Description
In the DK Definitive Transport Guides series, this is a highly illustrated history of the motorcycle from the earliest petrol-powered two-wheelers to powerful superbikes to the battery-powered machines of the modern age. Featuring over 1000 machines, it tells the fascinating stories behind the world's leading manufacturers, the roles played by their influential designers and engineers, and their milestone models. It also charts the cultural backdrop against which the various models arose and their impact on society - as objects of curiosity, affordable means of transport, symbols of rebellion, or the first choice for full-throttle action on the road, trail, or track.
