Product Description
Although in production for only three years, the R90S was the most significant post-war production BMW motorcycle. This comprehensive book tells the story of this important bike and how it evolved noting all significant changes from year to year. Beautifully laid out with big full-color pictures, the book could stand alone as a coffee table book. But it's much more than that. Falloon writes with enough detail to make restoring these great bikes much easier, and also includes a chapter on how to live with an R90S, using them as reliable daily commuters, making popular upgrades, and what to look for if you are in the market for one. With outstanding looks and high-quality equipment, the R90S has justifiably garnered a devoted following of motorcycle enthusiasts who will want to own this definitive book.

 Well done -- a must have! July 17, 2008

Just finished absorbing this fine book. Falloon manages to convey relevant, even detailed, information in an easy-to-read style. Well-done assortment of photos, including earlier, concurrent and later BMW models. Even the requisite "pre-history" section was interesting and relevant. I was especially pleased to see the inclusion of the entire -S model lineage, right through 1984. The author, to his credit, avoids the usual gushing praise of many enthusiast books, giving kudos where deserved and critical observation when needed. Contributions and quotes from important folks like Reg Pridmore, Bob Lutz and Udo Gietl are used sparingly, and thus effectively. I thoroughly enjoyed all 125 pages. I noticed a couple of typos, which was odd in such a gorgeously crafted book. The best of the Collector Series--and a keeper.
