Japanese Custom Motorcycles is the first book to show the evolution of the Japanese cruiser in the ''metric'' custom scene.The growing trend of customising metric bikes into choppers, bobbers, et al - be they high-end bikes, garage-built beauties, or more recent Japanese cruisers - is superbly illustrated with examples from all over the world.Featuring owner''s stories and technical descriptions, Japanese Custom Motorcycles is guaranteed to interest metric bike fans and members of the custom scene alike.From singles, twins, triples, fours, and sixes - see the custom side of Japanese motorcycles.

Many books have been published about Italian motorcycles, but none has focused exclusively on the Italian motorcycle-based chopper, bobber, trike, and quad custom bike scene - until now.Even though customising is not normally associated with Italian brands, there are some fantastic individually-built Italian custom bikes out there, old and new. In recognition of the trend, Ducati entered into a new market segment when it launched its power cruiser Diavel in November 2010, while Moto Guzzi has its Aquila Nero range ... these and many other custom-style bikes have been well-received in the customs scene.This book looks at some of the fascinating custom projects around the world, accompanied by stunning photography of the finished bikes. A great book for Italian bike fans, and fans of the custom bike scene in general.
