16th annual BMW Motorrad Days, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, July 1 - 3 The annual celebration of all things BMW Motorrad, BMW Motorrad Days – the world’s biggest BMW Motorrad meeting – will be held at the base of the Hausberg mountain in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, southern Germany, from July 1st to 3rd 2016.
A packed programme will feature “lots of fun and something for every sports, touring and Enduro rider, for customising freaks and even visitors without a motorcycle license. During the day there is a packed motorcycle programme as well as the delightful beer garden for relaxing”.
In the evening live music and numerous parties will entertain visitors. Among the big names at the BMW Motorrad Days will be German actor Hannes Jaenicke, ice wheelie world record holder Robert Gull, Superbike rider Sabine Holbrook, the international GS Trophy winning team, as well as the international GS Trophy female team, comic artist Riccardo Burchielli and many more.
The Boxer Sprint will provide a great deal of live action where especially ambitious BMW Boxer motorcyclists drag-race over the traditional furlong distance (eighth of a mile). BMW 2 and 4-valve Boxers are eligible to enter and a jury selects a team of 16 racers from all applicants. The more outstanding the tuned or customised bike is, the higher the chances are of getting onto the starting grid.
Visitors can inspect all the unique custom bikes in detail in the Custom Village – accompanied by live Rockabilly music in the evening.
Visitors can also test-ride a wide selection of current BMW motorcycle models, and rides can include exploring the famous Zugspitze region around Garmisch, one of the most scenic regions in Germany, in full or half day tours as well as on panorama tours with local guides.
Those looking to experience off-road riding on their own BMW GS will be thrilled by the GS Try-Out Trophy 2016. Teams always set off together, the number of starting places is limited. The winner of the GS Try-Out Trophy will win an exclusive prize from BMW Motorrad.
Another exciting attraction also awaits slightly less ambitious Enduro enthusiasts: the offroad track at the base of the Hausberg, where experienced instructors show participants how much fun offroad riding can be. Under professional guidance, offroad enthusiasts can explore what a BMW Enduro is really capable of.
There will be a trade fair and exhibitor area, with up to 100 aftermarket parts and accessory and lifestyle exhibitors expected. Visitors can meet BMW Motorrad developers, engineers and test riders to get a close-up look into how BMW Motorrad developers work; on the Motorsport Track visitors can inspect the brand’s white and blue racing bikes and experience many BMW Motorrad motorsports riders live.
