The motorcycles in this book were built with one objective: to win motocross championships. Every motorcycle profiled on these pages marks a milestone, offering a detailed analysis of the engine, frame, suspension, brakes, and other features that made the bike a winner.
20 champion motocross riders tell readers what it was like to ride a bike that established its place in motocross history. Each bike is given a technical analysis including Sten Lundin\'s Monark/Lito, which holds the title for the most Grand Prix entries and most Grand Prix victories as well as Eric Geboer\'s Honda RC500C, the last true prototype championship-winning works bike.
In addition to the mechanical breakdown, readers are also given an insight in to the back stories, such as the innovation of the first monoshock motocross frame and the rider who shocked the factory works world by invoking the AMA\'s claiming rule.
Stunning colour photography mixed with archival action shots give a visual description of these legendary motocross bikes that have never been seen before.
This is an irresistible celebration of the spirit, the grit, and the gear that made motocross what it is today.
Author Terry Good first became interested in off-road motorcycling at the age of 14, when he started trail riding with his dad. He began competing in motocross races in 1972, and turned pro in 1975. His career as a professional motocross racer peaked when he competed in the infamous 1976 125 AMA National series. In 1978, Terry bought his first ex-factory works motocross bike, and has since accumulated the most prestigious collection of factory works bikes in the world.
Today, Terry works as a futures trader, living in Chicago.
Very well illustrated and easy-to-read book, if you love motocross bikes then this is a must!
