5.0 out of 5 stars Great book. Incredible photos. A Must Have, March 19, 2009

This review is from: BMW GS: Adventure Motorcycle: A 30 Year Catalog (Hardcover)
Just got this book a few weeks ago. I'm an airhead owner and not that interested in the other material. On the airhead side alone there is an incredible amount of data, photos, press photos, cutaway drawings, and race photos. Some of the information was new to me despite the fact that I own a 1993 BMW R100GS.

The authors did a great job on putting all of this data into one place. This book will have a place on my coffee table for the next year and then will become a treasured member of my BMW motorcycle book collection.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference on the GS, April 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: BMW GS: Adventure Motorcycle: A 30 Year Catalog (Hardcover)
I've owned 10 BMW GS's over the last 16 years, and currently own one (I actually bought a GS a few years ago from the previous reviewer, never should have sold it). I'll probably always own one; every iteration of the GS has been the perfect all-around, do-everything motorcycle of its era. They last forever, and early models are steadily increasing in value. This book isn't cheap, but the production quality is excellent, with quality paper and full color on most pages. It covers every street model of the GS, both the traditional boxer twins and the more recent 650 singles and 800 parallel twin models, as well as BMW's extensive racing history with the GS (including several Paras-Dakar wins). If you're a GS (or BMW) fan, you've got to own the book. If you're considering picking one up, this is an excellent introduction (then join the forums at [...] and allocate a month or so to reading old posts..). Highly recommended.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: BMW GS: Adventure Motorcycle: A 30 Year Catalog (Hardcover)
Excellent book wonderful illustrations very detailed review of the BMW motorcycle hitory and genre. If you are a GS fan - which is what I am - I would have liked more on the GS but I have not found anyhting out there that comes as close or as well put together as this book.
