That Jim Redman is one of the true greats of motorcycle racing is indisputable. With six World Championship titles and six Isle of Man TT wins to his credit, as well as being both captain and manager of the Honda race team, Redman's record is incredible.Born in London in 1931, he emigrated to Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, in 1952 and it was here that his racing career began. His greatest successes came during the early to mid-1960s when he dominated the 250cc and 350cc World Championships and scored his TT victories. An injury at the 1966 Belgian Grand Prix preempted the decision to retire at the height of his fame and success.Jim Redman - Man of Steel, with a foreword written by Redman himself, returns to those glory days of thrills and spills on the track, with a selection of rare photographs and first-hand anecdotes which bring the golden age of motorcycle racing sharply back into focus.

A classic superbike is a motorcycle which has universal appeal, regardless of your age or riding experience. It¿s the bike you dream of riding - or dream about having a dream about riding! Classic Superbikes are achingly desirable even to non-motorcyclists. Bikes like this are inspirational, in a loin-tingling way, and their stories need to be told with passion, enthusiasm and flair. These are not bikes for the measured tone and the meticulous recording of fuel consumption figures. Classic superbikes are about laying your life, or marriage, on the line just for the chance to ride one. In this book every chapter fizzes across the page like a rogue firework, engaging the reader and leaving them wanting more.
