by Mat Oxley

Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. This book explores what many race fans beleive to be the golden age of motorcycle grand prix racing. The era was characterised by scary two-stroke 500 GP bikes, renowned for ejecting riders at terrifying speeds. It took a special breed of bike racer to take these ground-attack missiles to the limit and byond - that's why these five men were road racing's superheroes:Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Rainey, Eddie Lawson, Mick Doohan and Wayne Gardner. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. Colour photos. 239 pages.

Narrow margin of uneven fading to top of front board. Small knock to top edge of boards. A few marks to contents (imprinting of ink from facing page) else contents bright. Black pictorial dustwrapper is lightly scuffed.
