Review
"Anyone with a vague interest in BMWs is going to love this book, well laid out and excellent photography. Very comprehensive information provided and will appeal to current and potential BMW Boxer owners. Recommended." - motorbike-search-engine.co.uk
Product Description
Before the /5 series, BMW had a reputation for producing expensive and idiosyncratic touring motorcycles. But the /5 changed that. Although still expensive, the market was opened to a new world of riders, and during the 1970s the air-cooled boxer evolved into the ground-breaking R90S and R100RS. These were amongst the first motorcycles with factory-fitted fairings and they also offered class-leading performance. Even when BMW decided to discontinue the twins in favour of the new four-cylinder K-series in 1984, demand for the older boxers forced BMW to reconsider. The boxer was resurrected and continued for more than a decade.

I recently bought another 1978 R80/7 after a long period away from airheads and enjoyed this read. A useful source of inspiration if you plan to restore an airhead not so much for the technical detail but for the background information. Plenty of photos and history to enjoy but this is not a substitute for a workshop manual. If you are reading this and are already a classic BMW enthusiast then you will in all likelyhood want to buy this to complete your ownership of your airhead.

This is a great digest of the Air Cooled BMW's; if you love them you will enjoy this book. I have one R65S and want an R100S; both are here and you can get good info on them all.

This book covers everything you need to know about the 2 valve twins. Once I started reading it I had a hard time putting it down. To any with an old BMW in the garage this book belongs in your library.
