1965 BMW makes safe motorcycles

Generous brakes provide sure, safe stopping. The Bosch headlight beam guides you safely through the night. All BMW models can be equipped with BMW electric turn signals. Noise and vibration are minimal. You won’t get tired. On a BMW you cruise safely at speeds which let you keep up with fast turnpike traffic. BMW’s road-holding qualities are superb. Rear springing is adjustable to take up the weight of the passenger and luggage. And, of course, no danger from worn-out drive chains or sprockets because all BMW’s have shaft drive. BMW makes a safe motorcycle. From here on it’s up to you.
