Classic British Bikes covers the first century of the British motorcycle industry, from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Divided into four chronological sections -The Pioneers, Vintage Days, The Classic Era, Endings and Beginnings - it profiles almost 100 of the best-loved machines that have helped to shape the last hundred years. From the turn-of-the-century belt-drive Triumph 3hp to today's Triumph T595 Daytona superbike, and from the humble BSA Bantam to the mighty Vincent Black Prince, these profiles show, in words and pictures, just how dramatically motorcycle technology developed from its infancy up to the modern day.
Illustrated section introductions provide historical backgrounds to each period, discussing the significant events and important personalities of the times. Then each bike profile - illustrated with superb contemporary colour photographs taken especially for this book - tells the story of the model, from its design and development right the way through its production. A technical panel gives comparative specifications as well as key dates and background facts.
