Series:Biographical note:Ian Falloon has been involved with Ducati motorcycles for nearly 40 years. He has written several books covering the two-valve, belt-twin Desmodue models, having owned several examples, and through his role as a motorcycle journalist, he has attended press launches for many of the models covered in this book. A long standing, close association with the Ducati factory, and a personal association with many of its engineers, has provided Ian with an invaluable insight into the Desmodue development. He lives in Australia, with his wife Miriam, and two sons, Ben and Tim. Main description:Before the /5 series, BMW had a reputation for producing expensive and idiosyncratic touring motorcycles. But the /5 changed that. Although still expensive, the market was opened to a new world of riders, and during the 1970s the air-cooled boxer evolved into the ground-breaking R90S and R100RS. These were among the first motorcycles with factory-fitted fairings and they also offered class-leading performance. Even when BMW decided to discontinue the twins in favor of the new four-cylinder K-series in 1984, demand for the older boxers forced BMW to reconsider. The boxer was resurrected and continued for more than a decade. Review quote:"As with all in the series, this hardback is well laid out and makes good use of factory photos and line drawings slotted in with new photography ... if you are an owner or looking to become one it is a must-have, as it is for those like me that need a reliable reference work." – interbike.co.uk Review quote:"Anyone with a vague interest in BMWs is going to love this book, well laid out and excellent photography. Very comprehensive information provided and will appeal to current and potential BMW Boxer owners. Recommended." – motorbike-search-engine.co.uk Review quote:"For owners and would be owners, this is a fact-packed, year-by-year, change-by-change record of BMW's classic boxer twin motorcycles, an indispensable source book for all enthusiasts." – Rapid Bikes
