Complete British Motorcycle The Classics from 1907 to the Present

Early in the 20th century, the British motorcycle industry was one of the most flourishing such enterprises in the world. Inevitably, though, the Depression took its toll, and postwar production recommenced under the auspices of just a handful of manufacturers, most notably Triumph, Norton and BSA. This large-format, all-color photohistory examines the industry from the period coinciding with the Depression through its postwar boom, its mismanagement during the 1970s and its current resurrection. An authoritative text and exclusive color photography -- including double-page spreads of the most significant motorcycles -- explain the design, development and production history of the machines featured, while comprehensive specifications provide the facts and figures enthusiasts demand.Carroll, John is the author of 'Complete British Motorcycle The Classics from 1907 to the Present' with ISBN 9780760311486 and ISBN 076031148X.
