Not a sports bike and not a touring motorcycle, standard motorcycles fit the needs of riders who just want to get around town. Students will learn about these cheap, reliable, and easily customizable motorcycles.
A quartet for motorcycle enthusiasts. Loaded with crisp color photos of snarling machines, glittering chrome, colorful body armor, and customized paint jobs, these books' combination of heavy-duty interest matter and lightweight texts spells appeal. Each one covers equipment and the experience of riding one of these machines, and Motocross and Enduro also discuss competition. The books contain a brief glossary (think “fairing” or “v-twin,” both terms listed in Cruisers), a short list of further readings, and a step-by-step road map for reaching a pertinent Website. From comfortable cruisers to ape-hanger choppers to the sturdy knobbies of dirt bikes, this collection is a satisfying two-wheeler daydream.
