BMW has always been a constant presence in the German two-wheel market as they have across the world, but in recent years the Bavarian company has further evolved into a position of undoubted world leadership.
This book recounts the long history of BMW’s motorcycles model-by-model, a story that began in 1923 and extends right through to their latest bike to appear in the autumn of 2010 with the advent of the K 1600 GT. As well as the various models there are portraits in words and pictures of the people who made the German marque great, now more than ever involved in racing with its return to the World Superbike Championship and its initial successes by Ayrton Badovini in the FIM Cup Superstock 1000.
