Forty classic bikes comprehensively examined

I first became aware of Vic Willoughby's books while travelling in Europe, yet his titles are hard to find here. This is unfortunate for his books share an exhaustive and intriguing look into the technical and historcal aspects of some truly remarkable motorcycles. In Classic Motorcycles forty bikes from six nations that span seven decades are reviewed with an emphasis on mechanical finesse and innovation. Several illustrations, including exploded diagrams of engines, and a few in color, accompany the marques' racing developments and successes. Some of his other books tend to focus more on technical explanation but this work includes ample historical backround as well. 176 pp.
