BMW

Sinopse

The Illustrated Motorcycle Legends

BMW is one of the few firms who build both cars and motorcycles, the two vehicle types offering their owners a similar combination of style, performance and capability on the road. Whether on two wheels or four, this translates into swift, sure progress that eats the miles up without tiring the driver or rider.
BMW were unique in keeping to a single concept for their motorcycles for 60 years. Sure, there were improvements, many in the vanguard of progress, but the basis of the first, real motorcycle of 1923 was still there in 1983 and runs on to today. When they did change by adding line two, it was equally individual, even if it did become known as the ‘flying brick’.
The 1990s saw BMW once again push the frontiers out, using their age-old concept in a totally new package – as they did more than once in the past.
Their story of conservative progress linked to radical design is here in words and many pictures in colour enhancing the tale.
