Product Description

Vintage Japanese cycles are the very bikes many motorcycles enthusiasts grew up buying, fixing and riding, and aspire to own again.

Production figures contained in this one-of-a-kind book are key to accurately identifying parts during repair and renovation.

Motorcycle ownership in the U.S. is on the rise, and with Honda owning the bulk of the market, a full-service book on Japanese bikes is long overdue, whether you're a rider, experienced restorer and collector. Standard Catalog of Japanese Motorcycles covers nearly 50 production years of the Japanese "Big 4" companies - Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki in one phenomenal package containing aftermarket pricing, technical data including engine type and horsepower, for bikes up to the 1990 models

Customer Reviews

somewhat useful but disappointing in the end
I wish I had seen jodie arnold's review before I bought it. Cover says "Production figures" but these a woefully lacking. I expected and wanted some manufacturing numbers but there were none.

this book is nothing special
this book does not go into any depth specifications are not listed does not do justice to subject.

Loaded with Inaccuracies!!!!
This book is so inaccurate it is ridiculous. I have had many vintage Japanese bikes and I know them so when I see how wrong this book is in so many areas it is just terrible. This book is hastily thown together to make money. It is very bad. It is not just poorly done it is very misleading with incorrect information thoughout.
