The International Six Day Trial (ISDT) was a week-long trial race that started back in 1913 . Factory teams participated on gruelling courses thorough the mountains and mud of Europe to test the performance and reliability of the various marquees- with strict rules on servicing/repairing during the competition.

Came across some photos of two of BMW’s 600 cc factory bikes from 1953, and they’re just too beautiful to not share.
