Customer comments on this selection.
v-four fans NOT the book you want to buy if you are a lover of the honda intercepter street bikes. this is more for the ricky-racer sorts. very good photos of some street bikes and many great photos of competition and rare v-four machines. the competition history of the V-fours is well done if that is what your after (if so, you will appreciate this book more than i).
No charts for information This book has a nice story and pretty pictures. I wanted more. How about charts showing all the specs for the various years of the VFR ? There aren't any.
a MUST have for V4 owners This book is a MUST have for any Honda V4 owner , a real mine of infos , technical explainations , pictures : anything you should know on all Honda V4
Tour de Force for the V-Force! Excuse me for gushing a little but this is an absolutely wonderful book. Sometimes an author, even if he's a Brit, gets it all right and Mr. Ryder has done himself proud with this one. Engrossing story of the V4 and how its creation exemplifies the Honda culture. Great research and writing with beautiful, crisp pictures. Honda's history unfolds as you follow the V4's development from a humble beginning to the pinnacle of motorcycling . The first book I read of Mr. Ryder's was his "World Superbikes the First Ten Years" and it was very good. As good as that book was this one is a level up. He's on a roll. Do yourself a favor and get this one. You won't be sorry!
If you own a Honda V4, this is a "must have". This book was fantastic. Let me explain. I own a 1985 V65 Sabre. Right smack in the middle of this engine's development and controversy. This book gave me more details, more background, more meat,,, than I have been able to garnish from all other sources combined. I've read it twice, so far...
