First of all, anyone who is remotely interested in this book has a problem. And if that person acknowledges that this problem is an enthusiasts addiction to motorcycles then the low cost and high content of this book delivers. For the motorcycle enthusiast who prefers an unmolested motorcycle as delivered from the factory, this is probably not your cup of tea; but be forwarned, pick this book up and you may join the dark side. For the motorcyclist who can't seem to leave his (or her!) trusty motorcycle well enough alone, this book is a motivational spike that would rate on your Richter scale. Beautifully finished, highly modified motorcycles abound in this color packed hard-bound book; and for less than it costs to change the oil in your bike. All the Japanese manufacturers are represented along with Ducati, Buell, Norton, and two bikes that almost defy the description of "motorcycle"; but I won't spoil the rocket fuelled ending, after all this is a book. The only drawback is that this book leaves the reader wanting more. More detail on each bike, and more bikes to examine in detail. The bottom line is this: if you have ever thought, spoken, or written the word MOTORCYCLE then buy this book. The price is right and the content is phenomenal. Guaranteed!

For the exotic, unusual, or custom sporting motorcycle enthusiast, this book is the BOMB! It is packed full of naked streetfighters, supermotards, competition bikes, and others. Specialist makes like Harris, Martek, and Spondon, plus the usual modified production rides from all over the world grace these pages. Beautiful pictures, specs, and interesting text compliment this awesome hardback. It begins with a brief history of the streetfighter craze and contains nearly all current configurations possible- 2 strokes, 4 strokes, rotarys, turbos, N2O, and even a jet powered trike! If your taste for the ultimate sportbike includes art that strays from the mainstream production models as well as all-out brute force, this book is for you. A bargain at twice the price. Get it, you won't be disappointed. I can't wait for Volume 2!
