BMW Airhead Twins

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.

BMW Airhead Twins, with over 290 photographs, includes a history of the company pre- and post-War, and the personalities behind the development of the bikes. Profiles of each of the 'R' bikes in turn includie detailed specification guides and production numbers. An epilogue that looks to the future of the airhead twins completes the book.

A fost inclusa in prima motocicleta BMW din 1923 si practic in fiecare masina pe care a fabricat-o compania, de orice tip, de la bicicleta rutiera radicala pana la castigatoarea TT, pana la detinatorul recordului de viteza pe teren, la pictograma stilului anilor 1970 si chiar la crearea unui nou clasa de biciclete de aventura cu R 80 G / S, pana la jumatatea anului 1990. BMW Airhead Twins, cu peste 290 de fotografii, include o istorie a companiei inainte si dupa razboi si personalitatile din spatele dezvoltarii bicicletelor .
