Description

Dream Rides: The most spectacular bikes on the planet. From the 1894 Hildebrand & Wolfmüller to the 2020 Aston Martin AMB 001, this book lavishly explores 50 of the most desirable motorcycles to have ever sped thrillingly around a circuit or along an open road. From pioneering record-breakers, luxury tourers, and legendary roadracers to GP-winning machines, iconic superbikes, and exotic customs, this book celebrates motorcycle design and engineering at its highest level. Many examples are from acclaimed private collections and very rarely seen. Others are the all-out stars of renowned motorcycle museums—such as the 1938 Brough Superior “Golden Dream” or the 1957 MV Agusta 500 4C, which took John Surtees to World Championship glory. Alongside some early survivors in astonishingly original condition is a stable of fabled racers—the actual machines that were competed on by the likes of Tarquinio Provini, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, and Barry Sheene. The fascinating stories behind these fabulous motorbikes are expertly recounted in detail, alongside stunning imagery specially taken for the book by the world’s leading motorcycle photographers. Also included are rare archival gems, from early posters to remarkable action shots. A cornucopia of motorcycle treasures and an absolute must-have for all bike enthusiasts! Read more

  • A fascinating and informative motorcycle history reference A fascinating and informative motorcycle history reference
Format: Hardcover
Motorcycles is a wonderful book on some interesting motorcycles through history. Of course, no reasonably sized book can cover every interesting or significant motorcycle since the machine was invented but the examples presented here are quite varied and come from all motorcycling eras through to the present. The book itself feels fine in hand and is a a good size to carry around and read out and about. The size does limit the actual size of the photographs presented but every photo and illustration is quite clear and full of detail. The only gripe would be that the introductory photo for each motorcycle presented is a two page spread which means the photo gets cut between the left- and right-hand pages. But this is the compromise with a book that can be easily carried in hand. The pictures for each motorcycle include not only the full two-page side shot and various close up detail shots, but also historical photos, marketing materials, and engineering drawings for most of the entries. There are illustrations throughout the book; every time there is a full page of text across it is full page photo. But even though Motorcycles is chock full of pictures it isn't simply a pictorial book. Every entry is accompanied by well a written history of not just the machine but of the personalities involved. This is a great book for the motorcycle enthusiast. ... show more
