Rising Sun
They came, they saw - and they conquered the motorcycling world. Rising from
the ashes of post-WWII Japan, the Japanese motorcycle industry swept all
before it to become one of the most astonishing success stories of the
industrial world. From the early faltering steps in the late 40s and 50s,
Rising Sun rides alongside some of the greatest names in motorcycling into
the glory years of almost total Japanese dominance. Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki
and Kawasaki are all to the fore as we look at the stories behind the
success. Every motorcyclist will want to add Rising Sun to their collection
and get the inside track on some of the finest motorcycling writers.

Moto Italia
Two-wheeled romance will never be dead as long as there is an Italian
motorcycle industry. Some of the most soul-stirring bikes ever have come
from Italy and Moto Italia tells the tale of an industry that has
consistently managed to combine passion with technical innovation. Who could
fail to be seduced by the sight and sound of a Ducati 916 in full flight
through a series of sun-kissed bends or thrill to the angry bellow of a 70s
Laverda Jota coming on cam. Italian Bikes captures the poetry of
motorcycling perfection and Moto Italia will capture the heart and soul of
these most beguiling of machines.
