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 Airhead Twins - The Complete Story

No motorcycle manufacturer is more closely associated with one type of engine than BMW: the air-cooled boxer twin or 'airhead'. It was included in BMW's very first motorcycle in 1923 and virtually every machine the company made, of every type, from radical road bike to TT winner, to land speed record holder, to 1970s style icon and even to the creation of an all-new adventure bike class with the R 80 G/S, right up to the mid-1990s.

Phil West celebrates the success of the BMW airhead twin motorcycles. This book, with over 290 photographs, includes a history of the company pre- and post-War; the personalities behind the development of the bikes; profiles of each of the 'R' bikes in turn, including detailed specification guides and production numbers.
These wonderful machines are regularly celebrated and now BMW itself is harking back to them with an all-new series of machines.

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 - 100 Jahre Faszination (Band 1) - 1920: der erste Motor / Die Gründerjahre: von der R 32 1923 zur R 75 1941

Half a liter of displacement and 6.5 hp: In December 1920, BMW's first boxer engine went into series production, initially as a built-in engine for Victoria and Helios motorcycles. Just in time for the "100 Years of the BMW Boxer Engine" anniversary, this book is a tribute to the founding years of the Bavarian motorcycle manufacturer, which presented its first complete motorcycle in 1923, the ingenious and epoch-making R 32 with a transverse boxer engine and shaft drive to the rear wheel.

On 176 pages, with informative texts and 380 contemporary photographs exclusively released by the Historical BMW Archive, author Hans-Jürgen Schneider documents the models of the first era up to 1944, type by type, from the tourer R 32 and the sporty R 37 or R 57 to the pressed steel models R 11 to R 16 to the style icon R 5 and the fully suspended models R 51 to R 17. The 19 models described are also shown in motorsport and in sidecar operation.

BMW's dealings with the Wehrmacht or police are not left out: 36 000 units of the 750 R 12 (mostly as sidecars) were delivered, mainly to government clients, and 18 000 units of the heavy 750 R 75 sidecar, specially designed for wartime use, rolled off the production lines.

Complete technical data, chassis numbers and an extensive register of names, places and institutions round off the work.

The BMW "two-valve" boxer motorcycles are presented here in more detail than ever before. This series debuted at the end of 1969 with the /5 models. A long success story began and ended with the R 80 GS Basic in 1996 after more than a quarter of a million motorcycles were built.
This first volume presents all models with two spring struts. These are the machines from the /5, /6 and /7 series. There are also the R 45, R 65, R 65 LS models and finally the R 80 RT, R 100 CS, R 100 T, R 100 RT and R 100 RS, which were built until 1985.

Not only are all series models and never-before-seen prototypes described in detail, the fathers of these machines also have their say. All frame and engine numbers, visible and invisible changes to details, numbers built, tips on buying used, identifying and restoring these machines that have become classics complement this volume.

BMW-Boxer - Die Zweiventil-Twins 1969-1996

At the end of the 1960s, only a few optimists still believed that BMW's boxer bikes would survive economically. Without the Munich-based company's successful automobiles, they seemed beyond saving.

But the boxer engine was the face of the white and blue two-wheelers, and so BMW stuck to the boxer until 1983 - today these motorcycles from back then have achieved cult status - and ten years later launched a new boxer generation.

In this BMW boxer bible, Ian Falloon tells everything there is to know about the subject and presents all the models and series with their technical peculiarities.

BMW Boxer - 100 Jahre Faszination (Band 2) - Die Nachkriegszeit: von der R 51/2 1950 bis zur R 69 S 1969

Passion, German engineering and major setbacks have shaped BMW's motorcycle history. After the Second World War, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, but kept itself afloat with cooking pots and bicycles made from aircraft engine waste. It was not until 1948 that BMW was able to celebrate a revival as a motorcycle brand and found new courage with the R 24.

The second volume of the Boxer saga takes a look at the brand's history from 1945 to 1969. From the creation of the first post-war Boxer R 51/2 to the legendary motorcycles of the R 69 S series: knowledgeable texts and exclusive images from BMW's development department give a glimpse behind the scenes.

• Descriptions and background information on BMW boxer models from 1950 to 1969
• Numerous valuable vintage motorcycles in collectors' hands and on trips on Germany's roads
• Insights into the difficulties of motorcycle production in post-war Germany
• Approx. 380 historical photos and drawings from the BMW archives
• Detailed appendix with technical data and chassis numbers

BMW Boxer - 100 Jahre Faszination (Band 3): Die Renaissance - Modelle mit Zweiarmschwinge 1969 bis 1985

Eind jaren zestig en begin jaren zeventig kende de motorindustrie wereldwijd een opleving. Motorfietsen werden voor jongeren symbolen van plezier, sport en avontuur.
BMW reageerde vroeg en introduceerde in 1969 de nieuw ontwikkelde R 75/5 met een tweecilinder boxermotor en twee parallelle modellen. Deze motoren pasten bij de moderne levensstijl en behaalden direct hoge verkoopcijfers, waarmee BMW's motorafdeling werd gered.

De groeiende vraag naar grotere motoren leidde in de jaren zeventig tot legendarische modellen zoals de designicoon R 90 S, de eerste volledig gestroomlijnde sport-toermotor R 100 RS en de langeafstand-boxer R 100 RT. 600- en 750-modellen werden vervangen door 800-versies zoals de R 80/7 en R 80 RT.
In 1978 breidde BMW het aanbod uit met de R45 en R65 voor rijders die een kleinere motor verkozen.

Alle boxermodellen uit deze periode hadden de karakteristieke lange achterbrug met twee schokdempers, die de selectie van modellen in dit boek bepaalt.
