Items related to Motorcycle: Evolution, Design, Passion
This is the definitive, comprehensive guide to motorcycle design. Tapping a deep well of knowledge and a lifetime of experience, motorcycle racer and historian Mick Walker sheds light on the evolution of one of the world's ultimate status symbols and style icons -- a development owing as much to history, politics, and technology as it does to image, lifestyle, and design. In a survey that ranges from the late nineteenth-century pioneers like Gottlieb Daimler and Hildebrand & Wolfmüller to present-day manufacturers -- Harley Davidson, Ducati, Honda, BMW, Aprilia, and Triumph -- Walker sets each model within its historical context and outlines the main technological and stylistic innovations that make each bike unique.

(Carolyn Dougherty Journal of Transport History 1900-01-00)A 'picture book' with a great many excellent photographs... These photos alone make the book worth its price.
(David Reilly SAH Journal 1900-01-00)Mick Walker is acknowledged to be the world's leading motorcycle authority. In a career that has spanned over forty-five years, he has written over one hundred books and curated several exhibitions. He has been a successful racer, tuner, team manager, talent scout, and British importer.
