STURGIS, MS (Nov 15, 2021) - Bench Mark Works, a BMW Motorcycle vintage parts and service company today announced an agreement to sell its inventory and assets to MAX BMW Motorcycles in New Milford, CT.
Both Bench Mark Works and MAX BMW are known for their deep commitment to the care, maintenance and restoration of vintage BMW motorcycles and had worked together for many years prior to the sale.
According to Craig “Vech” Vechorik, founder of Bench Mark Works, “My entire career has been driven by my passion for keeping vintage BMW motorcycles running and I wanted Bench Mark Works to continue its legacy once I retired. Max Stratton and his team at MAX BMW share my passion for vintage BMWs and they are the ideal partner to assume our extensive inventory of hard-to-find parts and the Bench Mark Works name.”
The sale includes the Bench Mark Works extensive parts inventory, the Bench Mark Works name and website. While MAX BMW will incorporate the Bench Mark Works inventory into its own online parts catalog, it will also continue to maintain Bench Mark Works as a destination for pre-1970’s vintage parts and accept orders by phone and email.
“Vech is an absolute legend in the BMW world and truly one-of-a-kind as a keeper of the flame for the marque,” said Max Stratton, founder and owner of MAX BMW Motorcycles. “Over the years, MAX BMW has worked with Bench Mark Works to source hard-to-find and discontinued parts for some of our restoration projects and I have admired Vech’s encyclopedic knowledge and his love of sharing these bikes with others.”
In a message to customers, Vech commented “Max loves BMWs, especially old BMW's, and he and his organization were the logical people to take Bench Mark Works over. I am excited for Bench Mark Works to carry on with new blood.”
MAX BMW will begin fulfilling Bench Mark Works orders beginning November 15, 2021. Vech and his wife Elaine are looking forward to a retirement that includes more riding and enjoying their collection of vintage BMWs.
