From the first model, the 1923 R32 that launched BMWs motorcycle dynasty, to the latest (and fastest) superbike, the S1000RR, this book captures nearly a century of motorcycling excellence in a combination of historic and contemporary photos. Technical specs are provided for each model.
Among them, youll find all the classic bikes—pre-World War II BMWs like the R5 that defined performance in that era; the military R12 that carried the Wehrmacht as it blitzkrieged its way across Europe; the Earles-forked R69S that offered the perfect platform for mounting a Steib sidecar; the R90S caf racer; the K1 flying brick; and the GS (Gel nde Sport) series that launched a dual-sport revolution right up to todays world-class S100RR and retro-inspired R nine T.
