In 2010, legendary Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Suzuki celebrated 50 years of international racing – a proud heritage which started at the Isle of Man TT in 1960.

This fascinating book, written by Elwyn Roberts with Raymond Ainscoe, charts the first seven years of Suzuki at the TT, combining fabulous photos from the period with well-researched, fascinating and thoroughly readable text.

Alongside a wealth of rarely-seen archive photos, Suzuki at the TT Races 1960-1967 recounts the story behind Suzuki’s involvement in each TT festival of this period, with results, detailed accounts of the races and wonderful behind-the-scenes anecdotes. There are also profiles of the most notable Suzuki riders of the period, including Ernst Degner, Hugh Anderson and Alastair King.

Suzuki at the TT Races 1960-1967 includes a foreword written Frank Perris, Suzuki team captain from 1962 to 1966.
