BMW K Series - The Complete Story

While BMW motorcycles are best known for their R-series shaft-drive boxer twins, the liquid-cooled K-series 'multis' have been the brand's most advanced and unconventional machines.

Introduced in 1983, the K-series brought BMW into a new era, featuring some of the world's most innovative motorcycles. From the original liquid-cooled, fuel-injected K100 to the aerodynamic K1 of the 1980s, the powerful K1200RS and futuristic K1200LT of the 1990s, and the Duolever K1200S and six-cylinder K1600 of the 2000s and beyond, these bikes have combined radical design with pioneering technology, shaping modern motorcycling.

BMW expert Phil West, author of "BMW Airhead Twins" and "BMW GS", has thoroughly researched the K-series' history, uncovering previously unpublished photographs. This book presents the complete story of the K-series in a detailed and engaging account.
