BMW GS - Die Erfolgsstory der Offroad-Legende
When a small, close-knit group of BMW engineers who were enthusiastic about off-road sports put together the first prototype that would become the original GS, the R 80 G/S model, at the end of the 1970s, no one could have imagined how incredibly successful the design of these extremely versatile motorcycles would become.
The R 80 G/S, introduced in 1980, is only the beginning of the long GS series and also marks the beginning of the new genre of large travel enduros. And although all the major manufacturers are now represented in this category, BMW has maintained its leading position to this day, currently with the R 1200 GS model and the "Adventure" offshoot.
The BMW GS has held a prominent position in the motorcycle world for more than 30 years now. It has convinced critics, won rallies, and become the first choice for globetrotters and those who would like to be one.
In this model monograph, specialist book author Phil West - one of the most respected British motorcycle journalists - guides the reader through the world of this two-wheeled icon and describes in detail the development, technology, model history and sporting use. With comprehensive technical details, contemporary witness reports and many previously unpublished photos, this book offers everything you need to know about the large R models with boxer engines.
