In a list of the 10 most significant motorcycles in two-wheel history, there is no doubt that the Honda 750 must take one of the top places. But it would also be included if the list were to be whittled down to five models – or and even three. Because when the machine went on sale in 1969, it radically changed the world motorcycle panorama. If two wheeled machines were seen as a mere substitute for the car in previous decades, a spartan vehicle and, with rare exceptions, one of little fascination, a revolution took place with the arrival of the Four. Now, the motorcycle – this motorcycle – is even preferred to an open sports car in that it is a vehicle of enthusiasts’ dreams due to its extremely modern appearance and high performance: for the first time, a production bike was capable of 200 kph. The technical content was extraordinary, with its 4-cylinder engine, which had previously been reserved for racing, the front disc brake and its five speed gearbox. On top of that, the machine had an electric starter, a feature that alone pushed many a “motorcyclist” into buying it, people who until that day would never have dreamt of giving up their 4-wheel transport the day before the Four came out.

This volume is the result of experience acquired personally in garages as well as of concepts acquired in years of consulting books, manuals of the constructors and specialist publications. It is an easy-to-read guide but of rigorous and important content with which to carry out work on motorcycles of times gone by, with attention focused not on the pre-war models but on those of the 60s and 70s in particular, that is those on which today’s enthusiasts work most frequently. The book deals with all aspects of restoration with special reference to mechanical work and the engine as well as the chassis-suspension-drivetrain; those which the enthusiasts can carry out themselves in their own garages, using easy-to-find tools of reasonable cost.
