Review

⌄

The 1981 BMW 45 (reduced effect) offers a vintage riding experience with a 473cc engine producing 27 horsepower at 6500 RPM, achieving a top speed of 141 km/h. A five-speed gearbox provides a traditional feel, complemented by a single front disc brake for stopping power. Ergonomically, the BMW 45 is designed with a standard upright riding position suitable for various riding scenarios. The 22-liter fuel tank provides a good range for longer rides. The design is simple and utilitarian, reflecting the motorcycles of its time. Likely intended for regions with licensing restrictions or riders seeking a more manageable bike, this 'reduced effect' version offers lower power output. It appeals to riders who appreciate vintage motorcycles, seeking an easy-to-handle and reliable classic for leisurely rides and commutes.
