内容简介
From the first Harley-Davidson to the latest Ducati, this lavishly illustrated history of motorcycles presents more than 400 magnificent machines in full-color photographs with authoritative, informative text. Photo Gallery of Motorcycles: This comprehensive encyclopedia pinpoints every landmark innovation since a motor was first bolted onto a bicycle. A gallery of more than 1,000 specially commissioned photographs displays all the notable models produced by BMW, Honda, Triumph, Munch, Norton, Yamaha, and other well-known names in the field, as well as the products of smaller manufacturers like Singer and extinct, fondly remembered companies like Vincent and Velocette. Detailed descriptions of the bikes accompany each photograph, and the insignia for every model is shown separately -- an invaluable aid to identification. An Authoritative Reference: Adding to its riches -- and its value as a definitive reference -- The Encyclopedia of the Motorcycle features the most comprehensive listing of motorcycle manufacturers ever assembled. Profiles introduce more than 3,000 marques from around the world and offer fascinating information about their histories and significance. The directory is enhanced by rare photographs and factory drawings. Whether you are an armchair motorcycle enthusiast, a weekend biker, or a professional you will find excitement, entertainment, and enlightenment in The Encyclopedia of the Motorcycle.
