About this title

Synopsis

Synopsis Superbikes features more than 200 of the most important motorcycles of the last 30 years, including classic, off-road and racing machines. It provides a detailed, easy-to-use guide to the diverse range of current motorcycle models, their technologies and designs. From the earliest Superbikes, such as Honda's CB750 and Kawasaki's Z1, to the latest Yamaha YZF R-1 and Ducati's 998R, as well as tourers, custom cruisers and large-capacity scooters, this comprehensive guide takes you through the exciting world of modern two-wheelers. Superbikes includes full-color photographs, with stripped-down pictures of many models, a comprehensive specification table, and detailed history and performance tips for each bike. Alan Dowds is a motorcycling journalist, and is currently deputy editor at SuperBike magazine. He has previously worked for Motor Cycle News and RIDE magazine, as well as launching Tankin', a local Scottish motorcycle magazine, in 1995. He is an experienced motorcycle road tester, and has ridden and tested almost every motorcycle introduced since 1994, as well as many other older machines, racing and off-road bikes. Born in Greenock, Scotland, he now lives in south London, England.
