Motorcyclist, for 50yrs.
I've had 3 BMWs.
I'm a U.S. ARMY VET.
I lived in Kaiserslautern, for a year & a half.
I was a TRUCKER, for The Army. I've seen LOTS of Germany.

Best looking BMW bike was the R100RS, the R80 RT was nice for touring, my 75 R90/S was fast and smooth but that swingarm needed some bracing, it cornered wobbly, unlike the MotoGuzzi 850 which was top heavy and like to fall into turns, my 750 Commando outcornered them both but was hard to kickstart with a combat engine. never understood the K series with the sewing machine engine, the later models had too much plastic, lost the simplicity of design except for the R80 G/S. Miss simpler bikes that didn't need specialized test equipment. Now I appreciate bikes from the sidelines. Body getting too old.
@@flukedogwalker3016 How old is to Old ? I am thinking the same thing... but damn I hate getting old! Me= 70's
@@davidfalgout7304 Some people compensate for the aching hip joints and sore back and shoulder pain by getting a trike so they don't have to swing a leg over while supporting the bike and getting a custom seat for the back and handlebars set at certain height to prevent numbness from pinched nerves in the neck, they also put in plenty of stops for the Walnut size bladder and participate in short parades. They don't pick up bikes off the ground and they don't kickstart anything but their ass. Other than that, they are as right as rain, unless they get some inner ear balance problems. The spirit is young but the rest is rusty.
Do you have a point? Who cares?
Having a 1968 BMW R60/2 with 46,350+/- miles … This is a whole other world !
I will stick to my CBF1000 but kuddos on that documentary, to BMW for letting us tour this beautiful plant and their teams for their tremendous work
And still spanked by the R1. That's just great.
As much as I'm attracted to the sex appeal of a BMW, I find that the reliability and performance of a HONDA makes it competitive in the showroom, and on the track.
7 of us bought beemers. And only 2 didn't have any trouble. Replacement wiring looms (complete loom) replacement ECU's, replacement cams on a lc with 7k on the clock. My first R9T broke down on holiday with an electrical problem with 9k on the clock so I traded it for a second R9T. It now has 9k on the clock and I have a different electrical problem that bmw can't identify. I hope to get this bike fixed but I swear, never ever will i buy another bmw. They can make the floor as shiney as they like but if parts are being sourced in China or wherever the labour is cheap then there is gonna be real expensive problems for customers that bikes are out of warranty. Buy Japanese.
Well, you all should have bought Japanese bikes then.
Those electrics and ECU's are probably where money is saved. Construction is probably by China where they put items in to collect your personal data, without BMW even knowing it.
Funny I say the same thing after years of working on cars. Buy Japanese
@@zioo3117 or, it's made with planning death so customer to buy new model. Just death comes too fast. :))
It's also interesting how many hours this people work, same work over and over again. This must be hell, so quality depends on that
I see why my BMW bike rides the way it does now. Incredible video built by Master Craftsmen thank you very much🤙
Amazing video. They obviously had special access to the factory. Animations are professionally done. It amazes me that they can afford so much automation for motorcycles made in such limited quantities (compared to cars). Think it's hard to build a production line for a motorcycle? They run eight different models down the same production line. If I got the 34 motorcycles every two hours right that means that each stage has 211 seconds to complete operations. U shaped lines are used so that more or fewer workers can work on the line (you can turn around to work on the second station (if necessary). Cellular manufacturing. This allows them to cope with changes in demand (as well as changing the 211 seconds per station (takt time)). Of course, there are separate sub-assembly lines as well as final assembly. 15:35 "The hose for the air box is secured with a kind of surgical clamp." Back in the '60's we used to call those "roach clips". While the video mostly covered manufacturing, they did touch on product development. Racing is a confirmation of the correctness of the design and the correctness of the manufacturing.
This is the coolest documentary I've never seen!
"competiton from the United States" Made me LMAO
Yep Harley are entering WSB next year with the new FatBoy
So funny
Are Harley's still made from recycled beer cans?
@@firebladex8586 Indian beer cans.
EBR 1190 were awesome bikes, just sayin.
8:49 THe 4 cylinder ONLINE engine... I wonder whet bandwidth it has.
und Konrad fits perfectly.
"INLINE"
Earlier on he spoke about fitting the conRADS.
The Gen 4s are still on dial up....zzzzz
I think they wanted to say Engine manufacturing Assembly Online like converbelt for moving engines.
Beauty video.
From start to finish.
The work ratio of human to the machine must me nuts.
Hands down best documentary I’ve ever seen!
Did you actually say that? Narration mispronunciation of common parts show how unfamiliar he and the producers are with mechanical basics.

A motorcycle has a rider, not a driver.
I want to know when BMW will return to its roots and heritage of aero-engine manufacturing.
You should have a series on all motorcycle factories! I would love to see Indian Motorcycle, Honda and Ducati!
The SS might be BMW's Superbike, but it was the GS and GS Adventure that saved BMM Motorrad and brought it to the forefront!!!!
Think that the germans do not use SS for their motorbike history wise, thats why RR...
@@SkateSpace2012 I see Germany despising their history. Good
The Lady you met Victoria she seems a beautiful warm person. Plus your cam manor at the check point with the soldiers well done it’s the only way to get through
Very impressed, Master craftsmanship is applied throughout the complete build processes. I salute the staff behind BMW.
Well, I hope like Hell they pass the diversity, affirmative action, and all round political correctness (that is US leftist dem's party) criteria necessary for acceptability.. Please let's make everyone happy, whether your tax dollars are at issue, or not..
As the proud owner of the 2019 RR and previously a 2017 R, this a special video. Getting to see the production of these amazing machines is so cool, thanks for the upload!
If I had a dollar for every time the narrator makes something standard in the industry sound like a big deal, I don't know, I guess I'd have abit of money.
Never realized what when into producing my RR. Well done video, thanks!
Amazing. Thank you.
i admire how Germans worked and also their knowledge in Engineering. Very precised and almost quality Engineering tools and machines were made in Germany.
Nice cars but pray to get 100k out of them without major expenses. Motos may be different.
Wow amazing and beautiful.
BMW.
Ha! No I know the people behind the happiness. Thank you WELT!
Very nice doc!
That old video insert was cool.
Awesome! 👍🏍️🏁
Pretty amazing video. I recently took delivery on my 8th BMW, a 2022 triple black 1250RT with sport alloy wheels. A work of art.😊
I have an old 2015, it's a perfect machine
I've have the 2019 S1000R, yes the re tuned engine with more sensible handle bars, love it. Heated grips, cruise, up/dien quick shifter, and popping standard Akra exhaust. It's a beast. The new 2021 gen looks tempting with tft display, and new engine. No other company picks and drops off your bike for any service.
I had a bike for 10 years, up until someone didn't see me and turned right infront of me, 3 seconds I had to react, just long enough to lock the breaks, bike didn't make it but Im still here. A few buldged vertebrae, and 3 months physical therapy and I consider myself very lucky considering all the times that I nearly wrecked.
A chain driven BMW motorcycle I never thought I would ever see such a thing! 🤠
Welcome in Germany
"The machine is now roadworthy but it still lacks the important fluids" so it's not roadworthy? Love the commentary on this doco
It’s translation errors here. Translating engineering German to English colloquialism is really difficult.
the quality of the bike shows I think the Japanese are starting to be this strict with their factory assembly too. I love all motorcycles!
Japanese bikes are far superior in quality and reliability already!
Thank you BMW COMPANY #1
Such an amazing documentary
I am sure the Japanese factories and KTM and Ducati are every bit as impressive.
no, not as rich company
Who is not as rich a company?
@@afenijmeijer9027 bmw is rich, so thats why they can make/afford a factory like this
@@bazilewillems4625 Shame their bikes don't match up then.
Loved it!
Loved the history of Freetown and the Cotton Tree!
great respect to the 1000 RR from BMW; truly legendary motorcycle; this documentary was fantastic people chill about the music...who cares? I've been very happy with my Rocket III Roadster from Triumph the fine folks at Hinckley, UK have outstanding Quality Control as does BMW
44:15 al probar las luces de los intermitentes se enciende la luz del intermitente derecho delantero y la luz del intermitente izquierdo trasero y viceversa : ))))
44:15 when testing the turn signal lights, the front right turn signal light and the left rear turn signal light turn on and the opposite : ))))
I saw a 1000s for the fist time in '09 Not too many people including myself knew it was in development. BMW just said bam! "Here, try mine".
I test rode one when I took in my K1300S for service (new tyres, oil). I hit 120mph/200kph while merging onto a motorway. It was effortless. That bike cannot obey speed limits. During my 30m test ride I learned 2(maybe 3) things:
1. HOLYFUCKINSHIT
&
2/3. I'd be under remand or the ground in a months time.
Incredible German engineering, the minds behind the robots and machines making the motorcycles ....let alone the bikes mind blowing, 👊
myth
Wiooowwe man i'm voiceless...
I ride a 2002 midnight 1600
What you did is Marveling that bike and it oufff
Did i ever enjoy watching this video.
BTW i'm an older rider now and it made my day.
I'm beginning to change things starting with them wheels.
A BIG Thank You
I’m working so hard so my first motorcycle can be a BMW!!
First bike? bad idea buddy, trust me im doing you a favor. you will drop it, possibly wreck it, and would feel too nervous your goona mess it up while learning your first year or two. save up yes, but save an extra 3k and get a used 400cc so start and learn.
@@DyingToLive12 In addition, don't laugh, putting in a bumnch of miles on bicycle can add tons of intuitive understanding. There is one giant difference though: the rider is heavier than the vehicle on bicycle, lighter on moto. Nonetheless, there's so much to learn from a bicycle. (Disclosure: I was a professional cyclist so there's where that bias comes from.)
As a BMW owner, I advise you to get a more sensible Japanese bike. You will not have a good owner experience with a BMW. They are overpriced and the quality is not up to par. You will undoubtedly spend too much for the bike, repairs and even insurance. Don't buy anything you cannot comfortably afford. If you are "working hard" to afford a BMW, you cannot afford it. You will not be able to maintain it properly due to the high cost of BMW parts, repairs and ownership.
BMW does not make any "entry level" models. Most BMWs are either too heavy or too powerful for a new rider. Everybody wants to buy their dream bike for their first bike. The people who buy too much bike for their experience level end up getting seriously hurt or killed. Start with a smaller, lighter bike and work your way to bigger and more powerful bikes as your skill level and experience allows. Once you have had a few different bikes, (and hopefully you are making a decent living by then) this would be a better time in your life to buy a BMW motorcycle.
Just like giving a car to a newly licensed driver, you are looking for trouble if you gave them an exotic car compared to a Honda Civic. As a driver becomes more experienced and mature, then it is a better idea to buy a supercar or sportscar.
Usually they tell you to quarantine and not leave your house unless you need to I have a gallon of orange juice brand new I will give it to you tomorrow you need plenty of vitamin C let me know if you need anything
Wow, just fantastic! Would love to ride one!
Victor van Dyke that’s what she said

World Biggest Motorbike Factory only 30 soccer field?? Come to Indonesia, we have Astra Honda Motor Factory 84 ha = 117 soccer fields, 5,3 million units per year
I have ridden one. What an amazing machine! I am always impressed by BMW quality. Hopefully, some day I have my own GS and become a BMW certified tech.
Bmw reliabilty is low actually
Quality of materials isn't what it used to be.
Fantástico!
Oh man, you can basically "eat off" the factory floor. Germans!
The Analog Kid you should look at the Ferrari Factory...or Ducati’s!
Wouldn't be the first time Germans have made people do that!
@@dardobartoli LOL THAT'S SADDDDD
all the crap is inside their engines
@@kymcokadaver1688 Why
Great job showing and telling, sure wished I payed for one when I was over there in 1978 in bam Bert. I think I spelled wrong, but great place over there. I remember almost every day of the things I did over there great people. Thanks again for showing well see ya next time see ya bye.
I love BMW rr....its my dream come true....
unreal: you get this absurd level of quality, detail, workmanship, performance for sub 20k...seems like a bargain
tbh for a price like that i'd buy japanese, much more reliable.
238 times per second? ... That's some serious speed!
You bet!
DOING GREAT WORK
My dad had one! Really fantastic bike crazy power
20:10 When they add some Berlin techno.
Take a drink every time you hear the words "Germany's only motorcycle plant"
*tip: Don't - You'll die
Leave the drinking to the Harley guys...let them take a sip every time they have to say "I f**ked up again." They will not see the end of the day.
I did it every time he said s1000rr... On my 5th beer already.

Tough to go back when you own a BMW!
This makes me wanna ride a RR. I’ve owned a k1600 GT and a couple of 1200 GS bikes. But I gotta ride one these now.
Dreaming of owning one of that beautiful bike 😍
I have also seen videos where MotoGP bikes like Yamaha M1 and Honda RC213V are made in the factory.
Amazing story!
The precision and accuracy of this motorcycle assembly is as efficient and precise as the governmental administration in Brazil. Signed by Carlos (Brazilian citizen)
Amazing video! Thank you!
Amazing stuff. Big fan of BMW bikes. Had great success with them over the last 20 years
These documentaries would be so much better if they wouldn't be so dramatic. It's just silly.
Matti Sillanpää I like sitting on the edge of my seat and anticipating if they’ll finish building the bike before the end the conveyor system. After all this is the only motorcycle plant in Germany, they can’t mess up!!!!!!
Awesome documentary!
Im already use ducati 1198s, 2009 zx10r, 2011 yzf r1, 2010 rsv4 and 2012 cbr1000rr. After test my friend 2016 s1krr, this bike best friendly handling ever. Smooth and fast! And most update eletronics bike. Thumbs up bmw👌
Impressive, can't wait till they become reliable so I can buy one !
Exactly😂😂
Dy - Na - Mo - Me -Ter. Wow.
Fantastic video and production!
BMW are several levels above anyone else
I'm in love
For the opposite, watch the Royal Enfield assembly video.
It's awesome in its own way.
Produced by Welt? Lotta wooden tools being used? Sticks for screwdrivers? Chassis being dragged around by cows? Stuff like that?
Amazing factory wow my dream’s bike 👍🇮🇷
Very interesting and I’m amazed how much technology is in that bike
“ .. how the front wheel loses speed when it is in the air ..’ WOW!
These pretzels are making me thirsty.
lol
Awesome channel!!
i love my 2015 s100rr! thank you for a great video!
BMW boss 20 years ago "we employ 5000 people" Today "We employ 2000 workers" 20 years from now we will employ only sales staff as our products are completely automated by machines"
I would love to work at an assembly plant putting anything motorized together.
I've worked on a few assembly lines. It's not that great, bud. Have you ever seen the movie, "Gung Ho"? You know the scene where the guys are eating, sleeping, and even urinating in a bottle, at/on the assembly line? Real life assembly lines are like that ALL THE TIME!
RakinBill , are you sure you want to do a repetitive task 8 hours a day, all week, month after month, year after year? It's not exactly fun. But it may be for you.
Brilliant. Mind-blowing. It appears that engine break-in is a pretty sketchy concept, considering that motors are tested at high RPMs.
A break-in period is not required for 4-stroke engines
I thought they said tested to 140 kmh. That is mid range revs on this bike.
Very thorough!
Nice to see birthplace of my bike ☺️
The birthplace of my 2 bikes (1977 R100RS & R100/7) no longer exists, but was probably somewhere on that patch of land. ☺️
39:09 the guy running to the second bike on the left eats shit just as he goes to get on lmao!
Fantastic bike!
I’ve been in the BMW motorcycle industry in a wide variety of positions, as a dealer, mechanic, service training instructor, and many others. I’ve also visited and toured the BMW assembly facility several times, and have visited factories of Honda, Kawasaki and Suzuki. I’ve witnessed the Quality controls in every factory. BMW’s is clearly superior.
3:38 ConRAD ... Never knew Conrad worked there lol.
4 Conrad’s lol
Built in two hours takes me longer to change my plugs , oil and filter .
Just changed mine, wish I had a boxer engine lol
this is why labor costs often total many cars
Nice BMW factory
keren proses produksinya .... walau mahal motornya
How many times are they going to reupload this?
Important to now since the new S1000RR is showing manufacturing issues. BMW pushed the bike out before it was ready
When he said that BMW faced stiff competition from Japan and the US, but never mentioned Italy, a country with Moto Guzzi, Ducati, Aprillia, MV Agusta and others, you already know they know very little about the MC world.
26:08 This explains why you can have differing performance from bike-to-bike regardless they’re the same exact year and model. I noticed this awhile back having bought the same bike & year 3 different times and also comparing top speeds with other riders who had the same.
