Light moss green cloth with silver spine titles, dust jacket, 22 by 30 cm, 176 pp., illus. Very good with a small, faint stain on the back cover, in a good, price-clipped jacket with a few small edge tears, light edge wear and a faint stain on the rear panel. From the front flap: “The modern motor cycle, extrovert and often extravagant symbol of power, masculinity and individuality, is the latest link in a chain of inspiration and painstaking development reaching back over decades. Many of the famous machines of the past have firm places in motor cycle lore, many of them were the direct forerunners of types still marketed, many introduced revolutionary features which are now commonplace. Classic Motorcycles ranges over 60 years of history, examining forty outstanding machines in depth, covering both roadsters and racing bikes.” Heavily illustrated with color and black and white photographs. (os) Dust jacket present. First Edition.
