Brasil & Movimento S.A. or B&M was a Brazilian company that manufactures motorcycles and bicycles since 2000.[1] It sells its products under the Sundown Motors trademark. Wholly Brazilian owned, it employs over 1,000 people and has 54,000 square metres of area over two separate factories. B&M is an ISO 9001/2000 quality standard certification holder.

The company is growing and in 2002 started producing cheaper, small-engined motorcycles. In less than three years in this market, it has become the third-highest selling brand in Brazil, with 10 models ranging from 90 cc to 250 cc engines.

In China, Brasil & Movimento had a development office where it worked in partnership with two major partners, Qingq and Zongshen.[2]

In mid-2011, due to financial problems among investors, and the Brazilian economic crisis, the factory went bankrupt.[3]
