BMW Boxer Twins: 

Haynes Great Bikes Series 

by Ian Falloon 

For nearly 80 years, shaft-drive boxer 

twins have traditionally formed the 

backbone of the BMW motorcycle line-up. 

For many enthusiasts of the Bavarian 

marque the classic BMW twin was the 

R90S of 1973-76. Over the decades, 

successive generations of durable 

machines – including the R100S, fullyfaired 

R100RS, four-cylinder K-series, highperformance 

R1100RS, and an entire 

family of touring and sporting models 

ranging from 850 to 1200cc – would 

ensure the BMW boxer twins a place in 

the popular Haynes ‘Great Bikes’ Series.

The BMW Story 

Racing and production motorcycles 

from 1923 to the present day 


Max Friz’s R32 of 1923, the first BMW 

boxer twin motorcycle, set BMW on a 

path that would continue for the next 80 

years. Although the twin has 

predominated, some of the most popular 

BMW motorcycles have been singles and 

the K-series triples and fours. BMW has 

never been afraid of innovation, from the 

supercharger of the 1920s and 1930s, the 

telescopic then Earles fork, anti-lock 

brakes and Paralever swingarms. Here is 

the full story, covering classic machines 

such as the Kompressor, RS54, R69S, R90S, 

and R100RS, as well as the latest R1150 

and K1200.

Ducati Racers 

Racing models from 1950 to the 

present day 


Racing forms the lifeblood of the Ducati

Ducati 1098/1198 

by Marc Cook 

For Ducati, creating a replacement for the 

controversial 999 meant that the 1098 

was nothing less than a make-or-break 

motorcycle. According to Ducati Corse 

director Claudio Domenicali, “The bike’s 

only mission is to really excite the 

customer.” Author Marc Cook goes behind 

the scenes at Ducati for exclusive 

interviews with the 1098’s designers and 

engineers. Each tells his own story of the 

trials, tools, and technology used to 

create this revolutionary motorcycle as it 

evolved from the earliest design sketches 

to prototypes and test models. This 

evolution is revealed through hundreds of 

photographs that chronicle the bike’s 

development through final 

manufacturing.
