Here are the bikes that have carried their riders to championships--described by the riders who steered their bikes to victory. In twenty profiles, riders tell readers what it was like to ride a winning bike, how special features put it ahead of the competition, and what memorable moments happened along the way. Each profile, illustrated with action photography from the bike's glory days as well as present-day images, offers a detailed technical analysis of the engine/transmission, frame, suspension, brakes, and other features that made the bike special. Rich with detailed photography and one-of-a-kind anecdotes, this is an irresistible celebration of the spirit, the grit, and the gear that made motocross what it is today.

What happened to the 60's? November 3, 2009
R. Tunell
Great book but it skips the sixties with the exception of one bike. Where are the Husqvarnas, CZs and Maicos (AJS, Bultaco, Greeves, Ossa, Puch, Penton, Sachs, etc) that started the sport in the U.S.?
