This book covers the entire history of BMW motorcycle production, from the original R32 of 1932, through the war years, and into the twenty-first century. Particular attention is given to the ground-breaking motorcycles BMW produced in the 1970s such as the R90S and the R100RS (the first mass-produced motorcycle to come equipped with a full frame-mounted fairing), as well as the innovative and popular bikes BMW offers today such as the exotic R1200C cruiser and the K1200LT luxury tourer that proved so popular it sent Honda back to the drawing board to recreate its mighty Gold Wing.

History of BMW motorcycles It is a good book full of excellent quality photographs that match the text making the review of the evolution of BMW motorcyles clear and enjoyable to read. Great book to have for those BMW motorad fans! Next edition should include the description of the newest models.
Fun Story This is a fantastic book. The photography is some of the best I have seen, and the author takes what could be a stodgy story and makes it come alive. Very entertaining!
Great book I would recommend this book to any BMW motorcycle enthusiast. Good photography and an excellent read, full of interresting information.
Good BMW resource I'm a big fan of these bikes, and there's no better history and no more entertaining of a book than this one. Holmstrom tells a "warts and all" story and Nelson glitzes it up with excellent photos. It's the kind of book you want to put out on the coffee table when you invite the fellas over for tea and monkey-wrenching in the garage...fun stuff.
