Synopsis

The complete guide to motorbikes and biking, with an A–Z of marques and more than 850 superb photographs

This impressive, newly-updated book covers the whole world of the motorcycle from myth-and-legend to nuts-and-bolts in a single volume.

It charts the evolution of the motorcycle from its first development by Daimler in 1885 to the superbikes of the 21st century, including special features on sport and racing, touring, custom models, speed record breakers and motorcycles at war, in the movies and at work.

A large A–Z section is a definitive marque-by-marque encyclopedia of models and manufacturers, both existing and defunct.

Every major marque is illustrated with photographs showing the beauty and originality of each machine. All entries detail the technical specifications of the machines and describe the key elements of their design, performance features, engineering standards and their qualities and attributes.
