DESCRIPTION:
The Harley-Davidson, one of the world's most celebrated motorcycles, is explored in this comprehensive guide, from its humble beginnings to the incredible American icon it has become today.
"No Encyclopedia, This." according to Pleiadian7. I glean from the other 2 reviews that this book lacks veracity; as a Harley neophyte, I would hardly know if the information presented is inaccurate.My own complaint is that I was hoping for something a little meatier although I found some of the information interesting. I, too, wish there was more about individual models, perhaps more "color" about the idiocyncracies or character of the various bikes. Nor is it comprehensively encyc. "Not so nice to know info?" according to A Customer. This book is not what I expected from an encyclopedia. What did I expect? Data and pictures of all the different modelyears, changes of the models from one year to the other.This is not what you get from this book.It describes some history of HD (nice chapter)and then comes up with a lot of nonsense pages about the "Harley A-Z".The listing of models through the years is limited to production-numbers and colours for the productionyear. hardly an encyclopedia Mr. Poizun You expect an encyclopedia to be accurate and this book is not.Many facts are wrong, motorcycles are misidentified, the yearly model lists have numerous errors. Here's just a few examples.Page 185; no FXRS in the 92 model list (I own a 92 FXRS LowRider which I bought new), same page had a pic of a 92 Dyna Daytona, misidentified in the caption as a 91. Page 191; pic of a Softail Standard misidentified as a Springer. Page 92; Evolution
