  Published to accompany a Channel 4 television series, this is a celebration of the classic motorcycles of the last hundred years, examining how each bike was born and how it acquired its technical excellence and cult status. Each is discussed as a product of the culture in which it was produced: Guzzi and Ducati in Italy; Britain's Nortons and Triumphs; America's Harley Davidson and the Indian; and the commercial success achieved by Japan's Soichiro Honda.
