Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Written and produced in the style of MBI's bestselling How To Restore Your Collector Car, this comprehensive and completely illustrated hands-on guide will help enthusiasts restore virtually any make of motorcycle. Organized around major sub-assemblies such as engines, frames and suspension, wheels and tires, brakes, and bodywork, the text and its accompanying photo sequences explain the fundamentals of repair, likely sources for parts, when to repair and when to replace, and reasonable performance updates. Great care is taken to offer advice that is applicable to American, British, German, Italian, and Japanese bikes-the latter of which have previously gone largely unaddressed. The result is a wealth of information for four-strokes of all configurations (V-twins, in-line fours, singles, etc.) and two-stroke classics. An appendix features an extensive resource list and bibliography.

How to Restore Your Motorcycle (Motorbooks Workshop)
Anybody from the complete novice (as i was) to the seasoned veteran would do well to consider purchasing this book prior to commencing a motorcycle restoration. It is filled with easy to read direction and photos to help out along the way. I have no mechanical aptitude, but a keen interest in doing it myself, with this book i now also have the necessary guidance to help me learn "how to" do it and do it right the very first time. What impressed me most is the way the book was written so that any "idiot" or novice can with a bit of brain power,understand the basics with just a hint of humour thrown in. I can not recommend enough how useful this title is for anyone with, or interested in maintaining or breaking into the growing hobby of motorcyle restoration. Great reading even without a bike!

As someone in the middle of my very first bike restoration, I can only say I wished I had read it before I puchased my two wheeled train wreck. Very good book, I recommend it for beginners or people like me who find themselves in water a bit over their heads. I would rate it a 5 star, but the subject matter of bike motorcycle restoration is very broad, and sometimes the book left me wanting deeper information.

If you're in the market to restore a motorcycle this book is a good companion to the the shop manual of the motorcycle you are planning to restore.

Very good and helpful information. Although the book has some great information and tips it is not designed for the complete novice (and the author will tell you as well).
Personally, I am more interested in restoring Japanese bikes where as this book tends to focus a little on British bikes, however it contained a ton of valuable tips and made my projects easier and more enjoyable.
Oh, one last point ... I liked the authors style and it was ease to read and I enjoyed going back to it as I needed more ideas.
