Motorcycles - 40th Edt. Book

Machines that take the imagination on a journey through time and space: from the German Hildebrand & Wolfmüller of 1894 to the British Aston Martin AMB 001 produced in 2020, this work honours the 50 most remarkable motorcycles ever to lap a track or conquer the open road.

This magnificent book brings together record-breaking pioneers, luxury touring bikes, legendary Grand Prix winners, technical milestones and extraordinary one-offs that unite form and function at the highest level. Many examples are rarely seen pieces found only in private collections, while others are undisputed stars displayed in famous motorcycle museums, such as the 1938 Brough Superior Golden Dream or the 1956 John Surtees-ridden world champion MV Agusta 500 4C.

Alongside early survivors preserved in astonishingly original condition, the collection also includes impressive racing machines ridden by legendary riders such as Tarquinio Provini, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini and Barry Sheene.

The fascinating stories behind these extraordinary machines are told in detail and supported by striking images taken especially for this book by leading motorcycle photographers. Rare material such as historic posters and action-packed archive photographs is also included.

A true treasure for motorcycle enthusiasts, this work is a collectible must-have!
