A native of Boston, Mass., Robb joined BMW as its design chief in 1993, and over the ensuing 18 years expanded the company’s product line to include the top selling R1200GS, the six-cylinder K1600GT and GTL, and the S1000RR superbike (that’s him on the far right in the picture above).
aking over as BMW’s new design chief is Edgar Heinrich, who served under Robb as BMW head of vehicle design motorcycles from 2007 to 2009. In his first go-around with BMW, Heinrich designed models such as the R1100RS, R1100RT, K1200S, K1200R, the HP sportbike and BMW’s Paris-Dakar race bikes. Heinrich was also part of Robb’s design team during development of the S1000RR.
