Melandri and Haslam take part in 2012 BMW Motorrad Days

The 12th edition of the BMW Motorrad Days took place recently at Munich and the famous Bavarian ski resort Garmisch-Partenkirchen, an event that attracted 35,000 visitors from every corner of the world who made their way to the world's biggest meet for BMW Motorrad and Husqvarna Motorcycles.


The two factory BMW Motorrad Motorsport riders Marco Melandri and Leon Haslam, who have played a major part in establishing the recent success of the S 1000 RR machine, were both present at the event, which was made up of three days of shows, parades, exhibitions, bike launches and road tests.


As well as the racing version of the BMW S 1000 RR fans of street racing had plenty else to admire at BMW Motorrad Motorsport. World-class champions such as three-time Superbike season winner Marco Melandri and Leon Haslam were on hand to sign autographs on a race-free weekend.


Melandri, making his first appearance together with his fiancée Manuela, said: "It is great to see so many people from all over the world sharing their love of motorcycles and BMW."
