BMW has revved up the motorcycling community in America’s entertainment capital with the opening of BMW Motorcycles of Burbank, located at 2913 N. Ontario St. Under the leadership of Dealer Principals Mike and Aya Ungureanu, the exclusive BMW Motorrad retailer offers a complete line of new and pre-owned BMW motorcycles, parts, accessories, apparel and service capabilities in a completely new 12,000- square-foot retail facility and showroom.

“We are delighted that Mike and Aya are committed to providing a premium level of service to customers throughout the Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and San Fernando Valley areas,” said Michael Peyton, Vice President, BMW Motorrad North America. “They and their knowledgeable, friendly staff of motorcycle enthusiasts are well versed in the BMW brand and BMW motorcycle products. BMW Motorcycles of Burbank is a vital and welcome addition to our strong and growing dealer network.”

“BMW motorcycles have always been a central part of my life,” observed Mike Ungureanu, who has spent most of his 27-year career in the industry selling the brand at former dealerships in North Hollywood and Hollywood, where he served as general manager. I can’t imagine doing anything else!”

Mike’s insights into motorcycle riding preferences and trends were recognized by BMW in 2010, when he was one of four BMW dealer representatives selected to participate in initial launch strategy sessions for the BMW S 1000 RR superbike.

Now, thanks to support from BMW Motorrad and his family, Mike has a dealership that is exclusively BMW as well as his own. His mother, Rodica Smith, has provided financial support for the business, while his wife, Aya, serves as acting controller and accountant. The Ungureanu’s nine-year-old daughter, Keira, is also a frequent visitor and a budding member of the staff, which includes two BMW Master Technicians and an experienced service manager.

“We are committed to providing the best possible BMW Motorrad experience to the motorcycling community,” adds Mike. “Our success will be built on welcoming current customers to our new location and introducing new customers to the BMW brand. We are currently planning monthly events, including on- and off-road rides, as well as demo days throughout the upcoming year.”

At the finale of the inaugural SuperMotocross Playoffs, held at the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Team Honda HRC put an exclamation point on what was already an incredibly successful season, with Jett Lawrence taking home the first-ever SuperMotocross 450 Championship and earning the $1 million prize. The squad had already swept every professional AMA Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross title that had traditionally been available, with riders Chase Sexton, Jett Lawrence and Hunter Lawrence collecting the crowns in 450SX, 250SX East, 250SX West, 450MX and 250MX. For 2023 however, organizers added the three-round SuperMotocross Playoffs, which represented an opportunity for Honda's factory race team to accumulate even more laurels.
