Motorcycle Classics Prewar Perfection

Packed with stories about all different kinds of bikes (from a 1936 Harley-Davidson EL and 1941 BMW R75 to a 1927 Cleveland 4-45 and a 1933 KTT Velocette), this collection features something new and interesting on every page.

Read about the enduring legacy of the inventor of Carmex lip balm (his grandson rides and fixes up motorcycles), travel to Berlin to discover the roots of the 1939 BMW R51, and learn how the 1930 Henderson KJ Streamline was used as a police transport vehicle. This is the perfect read for the history lover and motorcycle collector!

Motorcycle Classics Street Bikes of the ’60s

An era of victors and vanquished that heralded the coming changing of the guard, the ’60s brought us some of the most memorable machines of all time. This 96-page Motorcycle Classics special collector’s edition features glossy photographs, unique perspectives, and some of the most famous bikes to come out of this time.

Motorcycle Classics Street Bikes of the ’70s, Vol. II

Many great and classic motorcycles were designed and built in the ’70s. Motorcycle Classics has put together another 96-page special edition featuring articles that explore the decade and what it brought to the motorcycle world. The Honda CB550K, Ducati 750 Sport, Yamaha RD400, and many others are all covered in this glossy-page, full-color guide. Whether you’re just discovering these bikes or have been riding them since they first came on the market, you can enjoy this special edition.

Motorcycle Classics Street Bikes of the ’80s

From cult-classic Suzukis to dreamy Ducatis, Street Bikes of the ’80s profile 17 of the finest 1980s-era street bikes to ever grace the pages of Motorcycle Classics. Read how engineers had plans to make the Honda CX650 Turbo the most fuel-efficient and highest-performing bike of the Eighties, follow collector Dave Eulberg as he searches for Ducati Pantahs, learn how motorcycle designer Craig Vetter got his inspiration for the 1980 Vetter Mystery Ship No. 3, and more!
