Apologies if this has been mentioned before.
I just picked this book up off the Amazon marketplace for a bargain £5.33 + £2.75 p&p.
Im not great at reading. I mean I can read, I just can never seem to settle into a book. Maybe I have too short an attention span. Anyway, I couldnt put this book down. Its so informative, humorous and ...well, readable. I particularly like that it is UK based, which sort of means I can relate to it a little better. It was printed in 1988 and so doesnt cover the 16 valvers, but the K1 is in there as it was just released at the time of writing. Theres plenty of the development history in there (did you know for instance that the K series was originally designed with the cyclinder head/silencer on the RH side?) and plenty of good pics, and is clearly penned by a brick enthusiast, which is what we all are right?
Highly recomended (even at the RRP of £19.95)
