Xmas pressie: BMW Motorcycles 100 years

One of the oldest European motorcycle manufacturers in continuous production, BMW turns 100 in 2023. The most comprehensive book on BMW motorcycles on the market, this beautifully illustrated tome covers the whole of the company’s history.

BMW’s long history of evolving technology is highlighted in this detailed story beginning with side-valve machines in the 1920s and early overhead-valve performance bikes, then moving to the postwar R-series Airhead and modern Oilhead twins, followed by four-cylinder and six-cylinder K-series touring bikes, the latest parallel twins, and inline four-cylinder sport bikes.

From the first R32 that launched BMW’s motorcycle dynasty, to the latest S1000RR superbike and R18 mega-cruiser, BMW Motorcycles captures a century of motorcycling excellence in a combination of historic and contemporary photos sourced from BMW’s archive.
