The Honda Valkyrie

Honda's Valkyrie/F6C burst onto the motorcycle scene in the mid-1990s, completely changing the way Cruisers looked and performed.
Honda's history with horizontally opposed engines in motorcycles dates back to the mid-1970s and the Valkyrie's fully chromed flat-six-cylinder engine continued this trend with a 'Hot-Rod' version. Its 'Classic American' styling and aggressive sounding clean-flow through exhaust system made the Valkyrie/F6C an instant hit with both motorcycle press and public.
Offering three different models of the original GL1500 Valkyrie, Honda dominated the Cruiser market, winning numerous awards along the way.

In this book, Peter Rakestrow looks at the development and detailed history of the GL1500 Valkyrie/F6C from 1991, including the NRX1800 Valkyrie Rune of 2004, a concept motorcycle that became reality, to the 2014 GL1800 Gold Wing Valkyrie/F6C.
Covering detailed changes of year by model, including specification sheets, this is the first book to cover the full story of a motorcycle that has become a legend in its own lifetime.

Honda : de la CB 750 aux V-4 - 40 ans en endurance

En septembre 1969, la Honda CB750 remporte une victoire retentissante lors de la réorganisation du Bol d'Or à Montlhéry. Ce fut le point de départ d'une nouvelle épopée pour les courses d'endurance moto, où l'usine Honda a fait triompher des machines très différentes, à quatre ou deux cylindres, en ligne ou en V.
Cet ouvrage, qui raconte l'histoire de Honda dans les courses d'endurance, retrace quarante années de compétition. C'est un hommage à tous les pilotes, techniciens ou préparateurs qui ont construit l'épopée de l'endurance moderne, ceux qui sont liés à Honda mais aussi leurs adversaires, sans qui les plus belles pages de ce sport n'auraient pu s'écrire.

Avec plus de 300 photos dont beaucoup d'inédites, les témoignages originaux des acteurs de ces 40 années mouvementées et une compilation des résultats de toutes les courses, cet ouvrage constitue une référence pour l'histoire de l'endurance en moto.
