Giorgio Nada Editore Lambretta TV/Li: Prima Serie - Series I: Storia,
Book SynopsisFollowing the monograph devoted to the Lui, this latest volume focuses on another iconic Lambretta the TV-LI Series I. In the history of the Lambretta, the TV and LI Series I laid the foundations of a new engineering concept that revolutionised the traditional model with shaft drive, sold from 1947 to 1958 in hundreds of thousands of examples. There were numerous innovations characterising this new series of models: the engine adopted a duplex chain transmission with a four-speed gearbox and the cylinder was set horizontally, while in terms of the chassis, the most significant novelties concerned the larger 10" wheels and the dimensions of the bodywork. No less important were the improvements to the rear suspension, which abandoned the famous torsion bar for a more efficient motorcycle-style spring-damper unit. For the first time a Lambretta reached a displacement of 170 cc and could offer high performance with a maximum speed of over 100 kph. This model, which went head-to-head with the Vespa 150 GS, is without doubt one of the most sought-after by collectors today. Even the more tranquil LI 125 and 150 were extremely successful, with thousands of examples of this exceptional Innocenti scooter still on the roads today, appreciated for their incredible robustness and stability. Vittorio Tessera, "Mr Lambretta," covers the entire technical, industrial and social history of these models, while the books is illustrated with hundreds of photographs.

The Crowood Press Ltd Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3: The Complete
Book SynopsisThe 3-cylinder Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3 were developed to compete with Honda’s forthcoming 750cc motorcycle. Initially they did not compare well – although very fast, they lacked sophistication and their quirky styling was offputting – and the decision was made to suspend production. This was not the most auspicious start, but a fightback was initiated and in 1971 the factory race team had a triumphant year including placing 1st, 2nd and 3rd at the Daytona 200. With over 250 photographs, the full rollercoaster-ride history of these bikes is described, including: how the bikes came to be, including a timeline of significant events; a year-by-year account of the evolution of the bikes, through the T150, T160 and Rocket 3; the story of the Hurricane; the full racing history and, finally, the Triumph 3-cylinder bikes today.Trade ReviewEstablished author Peter Henshaw has gone to great lengths to interview those who were involved in design manufacture and marketing of the bikes as well as doing extensive research that has more than added to the well-know facts that have been rehashed repeatedly over the past few years in books and magazines. This new information is all catalogued in the bibliography at the rear of this hardback. At £25.00 it is still worth adding to your library as there is a lot of new information that has been unearthed, making it an important addition to your knowledge base. -- Ian Kerr, reviewer Desmo 261 * Desmo magazine *

David & Charles How to Restore Triumph Trident T150/T160 & Bsa
Book SynopsisWritten by an enthusiast with many years’ experience of working on classic British motorcycles but with little experience of working on these iconic machines this book covers the complete dismantling, refurbishment, and rebuilding of two Tridents: a 1973 Triumph T150V and a 1975 Triumph T160. This immensely helpful book covers all parts of the rebuild in great detail; parts that other manuals gloss over, leaving the restorer confused and frustrated. From the simplest of jobs, such as removing the fuel tank, through to detailed explanations of rebuilding the engine and carburettors, this manual is an absolute must for any enthusiast contemplating working on their Triumph or BSA triple. Over 650 colour photographs and detailed text descriptions clarify every stage ... engine, gearbox, clutch, electrics, frame, wheels, forks, swinging arm, brakes, instruments ... the whole bike! Highly readable and entertaining, the author readily admits to the various pitfalls and mistakes he makes in order for others to avoid them. Designed to sit alongside existing workshop manuals, this book is intended to help the owner complete a full restoration of their beloved triple. Essential garage literature!Trade ReviewWhat we especially like is the friendly, everyday tone ... It's said that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Well if so, you're in pretty safe hands here. Recommended. Sump I would have no hesitation in recommending that every shed or garage that contains an early Trident or Rocket III should also contain this book.

David & Charles The Kawasaki Z1 Story: The Death and Rebirth of
Book SynopsisJust as Kawasaki was about to green-light the world's first mass-produced across-the-frame four-cylinder motorcycle, Honda pulled the rug out from under them, unveiling the CB750-4 at the Tokyo Show in 1968. It lit the fuse for what was to become motorcycling's most explosive decade. In never before published interviews, with the men responsible for the bike code-named 'New York Steak, ' Dave Sheehan relates the story behind the Z1's development; the secret US testing programme in which a team including Imola-race winner Paul Smart rode pre-production bikes disguised as Hondas coast-to-coast across America. The Kawasaki Z1 Story examines the myth, truth and legend surrounding the Z1's first race win - of which even Kawasaki knew nothing. Here, too, is the full story of the epic three days at Florida's legendary Daytona Speedway when a trio of Z1s broke more than 50 speed endurance records.Trade ReviewA fascinating read. South East Biker Magazine with the pedigree of the first hand sources, this book has more accurate information about the birth and early days of the Z1 than you're likely to find anywhere else ... a fascinating book Z1 Owners Club newZletter Ian Fleming's James Bond franchise has nothing on Dave Sheehan's telling of the saga of the creation of the Kawasaki Z1. Ultimate MotorCycling a fascinating story Bike Rider Magazine A cracking good buy at GBP14.99 for a trip back in time when the launches of new bikes were actually exciting! Ian Kerr. The Kawasaki Z1 was baptised with the last letter of the alphabet to symbolise the definitive decantation of the motor vehicle as it was conceived in the decade of the 70s. On planes, the four high performance cylinders was known as the New York Steak, a much more succulent name. The Z1 was the first mass production sports bike, the first to offer DOHC distribution, the fastest motorcycle of all. Includes more then 100 never-been-seen-photos, and reveals the myths and truths of the Z1S featured in Daytona 1975. – La Moto.
