With his positive attitude and encyclopedic knowledge of motorcycles (as well as many other topics), it’s no surprise that TV personality “Kuya Kim” Atienza has once again been chosen as a BMW Motorrad and Petron ambassador.

An avid rider with an impressive collection of motorcycles in his garage, Atienza just recently signed a two-year contract to represent the prestigious motorcycle and fuel brands.

For the next two years, he will be riding the BMW R18 B in Option 719 trim, a cruiser that represents the pinnacle of the Heritage lineup.

If you see him touring the Philippines on this cruiser, don’t be shy to give him a friendly wave or even chat him up during a roadside break. He’ll be only too happy to talk motorbikes with a fellow enthusiast.
