The first GSX-R was created in 1985 as a groundbreaking departure from the ponderous sportbikes of the day. That revolutionary motorcycle took a time-honored racing credo to heart: light is right. (And another one: It can never be too fast.) Never before had the performance and design of a race bike been so faithfully carried over to the street. In the seven generations since, Suzuki has remained true to the concept of the original GSX-R: to build the most serious, track-worthy sportbike. What's more, the company's engineers have been relentless in their pursuit to refine and improve the bike.
This book evaluates and reviews the development and application of the air quality management process from a European, North American and Australian perspective. The contemporary approaches and experiences described provide a critical assessment of practice as well as important pointers to the future development of air quality management regimes.
