For nearly 80 years, shaft-drive boxer twins have traditionally formed the backbone of the BMW motorcycle line-up. For many enthusiasts of the Bavarian marque the classic BMW twin was the R90S of 1973-76. Over the decades, successive generations of durable machines – including the R100S, fully-faired R100RS, four-cylinder K-series, high-performance R1100RS, and an entire family of touring and sporting models ranging from 850 to 1200cc – would ensure the BMW boxer twins a place in the popular Haynes ‘Great Bikes’ Series.• ‘a must for your bookshelf’ Bike Trader

Max Friz's R32 of 1923, the first BMW boxer twin motorcycle, set BMW on a path that would continue for the next 80 years. Although the twin has predominated, some of the most popular BMW motorcycles have been singles and the K-series triples and fours. BMW has never been afraid of innovation, from the supercharger of the 1920s and 1930s, the telescopic then Earles fork, anti-lock brakes and Paralever swingarms. Here is the full story, covering classic machines such as the Kompressor, RS54, R69S, R90S, and R100RS, as well as the latest R1150 and K1200.
