Who would call BMW "trend setting?" Even as motorcycles in general have become bigger, faster, more complex with more and more cylinders and valves and carburetors or even computer-controlled fuel injection, BMWs have come with the same basic engine layout since 1923—opposed Twin, two valves per cylinder, push-rods, two carburetors and a driveshaft to deliver power to the rear wheel.
