DESCRIPTION:
Growing up in the early 1970s, surrounded by Yamahas, Hondas, Suzukis and Kawasakis, Ricky Burns had no choice but to fall in love with motorcycles.Since those early days, he has oiled, maintained, fixed (and broken for parts) many fine specimens of now classic motorcycles but, nowadays, he tends to restore them, rather than break them.Having personally restored many classic motorcycles, from small Yamaha two-strokes, to large Honda Goldwings, he has now decided to share his restoration experiences with like-minded enthusiasts.
Worth the cost Excellent general guide to restoring a vintage motorcycle. WARNING: This book is mainly focused on 60's and 70's Japanese bikes. This is what I wanted, as restoration guides for older American and British bikes are easier to find but until recently older Japanese bikes were not really considered "restorable". Well written with excellent color photos. I would highly recommend this book (along with a shop manual for your particular bike) to anyone. I recommend this book for old Japanese (bike) owners ActionAndAdventure! Well written. Excellently photograohed. Great product.. Four Stars JAMES DILLON Great book
The 1970s and 1980s were wonderful eras for the motorcycle, with their assortment of crazy two-strokes, and the first multi-cylinder superbikes coming thick and fast from Japan. It was a time of fast-paced engineering advances, and a time in motorcycle history that is unlikely ever to be repeated. This book will guide you, in detail, through every stage of classic motorcycle restoration. Those over-budget motorcycles that we longed for then are now available well within budget and just waiting to be restored. Packed
