Book contents :
- It starts by introducing the two men who were responsible for the project : Jacques Gardette the entrepreneur and Alain Chevallier the world famous engineer.
- Work then starts on the design of the engine on one side and the original cycle parts on the other side. This takes a long chapter which culminates with the introduction of three prototypes at the '97 Paris Show.
- The following chapter tells the development of the Roadster which leaves the prototype stage to reach that of production machine.
- In 1999, the building of motorcycles starts slowly at the factory whilst development continues on the Café Racer and Scrambler models which appear in pre-production guise at the '99 Paris Show.
- In April 2000, the Café Racer starts rolling off the production line. At the end of that year, pictures of the prototype Voxan racer appear in the press and the Scrambler is due to enter production stage within the next couple of months.
- There's also a chapter dedicated to a thorough technical description of the engine and cycle parts ; another takes the reader round the factory to follow the construction of a motorcycle. Café Racer and Scrambler models, as well as Thierry Henriette's VB1 Sport superbike, have each a specific chapter.
