Zusammenfassung

The complex engineering behind the machines is explained in easy-to-understand terms and supported by 350 images. It covers a range of motorcycle types, and will be particularly useful for students on motorcycle and motorsport courses such as those run by the IMI and City & Guilds, as well as BTEC programmes.
