Rating:  Summary: For classic bike seekers - a fine refference Review: For the international classic-motorcycle-collector this is a comprehensive book on the different antique and classic bikes that are available in the European market, mainly in the UK. It covers mostly the known models in detail, sometimes lacking in the more popular ones. The pricing of the Guide is based on the British market but as far as I could compare to the actual values I encountered - there are differences (but that may be acceptable). The model pricing doesn't take in account the codition of the bike and in some cases its availability (and market demand), but is fair. I found it very useful (as the managing secretary of the Israel Classic & Collectors Vehicle Club) in aiding many of our members to value their purchases from abroad and while searching for finds in other European countries - with a very good feedback on most parts. The book is also a good refernce for details on rare bikes and models, although it is far from being an encyclopedia or an official reference book.
Rating:  Summary: Not very practical Review: I have an interest in vintage Honda motorcycles, so I bought this book as a reference. There were only 3 (THREE) Honda's covered! This book might make for some interesting browsing if your interest is pre-1960 (or even pre WW-II) cycles. Many different manufacturers are shown, but only a handful of each one.It has no practical use for anyone interested in actively buying or selling. There just aren't enough models covered.
