From early record breakers and luxury tourers to street and Grand Prix racers, legendary production superbikes, and exotic customs, this book celebrates the very best of motorcycle design and engineering. Many models come from renowned private collections and have rarely been shown. Others are the undisputed stars of the world's greatest motorcycle museums—like the 1938 Brough Superior "Golden Dream" or the 1957 MV Agusta 500 4C, which carried John Surtees to World Championship victory. The astonishingly well-preserved relics sit alongside a stable of legendary sports cars ridden by riders such as Tarquinio Provini, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini and Barry Sheene.
The captivating stories associated with these fabulous motorcycles are told in detail and illustrated with photographs from the greatest photographers of the genre, taken especially for this publication, as well as gems from various archives, from posters promoting the first races to photos taken in the heat of the race.
A wealth of two-wheeled gems and a must-have book for all motorcycle fanatics.
