The Complete Book of BMW Motorcycles - Every Model Since 1923

A thorough year-by-year guide to every production machine ever built by Germany's leading motorcycle manufacturer. From the first model, the 1923 R32 that launched BMW's 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.

This comprehensive review covers all of BMW's bike families:
- The side-valve machines from the early years
- The early overhead-valve performance bikes
- The modern Airheads and Oilheads
- The four-cylinder and six-cylinder touring bikes
- The early pushrod singles
- The modern overhead-cam singles
- The latest parallel twins, and inline-four cylinder sport bikes.

Among them, you'll 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 café racer; the K1 "flying brick"; and the GS (Gelände Sport) series that launched a dual-sport revolution right up to today's world-class S100RR and retro-inspired R nine T.

Like the other titles in Motorbooks' Complete Book series, this guide to BMW's motorcycle output offers the most complete reference to the subject available.

The number of those who have already circumnavigated the world several times is innumerable, and the S 1000 RR immediately put the Japanese in the shade in their very own segment, the construction of super sports motorcycles. And then there is the new six-cylinder - material galore for countless good stories.

BMW-Motorräder - Die Jahrhundert-Story

It takes a great deal of design sensitivity to create a legend from two cylinders - and that's exactly what BMW, the German luxury manufacturer, managed to do. In the motorcycle manufacturing business since 1923, motorcycles were created that made history, especially in the years after 1945.
With its diverse product portfolio, BMW today stands more than ever for a unique success story with unit and sales figures that really only know one direction: steeply upwards.

BMW Motorrad - Die Marke, die Modelle, die Technik

Even before BMW appeared as a car manufacturer, the company began producing motorcycles in 1923. Even two world wars and the turbulence in between could not harm the brand.
The first model, the R 32, already had the style-defining two-cylinder boxer engine with cardan drive - a unique principle that can still be found in machines produced by BMW today.
With the R nineT, which BMW presented in 2013 to mark the 90th anniversary of the motorcycle division, the manufacturer has confidently brought its boxer engine into the present day and thus once again opened up new customer groups.
Experience almost 100 years of BMW history with unforgettable motorcycle classics in this unique volume!

In this comprehensive and lavishly illustrated book, which was created with official support from BMW, Zef Enault and Michael Levivier tell the fascinating story of the only German mass-produced motorcycle manufacturer.

• All brand highlights from the first BMW motorcycle to today: with all technical data and sorted chronologically

EMW und AWO - Die Viertaktmodelle der DDR (Schrader Typen Chronik)

In 1928, BMW took over the Eisenach Motorenwerke and also built motorcycles there. After the war, one of them, the R35, continued to be built there as the EMW until 1955.
The AWO 425, the second four-stroke motorcycle produced in the GDR, had been rolling off the production line in Suhl, Thuringia, since 1950, and production ended in 1960. After that, the State Council decided to stop the production of four-stroke motorcycles in the former GDR.

But the exotic four-stroke engines have not been forgotten in the two-stroke country of the GDR, as Frank Rönicke's volume proves with plenty of period color.
