BMW Motorcycles is the comprehensive guide to every production machine ever built by Germany's leading motorcycle manufacturer. All classic and modern motorcycles are collected here - from the R32, through the legendary R5 and the military R12 carried by the Wehrmacht, to the R69S, which provided the perfect platform for mounting a Steib sidecar, and on to the R90S café racer, the angular K1 and the GS (Gelände Sport) series, right up to the current Sport, Touring, Roadster, Heritage and Adventure machines.
All BMW build families are covered - the side valve machines from the early years, the early overhead valves, the post-war airheads and oilheads, the four and six-cylinder touring bikes, the early pushrod singles, the modern overhead cam singles, the latest parallel twins and the in-line four-cylinder sports bikes.
From the first model, the R32, which founded BMW's motorcycle dynasty, through to the 2020 model year, BMW Motorcycles captures almost a century of motorcycle engineering excellence with a superb combination of historic and contemporary photographs. This book includes many previously unpublished images by Ian Falloon. Full technical specifications for each model make this book a must for any serious BMW enthusiast.
Ian Falloon is a living legend among motorcycle journalists. He has written more than 40 books on the major motorcycle brands - Ducati, BMW, Moto Guzzi, Triumph and others. He is also an expert in the authentication of historic motorcycles. Ian Falloon lives near Melbourne, Australia.
