I found this book very disappointing. I can't believe that the so-called reviewers actually read the book, because if they did, they couldn't have rated it this high. It is disjointed, poorly organized, and makes very little sense. I found it hard to understand exactly what this guy thought was a good investment. He also ignored many of the obviously collectible bikes that are out there now-- H2 Kawasakis, Sand-cast 750 Hondas, the Italian lightweights of the 50s and 60s, etc. I was not all that impressed with the author's knowledge of bikes or their values whatsoever. Beyond that, the writing and copy editing on this thing was beyond amateur. My 12 year-old knows more about sentence structure and punctuation!

Taylor Ford's book is a great primer for someone who is looking to get into collecting motorcycles. It gives you many good ideas on bikes that are likely to appreciate and gives you some idea what to pay. However, the real strength of the book is that Mr Ford makes some attempt to forecast what types of bikes will be in demand by collectors in the next 20 years. Whether his predictions actually come true is less important than the focus that it gives you in directing your collecting toward models which are easily available today that may be come tomorrow's hot item. This is a useful book for the serious collector, and even more so for someone who wants to become one.
