MUNICH, GERMANY -- BMW Motorrad starts its sales activities on the Indian motorcycle market with two official importers as of December.

With 'Deutsche Motoren' in Delhi in the north of India and 'Navnit Motors' in Mumbai on the west coast and Bangalore in the southern part of the country, BMW Motorrad is relying on two experienced BMW Group partners. With these three sales outlets the German motorcycle manufacturer is represented in the strategically important regions.

"The BMW Group has already established itself very successfully in India with a local BMW automobile production and a sales network for BMW Group automobiles," said Hendrik von Kuenheim, General Director BMW Motorrad. "Now the market for premium motorcycles is beginning to develop, too.

"The sales activities now commencing with our two experienced BMW Group partners are of long-term significance to BMW Motorrad. We are confident our motorcycles will swiftly become established in timely preparation for the growing market."

The motorcycles will be produced at the BMW Motorrad plant in Berlin and supplied to India as CBU (completely built up) units.

BMW Motorrad will initially offer the current models of the R and K series as well as the superbike S1000RR.
