Product description
On the occasion of the company’s centenary, this richly illustrated book in a luxury edition traces the extraordinary evolution of BMW motorcycles: from the birth of the iconic air-cooled R32 twin-cylinder boxer in 1923, through to the superlative S1000RR superbike which won so many victories , up to the futuristic fully electric two-wheelers and the retro-themed models created for the centenary.
Decade after decade, the book traces the profound transformation of the company from the cutting-edge but rather static pre-war road models to the award-winning and innovative post-war motorcycles, recognized as the best in the world in every class, with a nod to touring adventure and Superbike champions. The images, accompanied by a compelling text, describe the peculiarities and social dynamics underlying the evolution of the Bavarian company and 50 of its most iconic and beloved two-wheeled models.
