  The Motorcycle Encyclopaedia is a complete and comprehensive reference work. The book is designed in two major sections. The first is a photo-gallery of over 400 classic motorbikes, alphabetically arranged by manufacturers, with all their significant models covered in detail. The second section lists every maker from the inception of motorcycling to the present day, and includes rare photographs and design blueprints. Each manufacturer is profiled, from ABC to Sundapp through giants of the industry like Honda and extinct but fondly remembered producers like Vincent and Velocette. A short introduction outlines the development of motorbikes. The jargon of the motorcycling world is also explained.
