ABOUT
The 1960s and 70s saw the biggest sales boom in the 100-year history of the motorcycle.
There were more motorcycles on New Zealand roads in the 1970s than at any other period before or since. There was more technological advance and there was more emphasis on safety and protective clothing than at any previous time.
The Japanese who revolutionised motorcycle design, manufacture and marketing spearheaded most of the initiatives. To understand what happened in the 70s, the book traces the early years of motorcycles and features notable riders and bikes in each period covered. It touches on the record-breaking bikes pioneered by John Britten and the revival of the great British bikes of the 30s and 40s.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images.
