BMW Motorrad - Die Marke, die Modelle, die Technik

Even before BMW appeared as a car manufacturer, the company began producing motorcycles in 1923. Even two world wars and the turbulence in between could not harm the brand.
The first model, the R 32, already had the style-defining two-cylinder boxer engine with cardan drive - a unique principle that can still be found in machines produced by BMW today.
With the R nineT, which BMW presented in 2013 to mark the 90th anniversary of the motorcycle division, the manufacturer has confidently brought its boxer engine into the present day and thus once again opened up new customer groups.
Experience almost 100 years of BMW history with unforgettable motorcycle classics in this unique volume!

In this comprehensive and lavishly illustrated book, which was created with official support from BMW, Zef Enault and Michael Levivier tell the fascinating story of the only German mass-produced motorcycle manufacturer.

• All brand highlights from the first BMW motorcycle to today: with all technical data and sorted chronologically
• Design, technology, lifestyle: what made BMW's vintage motorcycles so special
• Rare archive material: high-quality photographs, exciting texts and background information.

EMW und AWO - Die Viertaktmodelle der DDR (Schrader Typen Chronik)

In 1928, BMW took over the Eisenach Motorenwerke and also built motorcycles there. After the war, one of them, the R35, continued to be built there as the EMW until 1955.
The AWO 425, the second four-stroke motorcycle produced in the GDR, had been rolling off the production line in Suhl, Thuringia, since 1950, and production ended in 1960. After that, the State Council decided to stop the production of four-stroke motorcycles in the former GDR.

But the exotic four-stroke engines have not been forgotten in the two-stroke country of the GDR, as Frank Rönicke's volume proves with plenty of period color.
