註釋An essential design history of the motorcycle, featuring all of the classic icons from the late-19th-century pioneers to present-day marques (see overleaf for a detailed contents list). Within chronological, thematic chapters, Walker writes engagingly, setting each motorcycle within its historical context and outlining the key technological and aesthetic innovations that made the model unique. He explains the impact of each on future bike design, accompanying each model with specifications. An easily navigated cross-referencing system allows comparison with other motorcycles in the marque and relevant related topics. Walker also considers vital technological and social themes that encouraged the cross-fertilization of design ideas and stimulated progression. This book is the most comprehensive document of world-wide bike design ever published. No motorcycle enthusiast can afford to go without this definitive design history.
