Japanese motorcycles have been the best-selling bikes in the world since
the mid-1960s, driven by the "big four" Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and
Kawasaki. Of course certain bikes have always had a following - Honda
CB750, 305 Hawk, CB400-4, Benly; Suzuki GT750, Katana, GS1000S; Yamaha
XS650, RD400 Daytona, TZ; Kawaski H1, H2, Z1R - and these have now
become the blue-chip Japanese bikes leading collectors to seek out more
common (and now more affordable) alternatives.
This is the perfect book for anyone interested in classic Japanese
motorcycles, as well as prepping a bike to build a cafe racer, street
tracker, or other custom build.
