1. Honda CB750 by Mick Duckworth highlights one of the most important bikes of the 1970s, and what is considered by many to be the original Superbike. Launched in 1969, Honda’s first four-cylinder roadster revolutionized the motorcycle market, setting new standards of sophistication, user-friendliness and reliable high performance. A mix of period photos and excellent contemporary studio and outside images brings the CB750 into focus as the important and beautiful bike is was and still is. Competition history is included, as is a section of CB750 offshoots like the Rickman CR750 and Honda’s own Super Sports version. A must for the committed CB750 fan. Price: $39.95.

2. Sooner or later, if you have a motorcycle, you’re going to need a trailer. The latest and greatest (and one we’re trying out here at Motorcycle Classics) is the Cruiser Trailer from Baxley Trailer Company. Based on the company’s popular ST001 Sport Bike Trailer, it’s a bit longer to accommodate larger motorcycles. It’s a simple and effective design that’s also relatively easy to assemble with just a few hand tools — and a buddy. We had ours together in about an hour and a half and were impressed with the quality. The frame is powder-coated box-section steel, and while it weighs just 315 pounds, it will haul an 850-pound cycle safely and securely. Very cool. Price: $2,400, plus shipping.

3. The Art of BMW by Peter Gantriis is a beautiful coffee-table book featuring brilliant, colorful photos of BMW’s classic models along with detailed descriptions of their features. But it’s not your typical year-by-year model history book. Instead, it collects 32 different BMW models, from 1925 on, and looks at them as objects of art, with BMW history the happy by-product of the examination. The older models come from the collection of well-known BMW enthusiast Peter Nettesheim, who is shown in his shop in the forward of the book. Price: $40.
