Technical specs are provided for each model. This comprehensive review covers all of BMW's bike families:
The side-valve machines from the early years
The early overhead-valve performance bikes
The modern Airheads and Oilheads
The four-cylinder and six-cylinder touring bikes
The early pushrod singles
The modern overhead-cam singles
The latest parallel twins, and inline-four cylinder sport bikes
Among them, you'll find all the classic bikes--pre-World War II BMWs like the R5 that defined performance in that era; the military R12 that carried the Wehrmacht as it blitzkrieged its way across Europe; the Earles-forked R69S that offered the perfect platform for mounting a Steib sidecar; the R90S caf racer; the K1 "flying brick"; and the GS (Gel nde Sport) series that launched a dual-sport revolution right up to today's world-class S100RR and retro-inspired R nine T. Like the other titles in Motorbooks' Complete Book series, this guide to BMW's motorcycle output offers the most complete reference to the subject available.

The Complete Book of Moto Guzzi collects all of these iconic motorcycles in a visual encyclopedia for a compendium unlike anything the motorcycle world has seen before.
Holding the distinction of being the oldest European motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, Italy's Moto Guzzi has built some of the most iconic motorcycles ever produced. Established in 1921, the company is one of the most traditional motorcycle makers, and also one of the most innovative. Today Moto Guzzi has a higher profile than ever, thanks to its popularity among celebrities like Ewan McGregor.
Moto Guzzi was formed by Carlo Guzzi, Giovanni Ravelli, and Giorgio Parodi after WW I. Carlo Guzzi's first engine design, a horizontal single, defined Moto Guzzi's road-going motorcycles for the company's first 45 years. In the 1950s, Moto Guzzi experienced tremendous success in Grand Prix motorcycle racing.
Moto Guzzi has experienced low points as well as high points. In February 1967, a state controlled receiver took ownership of Moto Guzzi. It was while in receivership that Guzzi developed the 90-degree V twin engine that came to define Moto Guzzi. De Tomaso Industries Inc. purchased Moto Guzzi in 1973. In 2000 Aprilia S.p.A acquired Moto Guzzi. In 2004, Piaggio & C. S.p.A acquired Aprilia. With the financial backing of a large corporation like Piaggio, Moto Guzzi was once again on firm financial footing, and sales have been on the rise.
For the first time ever, The Complete Book of Moto Guzzi: Every Model Since 1921 collects all of these iconic motorcycle in encyclopedia form, written by widely respected Moto Guzzi expert Ian Falloon.

Описание: Triumph Bonneville: 60 Years is a celebration and compendium of all the makes, models, and one-offs of the Triumph Bonneville motorcycle over the past several decades.
First manufactured in Great Britain in 1959, Triumph's iconic model resonates deeply with motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide who loved its style, sound, performance, and undeniable coolness. It's not coincidental that Triumph was Steve McQueen's favorite ride.
The Bonneville's story is one of successes and tragedies as Triumph grew steadily in the post-war decades to become America's most successful "import" motorcycle marque. Triumph won every championship worth winning, owned the world speed record for fifteen years, and wooed Hollywood's hottest stars.
Bonneville was its halo machine, one of the highest performance motorcycles of the 1960s. As competing models and marques eventually eclipsed the Bonneville, Triumph management struggled in the 1970s and led the company to bankruptcy and the demise of the company in 1983.
Triumph was resurrected by British industrialist John Bloor in the late 1990s, becoming a 21st-century global success story including a revived and thoroughly retro-contemporary Bonneville range.

Описание:
Enter Jason Falloon's spectacular Dreamerverse for the first time in his dystopian fantasy epic, Constellation Planet - the opening episode of the Dreamerverse saga.
Two contradicting dimensions must never cross paths, a mysterious entity hopes to accomplish just that, and three Dreamers have been selected at random to extinguish the chaos. Their success can only be achieved by procuring a rare, almighty resource. In a distraught near-future, such a powerful mineral is envied by all humanity, who have endured the wars and shortcomings of a redundant and crippling existence. This broken reality is the world these reluctant heroes left behind, and their greatest trial of all may be overcoming its influences...
Drifting to sleep one night, Oscar, Samuella and Camson materialise on Constellation Planet - a paradisiacal nirvana in the Dreamerverse, collectively piloted by their own versatile imaginations. On awakening there, the unlikely trio establish that they've been enlisted as Night Dreamers by the Stellar Gods, the unseen authority of this spectacular dimension. As Night Dreamers, they have been ordained with the responsibility of dealing with the Drag-in, an inter-dimensional nightmare that re-emerges once every generation to devour the mental void separating the Dreamerverse from reality.
Back home, their real world (Mankind's World, 2058) encapsulates a despondent humanity, torn by many years of resource wars between East and West. It is a civilisation that has long since succumbed to an advanced digital age and is divided into eight sovereignly independent Nations. For decades, these territories have been presided over by vain dictators who yearn for the capitulation of their foreign neighbours and under whom their antisocial citizens are subdued by persecution from the cruel A.I. law force. But now a strange and unprecedented political alliance is in motion between two enemy tyrants and their prospects for power may be the final straw for co-existence.
Will the Night Dreamers live up to their duty and defeat the Drag-in for another generation? And how much will the repercussions of their quest affect reality? But, most importantly of all, why have they been chosen and what mysterious force has brought all three of them together?
Constellation Planet is the first installment of the Dreamerverse Series and the debut novel from Jason Falloon.High-stakes and visually absorbing from start to finish, Constellation Planet marks the beginning of a fascinating journey into an alternative reality. The first breath-taking entry in the Dreamerverse Series explores the frightening potential of humanity's furthest political extremes, where social beliefs are shaken, old and new philosophies are challenged, and the edge of civility is met by even the most rational of characters. This thrilling introduction to the unpredictable Mankind's World highlights a riveting conflict - both physical and metaphysical - that paints a speculative microcosm for the sociopolitical battle between contemporary liberalism and traditionalism.
