10 Most Sold Motorcycle Brands In The World

5. BMW

German motorcycle industry pioneer since 1923 – five years before the Munich-based manufacturer built its first car. Even after almost a century has passed, BMW continues to provide a full selection of motorcycles powered by its original 180-degree twin boxer engine architecture, called a boxer because the flat twin’s horizontally opposed pistons move in tandem from the crankshaft like a boxer warming up).

Along with the GSs, superb sport-touring RTs and R-model roadsters are also powered by boxers, and a brand-new 2021 R18 cruiser is outfitted with BMW’s biggest boxer twin ever—a pair of 901 cc cylinders that add up to 1802 cc, making it one of the top luxury motorcycle brands.
