Motorcyclist: BMW Files comprises a collection of road tests of 1971 to 1995 BMW motorcycles from Motorcyclist magazine. Drooling over new machinery is an inherent part of being a motorcycle enthusiast, as is digging up information about bikes you own or are considering buying. In BMW Files, the road tests of some of the most significant BMWs of the past 35 years are put together in one volume. The articles are set in an attractive, readable style, with a smattering of photography along with the original riding impressions, technical data, and sidebars from the original magazines articles.

This review is from: Motorcyclist BMW Files: Selected Road Tests 1971-1995 (Paperback)
This compilation fills in the gaps left by the other guides. Here, several riders describe the machines and, thanks to all the detail, you can gradually piece together how the bikes perform, which bikes are too buzzy, too sporty, or too small. Much more convincing than the usual catalog with commentary.

This review is from: Motorcyclist BMW Files: Selected Road Tests 1971-1995 (Paperback)
I was looking forward to reading the different reviews of BMW motorcycles in this book as I would expect from articles in MotorCyclist magazines. However, I find that the reviews posted were very inconsistent. Pictures are only black and white. Specifications are not even given in most of the reviews, and a some of the reviews don't even have a single picture with it.
