 un libro indispensabile March 16, 2010
Nicolucci Alberto
Per chi cura i restauri o per chi, come me, e' appassionato di meccanica ed ama sporcarsi le mani, questo e' un libro indispensabile per i modelli descritti. E' inoltre un'utile fonte di informazioni per chi viaggia ed ha bisogno di intervenire estemporaneamente per risolvere i problemi che si dovesero presentare durante il percorso. Insomma anche se non conoscete perfettamente l'inglese, come me, potete star sicuri che la semplicita' di esposizione, gli schemi e le foto vi faranno comprendere tutti gli argomenti trattati.
Moltoi consigliato.
 Clymer Manual Review March 4, 2010
MultiplexMan (Sydney, Australia)
I have a BMW R65LS. I needed a manual for self-service & maintenance of my motorcycle in a home garage (non commercial setting).
This is a large manual - 793 pages. I found the superb detail in the chapters extremely helpful. There are lots of good, clear diagrams supported with excellent photographs. Instructions are comprehensive and easy to follow. There is model specific information for working on the R65LS - which was my main intent.
This manual with a parts catalogue is all the information you would need to keep your BMW motocycle on the road.
I also use the BMW factory and the Haynes manuals. The Clymer typically has larger illustrations and photographs. Sections are laid out over more pages making it easier to follow.
I highly recommend this manual.
Great info for my older BMW motorcycle January 19, 2010

I own an older BMW GS Airhead. I do all my maintenance and work, and this book has helped me do it! It is a must own if you own an Airhead.
 Ok but not great September 12, 2009

The manual is complete and includes general information about the work to be performed but is often lacking in step by step specifics that would be helpful. In addition, the fact that so many different models are covered in one text can lead to some confusion.
 DON'T BUY THIS BOOK June 19, 2009
Carl H. Patten (Panama City Beach, FL)
I have over a decade of experience of working on motorcycles, snowmobiles, & ATVs. I bought a 1975 Beemer as a project because I have never worked on one, plus their just a cool bike period.
Cons:
1) There are no wire #'s associated to the wiring diagrams(in BMW Books).
2) The book helps you take the bike apart not together.
3) Missing many picture angles that would be helpful.
4) No writing on how something should be when a picture isn't provided.
Pros:
1) All specs seem to be consistent.
2) Covers a large range of bikes (both years and models).
3) Its inexpensive.
4) Its cheaper than using fire logs (doubles for starting fires).
