John Wyatt - Original Honda CB750
« on: August 27, 2014, 08:52:13 pm »
I see that Amazon has the John Wyatt book available at a realistic price now.
Initially, they were selling for around the 50 Dollar mark about 15 years ago and then the price went right through the roof as they became hard to get.
The book has a lot of good photographs and also has some very interesting reading.

The book dates from 1998, so the knowledge was still fresh ;)
There are magnificent photos , inside and out, of every type and model of CB750 sohc made, with the technical description, and I haven't found any slip ups or mistakes in the entire book!
