No motorcycle manufacturer is more closely associated with one type
of engine than BMW: the air-cooled boxer twin or 'airhead'. It was
included in BMW's very first motorcycle in 1923 and virtually every
machine the company made, of every type, from radical road bike to
TT winner, to land speed record holder, to 1970s style icon and
even to the creation of an all-new adventure bike class with the R
80 G/S, right up to the mid-1990s. Phil West celebrates the success
of the BMW airhead twin motorcycles. This book, with over 290
photographs, includes a history of the company pre- and post-War;
the personalities behind the development of the bikes; profiles of
each of the 'R' bikes in turn, including detailed specification
guides and production numbers. These wonderful machines are
regularly celebrated and now BMW itself is harking back to them
with an all-new series of machines.
