Moto e ciclomotori (depuis 1945) - Germania: libri

German Racing Motorcycles

For a considerable period covered by this book, there were two distinct Germanys; West and East. Under very different political regimes they produced some highly innovative and competitive racing machinery.
German motorcycles were often in the vanguard of technical progress, and were good enough to win world titles. In this respect, the top names in the solo categories were NSU and Kreidler, while BMW, Fath, Munch and Konig did the business on three wheels.

Like Japan, Germany was faced with rebuilding a shattered country following at the end of World War 2. Like the Japanese, they overcame all the problems not only to create an economic miracle, but also to construct world-beating motorcycles.
Much of this success was thanks to Germany's pool of skilled engineers, both at factory and private level. Thus, Germany could be said to have contributed to the development of the sport in a wide variety of ways, engineers, machines, riders, circuits, and even record-breakers. The German motorcycle racing story has them all.

Contents: Adler, BMW Solos, BMW Sidecars, DKW, Fath, Horex, König, Kreidler, Maico, Münch, MZ, NSU, Simson & Zündapp.

Deutsche Motorräder - Marken und Modelle seit 1945

This is the first volume of a comprehensive reference work on German motorcycle construction: a complete chronicle of all German motorcycles from their beginnings to the present day. From Simson to Kreidler to Zündapp and others, all types, brands and relevant data are presented.

The two-wheeler expert Frank Rönicke does not only cover the glorious post-war period. Despite the dominance of a large German motorcycle manufacturer since the 1970s, the variety of two-wheelers that have emerged from German factories and are still produced remains extremely extensive.

DMAX Kult-Eisen - Unsere Motorräder der 70er, 80er und 90er

At the beginning of the 1970s, it was the Japanese who rediscovered the motorcycle after its decline in the 1950s - this time as a leisure and sports machine.
Only a few German brands, including BMW, were able to profit from this trend and make their own mark. Otherwise, the Japanese dominated the European motorcycle market, especially Honda, the world market leader.

Jungs, Eure 400er - Die 27 PS-Motorräder der 70er und 80er

After mopeds and mokicks came the big two-wheeled world: as an alternative to larger, more expensive machines, many apprentices and students found happiness in the 27 hp class.
The range of products offered by manufacturers was huge. Nevertheless, they all had one thing in common: whether they had 400 cc displacement, maybe 500 cc, or even 250, they never had more than 27 hp.

In this volume, Joachim Kuch, himself a former 400 cc pilot, takes readers on a journey back in time to the 1970s and 1980s. Rich in facts and with many advertising photos and brochures typical of the time, he transports his readers back to the time of flared jeans and colorful Nolan helmets.

Jungs, Eure 750er - Die Bigbikes der 70er

NUOVO

In the 1970s, many new riders in Europe discovered the thrill of motorcycling, inspired by the growing motorcycle culture in the United States.
This wave of enthusiasm brought a wide range of new models and brands such as Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha to the market.

While a 125cc bike was once seen as a full motorcycle, and a 250 cc as mid-range, the new generation of riders started only at higher engine sizes.
Honda's CB 750 was followed by Kawasaki's Z 900, Suzuki's GS 1000, and Yamaha's XS 1100. By the end of the decade, even six-cylinder engines were not uncommon.

This illustrated book by Joachim Kuch recalls that energetic era, continuing the popular series on the "young rebels" of motorcycling.
It provides a complete overview of all major models, supported by period photos, illustrations, and poster reproductions.
