The Club
The Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners Club is so much more than just a subscription. In addition to the brand new Classic BMW Motorräder Magazine, you get full access to our website, forums and the ability to create your online bike photo galleries.
There's a ton of information available in the forums, and you can buy and sell to other members, assuring you won't get spam or be contacted by scammers, with the free classifieds in the members-only section.
The club also provides you with international representation at the BMW Council of International Clubs. BMW recognizes that the VBMWMO is the largest vintage motorcycle club in the BMW world, rivaling the size of the biggest vintage car clubs.
