From the first wheezing motorized bicycles to the high-tech road rockets of today, motorcycles have been an integral part of our mobile society. Born of ingenuity, toughened by wars, and strengthened by competition, they've grown to become an international symbol of freedom and individuality. Motorcycle Classics profiles more than 100 bikes from the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and Japan, encompassing over 90 years of motorcycling history. All this, plus full-color photographs, revealing text, and detailed specifications.
