Book Synopsis Pictorial History of Japanese Motorcycles by : Cornelis Vandenheuvel
Book excerpt: A decade-by-decade look at the Japanese motorcycle industry that started from scratch following WWII and grew to become the dominant motor-cycle manufacturers of the century. By 1980, four manufacturers -- Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha -- collectively offered an astonishing array of models. Today, early Japanese motorcycles are favorites of collectors and enthusiasts who recognize the many technological achievements of earlier performance machines. Illustrated with a combination of archival photos, modern color shots.
