Synopses & Reviews
Since Gottlieb Daimler produced his Einspur in 1885 there have been over 100 years of development in motorcycle manufacture. This superb pictorial guide features the models that became classics, as well as those that litter the wayside of history. A marque-by-marque listing of models and manufacturers, from ancient Scott roadsters to Aprilia's 250cc Grand Prix racer, describes the machines and how they have won their place in history. There are boxed highlights detailing the key elements of their design: engine specifications, power, weight and top speed. With its pacy and informative text, this is both an excellent introduction for the new motorcyclist, and a classic reference and source book for more knowledgeable historians, collectors and motorcycle enthusiasts.
