BMW Motorcycle

BMW Motorrad is the name given to the motorcycle business unit of the German company BMW, part of its Corporate and Brand Development division and its general director is Hendrik von Kuenheim. BMW Motorrad has produced motorcycles since 1923. Revenues for 2007 were €1,228 million.

The company began as an aircraft engine manufacturer in the early 20th century and through World War I. BMW manufactured its first motorcycle, the R32, in 1923. With the R32, BMW introduced the flat-twin boxer engine. BMW Motorrad still uses the flat-twin boxer engine configuration, but now manufactures motorcycles with a variety of engine configurations.

All BMW Motorrad's motorcycle production takes place at its plant in Berlin, Germany, although some engines are manufactured in Austria, China, and Taiwan.

BMW Motorrad produced 101,685 motorcycles in 2008, with the most popular model being the R1200GS. Current production includes a variety of shaft, chain, and belt driven models; engines from 450 cc to 1300 cc; and models designed for off-road, dual-purpose, sport, and touring activities.

In 2008, BMW introduced the DOHC Boxer HP2 Sport, and entered the serious off-road competition motorcycle market with the release of the BMW G450X motorcycle.

BMW Motorrad motorcycles are categorized into product families, and each family is assigned a different letter prefix. Current families are,

Current production

BUELL Motorcycle

The Buell Motorcycle Company is an American motorcycle manufacturer based in East Troy, Wisconsin and founded by ex-Harley-Davidson engineer Erik Buell. The company first partnered with Harley-Davidson in 1993, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harley by 2003. On November 17, 2006, Buell announced that it had produced and shipped its 100,000th motorcycle.

The first Buell motorcycle, the RW750, was built in 1983 purely for competing in the AMA Formula 1 motorcycle road racing championship. At that time, Erik Buell was a top contending privateer motorcycle racer. After completion of the first two RW750 racing machines, one of which was sold to another racing team, the Formula 1 series was cancelled. Buell then turned his focus towards racing-inspired, street-going machines using engines manufactured by Harley. In 1993, Harley-Davidson Incorporated joined in partnership with Buell Motor Company as a 49% stakeholding minority partner and the company formed was renamed "Buell Motorcycle Company". In 1998 Harley purchased majority control of Buell, and it has been a subsidiary ever since. Since then, Buell has used modified Harley-Davidson Sportster engines to power its motorcycles.

Most Buell motorcycles use four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engines, originally built from XR1000 Sportster engines. After these were depleted, a basic 1200 Sportster engine was used. In 1995, the engines were upgraded with Buell engineered high performance parts and further upgraded in 1998.

In 2003, Buell introduced an engine so efficient it passes emissions test requirements through 2008.[citation needed] It does this without the need for catalytic converters.

The new line of Buell XB models also incorporated the industry's first ever Zero Torsional Load (ZTL) perimeter floating front disc brake system, an "inside-out" wheel/brake design that puts the brake disc on the outer edge of the wheel, rather than at the hub. This design allows the elimination of significant mass from the front wheel, reducing unsprung weight, and enhances the abilities of the front suspension.

Other industry innovations introduced by Buell in the XB lineup were the "fuel in frame technology", and the dual use of the swingarm as an oil tank. Also, all Buell models feature a unique, dual-purpose, muffler mounted below the engine which helps keep mass centralized and maximizes torque through the use of a computer-controlled valve to switch between two exhaust paths as necessary.

Buell designs focus on providing good handling, comfortable riding, easy maintenance, and street-friendly real-world performance. Buell motorcycles are engineered with an emphasis on what they call the "Trilogy of Tech": mass centralization, low unsprung weight, and frame rigidity.

Buell engines are designed to be street-friendly both in fuel efficiency (up to 70 mpg with the Blast), and in power (the 1203 cc version produces over 100HP). They are also simple and easy to maintain. Buell two-cylinder engines utilize computer controlled ducted forced air cooling (no radiator or liquid coolant, just a variable speed fan that only activates as required), two valves per cylinder, a single throttle body, zero maintenance hydraulic valve actuation, and zero maintenance gear-driven cams.

BOSS HOSS
Boss Hoss is a motorcycle company, founded by Monte Warne in 1990 and based in Dyersburg, Tennessee. The company manufactures motorcycles and trikes equipped with General Motors V8 engines and semi-automatic transmissions. By the mid-1990s, Boss Hoss was selling 300 vehicles per year. As of some time in 2006, Boss Hoss has sold over 4000 vehicles.

Boss Hoss bikes and trikes are noted not only for their power and size, but for their low vibration, especially when compared to that of V-twin or single-cylinder motorcycles. The damping effect of the unusually great mass and relatively high number of engine cylinders combines with the very tall gears of the semi-automatic transmission to provide what is often described as "vibration free acceleration". This has led some dealers and riders to affectionately describe the Boss Hoss as a "big scooter".

Products
Boss Hoss currently offers motorcycles and trikes equipped with either a small block or big block V8 engine with a semi-automatic transmission with reverse. They also offer a number of accessories for their bikes and trikes.

Despite a car-sized 8.5-US-gallon (32 l) gas tank, the bikes only get motorcycle-like distance on a single tank, due to 25 mpg-US (0.094 L/km) maximum gas mileage for the small block and 18 mpg-US (0.13 L/km) maximum gas mileage for the big block. The trikes have an additional 3.5 US gallons (13 l) of reserve.

Engines
From the creation in 1990, the Boss Hoss bikes were all "kit" bikes meaning a frame and other equipment were shipped to the consumer from Boss Hoss. The consumer was then responsible for adding their own engine and additional touches that allowed them to customize the bike. In 1996 Boss Hoss started to manufacture the bikes from their own factory and headquarters located in Dyersburg, TN. From that point no more "kit" bikes were sold. The "kit bikes" were titled as BHC-2 bikes while the factory built bikes were titled as BHC-3 bikes. The titling difference made a large difference with insurance companies due to liability concerns.

In 1996 the Chevrolet ZZ4 350 cubic inch (5.7 liter) block was the standard issue engine in the bikes. The ZZ4 block is a crate motor designed and built by Chevrolet that creates 355 hp (265 kW) standard power to the crank at approximately 6000 rpm. The standard block is primarily made of cast iron while the heads are aluminum. A factory option for the bike also includes a GM "hot cam" which replaces the camshaft, pushrods, rocker arms, and springs in the heads for a new total power of 385 hp (287 kW). In 2000, Boss Hoss added the "Stud Hoss" to their line-up which includes a massive 502ci ([8.2 liter]) Chevrolet big block with 502 hp (374 kW) standard power. The Stud Hoss has been a very popular bike with bike owners.

In 1997 and 1998 models years Boss Hoss offered a 4.0 Chevrolet V6 engine in the bikes. They narrowed and shortened the frame for the conversion but sold very few bikes due to the popularity of the larger power engines.

The torque produced by these engines while at a stop is known for a more violent pull to the right when revved up quickly. The pull is not evident when the bike is in motion.

The engines have always been mounted longitudinally, with the crank pointed to the back of the bike. You would find the same configuration in nearly all traditional rear wheel drive V8 vehicles such as the Corvette, Pick-Ups, or Hot-Rods.

Fairly common engine-related modifications for a Boss Hoss are nitrous kits, blowers, turbos, fuel injection, and camshaft changes.
