BMW Vintage Motorbikes - R50 & R50\2

Filmed entirely on the Canon EOS 6D:

It's not often that you get the opportunity to do a fun weekend shoot with two vintage BMW motorcycles, classic cars and a 1947 aeroplane.

Being a big BMW Motorrad enthusiast, and owning a BMW bike myself, I always wanted to do a short video about BMW motorcycles -- but what batter way than to do it with classic BMW bikes.

Two of my friends each have a BMW R50. Heinrich Human owns a black 1963 BMW R50/2 and Dieter Meyer owns a white 1957 BMW R50 -- both beautiful bikes.

During the planning of the shoot, we looked back into the history of BMW, and we all know where BMW's roots lay....with aeroplanes, thus the BMW 'fan' logo. So we phoned up a local classic car enthusiast, and pilot, Dawie Wille and his son Colin Wille.
We decided to do the shoot in their hanger, next to a 1946 Piper Cub aeroplane, and a priceless 1958 BMW Isetta -- it was just getting better.

The result was an amazing weekend out with friends, some incredible shot of bikes and planes, and two beautiful old BMW bikes traveling on dirt roads like they did back in the days. Truly a celebration of BMW's motorcycle history, and the pure enjoyment of riding a motorcycle.

We hope you enjoy the clip, and hope that it might just spark a desire in getting a classic bike!
