ABOUT
Classic Motorcycle celebrates the cult and the culture of motorcycling Rather than an exhaustive anthology of machines, it is a winding journey through the twentieth century; seeking out the essential factors which shaped the unique design of the true ‘classics’ of the motorcycle world and which defIned the motorcycle ‘heritage’ of each country. Key machines of the past 100 years are brought together to reveal a picture of driven technological genius embedded in cultural and social history.
The big-engined Harley of America; the supremely stylish Ducati of ltaly, revered as a work of art; Germany’s BMW, a classic example of design imperialism; the Norton and Triumph produced in Britain’s glory years; and the futuristic machines of Japan, led by Soichiro
Honda’s unique vision of mass-production fused with superior technology: all of these are niche products, vulnerable to the whim of economic or social change. Caught in this shifting atmosphere, it is only when a whole constellation of necessary factors appear that a classic is born.
Gary Johnstones book accompanies the major television series, classic Motorcycles, on Channel Four."
