BMW Twins: The Complete Story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bmw Twins: The Complete Story (Crowood Autoclassics) (Hardcover)
In agreement with the previous reviewer, but will keep the book. Is very poorly done with little real information. The good info is in Clymer's BMW R Series 1970-1994. I see that Mick Walker is putting out books right-and-left. He is obviously just in this for as many bucks as he can make in short order, as there is no thought or organization to this and his other BMW restoration guide. Both were just slapped together and the result is very thin in content with everything scattered about within the chapters. Guess Mick is looking for an early retirement.

More overview than useful restoration information,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bmw Twins: The Complete Story (Crowood Autoclassics) (Hardcover)
I am in the process of restoring several pre 1970 BMW twins. I was disappointed in the very general content of this book and found it to be mostly a cut and paste of readily available information from other repair manuals. There is very little useful infromation on the early twins (55-69). I would highly suggest Slabon's book, (55-69 BMW Twins Restoration) as an alternative. I was very pleased by the 'no strings' Amazon.com return policy when I asked to return this book.

Must have!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bmw Twins: The Complete Story (Crowood Autoclassics) (Hardcover)
If you are interested in BMW Twins this book is great. Most of the information is about the history of the motor cycles introduced in 1923.Many photos are used to show what Twins have looked like over the years.
