Remember this is not a history book! The photos are excellent in terms of clarity and detail. The accompanying text is useful in terms of information concerning each model included in the book and also in terms of the development of BMW as a company (for those who are not already members of the BMW Appreciation Society). Given that the book only covers the models within one person’s private collection (albeit one heck of a collection!) it should not be bought on the basis of thinking it represents a definitive history of BMW motorcycles – buy it, dip into it when the fancy takes you, skip the models that you may not personally find interesting, and enjoy it for what it is.
Well written and beautifully produced If you are a BMW Motorrad owner or enthusiast then this lovely book should be on your coffee table. Beautifully illustrated and with detailed text and historical background, the only disappointment was that some models of particular historical note are missed out.
