BMW motorcycles bring a lot of history and variety to life on two wheels, and if you’re looking for a BMW motorcycle to rent, Twisted Road has an extensive selection. When non-riders think of BMW motorcycles, they tend to think of classic styling, like the R75/5 toaster tank, or maybe the R71 with a sidecar used in Germany during WWII. But as riders know, BMW is a leader in adventure bikes with their 1200 GSA, their touring motorcycle, the K1600, a line of high-performance sportbikes, the S1000 RR, and most recently a versatile standard/classic motorcycle, the R Nine T. It’s this riding and engineering versatility that makes BMW such an impressive brand.
Many people ask themselves “where can I rent a BMW motorcycle?” and fortunately, Twisted Road has BMWs for rent in Los Angeles, Miami, Las Vegas, Chicago, and many other cities across the country.




BMW started manufacturing motorcycle motorcycles in 1921 for other companies, and the BMW Motorrad brand officially began in 1923. In this year, they launched the boxer twin engine, which is still being used in motorcycles today. The company has evolved into an engineering powerhouse with a breadth of motorcycles that is rarely matched by other companies. Their focus on engineering and performance - coupled with beautiful design and functionality - make BMW motorcycles one of the most desirable brands on the planet. Fortunately, Twisted Road has more than 250 BMW motorcycles for rent all across the United States.

The Heritage Classics are motorcycles that have extremely versatile performance and classic styling. These bikes are perfect for short urban weekend rides, or longer Sunday cruises.
There are two base motorcycle models in this category: the R18 and the R Nine T. The R18 is BMW’s cruiser. It comes naked, without any storage or a faring, or fully dressed with a tour pack and other luxuries. The R Nine T is a standard motorbike with an exceptional amount of customization options. For example, there’s the R Nine T Scrambler (which was ridden by Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 6), which has higher exhaust pipes and greater clearance for those who want to enjoy some off-road riding. Also, there’s the R Nine T Urban GS, which is perfect for city rides and shorter jaunts.
The BMW Motorrad name has become synonymous with their all-terrain, battleproof adventure motorcycles. In fact, Charlie Boorman and Ewan McGregor rode BMW 1150 GS adventure bikes when they rode from London to New York in The Long Way Round. These bikes often feature hard aluminum panniers, extremely high clearance, high fairings, and all sorts of other motorcycle accessories to protect this beast when riding through snow, gravel, mud, and streams.


When we see a BMW motorcycle with the letter R at the end of the name (like the S 1000 R) or a double R, (like the S 1000 RR), we are truly in for high performance. These letters all have meaning. The R is for Road, and the RR is for Road Race. The BMW engineers built these bikes for speed.
If you can’t handle the 190 mph top speed of the M 1000 RR, or accelerating from 0-80mph in under four seconds like the S 1000 RR, these motorcycles aren’t for you. However, if you enjoy seeing how the BMW engineers push the limits on two-wheeled performance, these supersport motorcycles are perfect.
The BMW touring motorcycles offer a smooth ride and a sense of luxury around every turn. From the K1600GT, and the K 1600 Grand America, to the R 1250 RT, you’re sure to find a motorcycle that meets your needs as you explore the open road.
