BMW serie R: libros - historia y modelos (2/2)

The BMW Boxer Twins Bible - All air-cooled models 1970-1996 (except R45, R65, G/S & GS)

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.

BMW Boxer Twins (1969-1994) - All R45, R50, R60, R65, R75, R80, R90, R100, RS, RT & LS (Not GS) Models - Essential Buyer's Guide

There are lots of books about the classic BMW Boxers; their history, performance, lineage, and the minutiae of its specification. But none of them concentrate entirely on telling you what to look for when buying one secondhand.
That's what this book is about - it is a straightforward, practical guide to buying a used Boxer twin.
It doesn't list all the correct colour combinations for each year or analyse the bike's design philosophy - there are excellent books listed at the end of this one that do all of that - but it will help you avoid buying a dud.

Point by point, it takes the reader through everything that needs looking at when buying a Boxer, plus spares prices, which is the best model to buy for your needs, and a look at auctions, restorations and paperwork.
The last of the 'classic' air-cooled BMW Boxer twins, these bikes are now collector's items, and many have been saved, restored and continue to be ridden - this book tells the reader how to be part of the Boxer's ongoing story.

Covers all air-cooled BMW R45, R50, R60, R65, R75, R80, R90, R100, RS, RT & LS models from 1969 to 1994. Does not cover the GS models.

Soul Fuel - BMW R nineT Customizers

With the market launch of the BMW R nineT in 2013, the unique Soul Fuel project started in earnest. Over the course of the nascent cooperation, the first selected customizers received an R nineT by BMW Motorrad, which they were able to remodel and modify pursuant to their own vision.
To date, 17 customizers have created fascinating customizations of the R nineT through Soul Fuel. Five additional projects are to follow in 2018.

Introducing the bikes completed to date, the book Soul Fuel is an homage to the "customizing attitude" towards life. When we take a look into the workshops of the most innovative customizers, we can virtually smell and hear the welding equipment.
With full passion and dedication, customizers like Blitz Motorcycles, 46 Works, El Solitario, and others create exceptional interpretations of an exceptional machine.

As unique and customized as the machines it presents, "Soul Fuel" boasts incredible graphics, layout, and fascinating portraits of the customizers in one innovative, impressively-designed book.

BMW-Boxer - Die Zweiventil-Twins 1969-1996

Ende der 60er-Jahre glaubten nur noch ein paar Optimisten ans wirtschaftliche Überleben der Boxermaschinen von BMW. Ohne die gutgehenden Automobile der Münchner schienen sie nicht mehr zu retten zu sein.

Doch der Boxermotor war das Gesicht der weiss-blauen Zweiräder, und so kam es, dass BMW bis 1983 eisern am Boxer festhielt - heute haben diese Motorräder von damals Kultstatus erreicht - und zehn Jahre später eine neue Boxer-Generation ins Leben rief.

Ian Falloon erzählt in dieser BMW-Boxer-Bibel alles, was es über das Thema zu wissen gibt, und stellt sämtliche Modelle und Baureihen mit ihren technischen Eigenheiten vor.

BMW Zweiventiler - Motorräder 1969-1996 (Schrader Typen Chronik)

BMW hat auch schon vor der legendären Strich-Fünf-Modellen Boxermotoren gebaut - aber keine von solcher Güte: Motor, Fahrwerk, Leistung und Optik - hier stimmte alles, und mit dieser Motorengeneration gelang den Bajuwaren (die in Berlin ihre Motorräder produzierten) der Durchbruch.
Die /5er-BMW von 1969 änderten alles, BMW eroberte neue Kundengruppen; die luftgekühlten "Gummikühe" konnten auch sportlich, wie etwa die legendäre R 90 S oder die R 100 RS beweisen. Und selbst als die K-Motoren erschienen, gehörten die Boxer nicht zum alten Eisen.

Andy Schwietzer setzt in diesem Band der Erfolgsreihe den klassischen Boxern in Prospekten, Bildern und Fahrberichten ein Denkmal.
