For each of these models author Doug Mitchel provides four to six paragraphs describing the bike in general terms including any yearly changes that Honda made to the bike during the time the model was in production. This year-by-year information includes both major mechanical changes to the engine or fork, as well as the simple changes that were often made to the paint color or graphics. Bullet points for each model include: The relative cost to acquire this particular model and the value when finished. The cost and availability of parts (some are easy to find, others are impossible). The complexity of the machine, and the relative difficulty in doing a complete restoration. A more general section at the back of the book includes an interview with Roger Smith, an experienced and well-known restoration expert. The Q&A includes his guidance on things like picking a bike to restore, finding the best parts, how long a typical restoration takes, and which part of the restoration might best be farmed out to third-party experts with special skills. Enthusiasts Guide - Honda Motorcycles 1959 to 1985 uses 144 pages, over 350 color photos to bring you over 25 years worth of details on a wide range of Honda motorcycles., Honda Motorcycles 1959 to 1985: Enthusiasts Guide is designed to aid the non-professional motorcycle collector decide whether or not to buy and restore Honda motorcycles produced between 1959 and 1985. For each of these models, author Doug Mitchel provides four to six paragraphs describing the bike in general terms including difference and similarities between the model being discussed and other similar models. In addition, bullet points for each model will include the following information: cost to acquire the project; value when finished; which bikes/models should not be restored due to declining value; and where to find the frame and engine numbers. This new book will also include what to look for when checking the condition of items like the paint and decals, chrome, seat, rubber parts, and suspension. A general section at the back of the book will offer the reader help deciding where to buy classic bikes, where to get parts, who to call for help, and which parts of the restoration should be farmed out to experts with specific skills.

    • fantastic book

      I am, and have been a Honda owner for over 30 years. I may be "Biased" however I really enjoy this book. I've owned several Honda's over the years. I've read this from cover to cover within the first 3 days. Just enjoy it so much. These UJB's/ Or is it UJM's? Love 'em , they're great!!
