This book covers Honda from inception right up to the Gold Wing introduction. The book has a wealth of information with background stories on many key models, including a warts-and-all review of these bikes. There is also a chapter on Honda's racing efforts. Although I never had much interest in this specific subject, the book provides another insight on development that also had an impact on production models. At the back end of the book there is an appendix that has tables on bike specifications, model recognition and production years ['47 to '80]. This part alone has been an invaluable resource for me.
A must have for anyone seriously into vintage Hondas!
