DESCRIPTION:
"Book is as described with specs and Road Tests from the 60's and 70's" according to Jim. Book is as described, specs and Road Tests from back in the day. I was looking for some history and pictures on older Sportsters and this book gave me what I was looking for. I think there are better books out there on the history of Harley and Sportsters but I was interested in the older Road Tests this book provided. Two thumbs up! Great for Sportster Ironhead owners or fans. It's an anthology of magazine articles from the UK from 1965 to 1976, reviews of these bikes as they came out. I really enjoyed it, and it was available at a really good price.. Love this book! Wow, what a throwback. Sportsters were the superbike of their time back in the 60s. These articles are so well written, what a treat to read. I read it cover to cover as soon as I got it and will revisit again.
Volume contains road and comparison tests, specs, model introductions, and performance data.. Reprinted articles from major magazines Modern Cycle, Cycle World, Motorcyclist and others deal specifically with Harley-Davidson Sportsters, including XL, XLH, XLCH, 833cc, 1000cc, and XR-750 models
