This book surveys the world of motorcycling from many standpoints, and will appeal to all enthusiasts.. Here, with more than 100 superb colour photographs, and many clear diagrams, the story of the motorcycle is told. Its development from the first wooden framed, single-cylinder model of 1885, to the streamlined, powerful machines of today, is charted in depth, and all the excitement of TT, grands prix, speedway, drag racing, trials, enduros, moto-cross and touring is also fully described.
Here, too, is information on how a bike is built, how it works and on the best tools for the home mechanic. Other topics include scooters and mopeds, motorcycling for the under 16s, world records, biographies of famous motorcyclists, and there is also a useful reference section listing collectors' items, motorcycle museums of the world, and milestones in the history of motorcycling.
