History of the Motorcycle by Don Morley is a richly illustrated celebration of the development, design and evolution of the motorcycle, tracing its progression from early motorised machines to increasingly sophisticated road and racing motorcycles of the twentieth century. Presented in an attractive large-format coffee-table style, the book combines historical information with an extensive selection of photographs showcasing motorcycles from different eras, manufacturers and engineering traditions.
History of the Motorcycle examines the remarkable changes in motorcycle technology over the decades, including advances in engines, frames, suspension, styling and performance. Both everyday road machines and competition motorcycles are represented, giving readers a broad overview of how motorcycles developed from relatively simple forms of personal transport into highly specialised machines built for touring, racing and performance.
The photographic content is one of the book’s strongest features, making History of the Motorcycle especially appealing to enthusiasts of classic and vintage motorcycles. Historic marques, racing machines and notable designs are presented in a format well suited to both reference use and casual browsing.
