The Honda Story: Road and Racing Motorcycles from 1948 to the Present Day by Ian Falloon

After the nightmare of the Second World War, Soichiro Honda and Takeo Fujisawa created the Dream.

Today - through a marriage of engineering brilliance and astute marketing - Honda has become the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer, dominating both the race track and showroom. It is an extraordinary story, told here with particular reference to the top road and road racing models.
