Description

Author: Doug Mitchel, Softbound, 144 Pages, ISBN: 9781935828853, WP-8853 - 1st Edition, 2013

The Enthusiasts Guide - Honda Motorcycles 1959 to 1985, is designed to aid the non-professional motorcycle collector in sorting through the pros and cons of buying and restoring a particular Honda motorcycle.

For each of those models author Doug Mitchel provides four to six  paragraphs describing the bike in general terms including any yearly changes that Honda made to the bike during the time the model was in production. This year-by-year information includes both major mechanical changes to the engine or fork, as well as the simple changes that were often made to the paint color or graphics.

Bullet points for each model include: The relative cost to acquire this particular model and the value when finished. The cost and availability of parts (some are easy to find, others are impossible). The complexity of the machine, and the relative difficulty in doing a restoration.

A more general section at the back of the book includes an interview with Roger Smith, an experienced and well-known restoration expert. The Q&A includes his guidance on things like picking a bike to restorel finding the best parts, how long a typical restoration takes, and which part of the restoration process might best be farmed out to third-party experts with special skills.

Additional information includes help with shopping for parts, where to find the best deals, and whether or not to shop on-line.

There's even a guide to buying that dream motorcycle, the one you're going to bring home and restore to its former glory.
