Classic British Motorcycles : An Illustrated History, Paperback / softback Book

Classic British Motorcycles : An Illustrated History Paperback / softback

Part of the Classic Vehicles Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Classic British motorcycles were more than simple machines, they were a cultural phenomenon that lasted half a century.

From the early days of motoring, British innovators led the way, building some of the world's most famous motorcycles, as well as some of the best performers.

At one point, the rest of the motorcycle world followed Britain's lead, and by the late 1950s, the British were by far the largest producers of motorcycles in the world.

However, barely a decade later, the British motorcycle industry was almost bankrupt and in utter disarray.

Illustrated with over 150 photographs, this book explores the rise and fall of the British motorcycle industry, looking at its history through the years and then at the motorcycles themselves by brand, giving the complete story of these amazing machines. 150 illustrations
