Classic Japanese Racing Motor Cycles by Mick Walker

Classic Japanese Racing Motor Cycles by Mick Walker

After World War II, the Japanese motorcycle industry sought to improve competitiveness in the export field against entrenched European marques and racing was seen as the obvious way to improve credibility and gain publicity. Walker looks at the men, the machines and the events.

Mick Walker's interest in motorcycling goes back to the early 1960s when he started racing while still in the RAF and had wins at most major circuits. He started his own business, Mick Walker Motorcycles, in 1969, importing Italian machines, and was a leading race sponsor during the 1970s, with his riders gaining numerous victories including the Manx Grad Prix and British Grand Prix. Mick has also been a successful tuner, coach and team manager and his list of riders includes 2004 World Super Bike champion James Toseland. In 1985 his first book was published and he has now written over one hundred titles. He lives in Cambridgeshire, England.
