  • BMW Group Classic Recalls the Triumph of 1976 and Presents Legendary Racing Machines As Well As Current New Models
    Corporate communication Media information 29. August 2016 40 years after winning the Production TT: Helmut Dähne does a lap of honour on the Isle of Man. The successful rider and his BMW R 90 S are reunited at the 2016 Classic TT – BMW Group Classic recalls the triumph of 1976 and presents legendary racing machines as well as current new models. Munich. After the Tourist Trophy (TT) races in June, the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea will once again be the centre of attention for motorcycle fans from all over the world up until 30 August 2016. The Classic TT not only celebrates recent victories but also the most spectacular accomplishments of the past. At this year’s meet-up of two wheel legends, BMW Group Classic particularly recalls the year 1976. This was when Helmut Dähne and Hans Otto Butenuth won the 1000 cubic centimetre class of the Production TT on a BMW R 90 S. Since then, Dähne and his teammate Butenuth – who passed away in 1997 – have belonged to the exclusive group of riders able to enter their names in the winners’ list of the oldest most demanding and also most hazardous motorcycle road race in the world. The now 71-year-old Dähne returns to the scene of his great triumph at the 2016 Classic TT. 40 years after his victory, he will once again ride his original BMW racer around the Isle of Man – this time by way of a lap of honour, not as fast as in 1976 but undoubtedly to the applause of thrilled spectators once again.
