A superbly illustrated chronicle of the most influential and innovative motorcycle models from the past one hundred years.
• Motorcycles connote freedom and free spirits. They have inspired songs like "Born to Be Wild" and have helped make the image of James Dean. They’ve come a long way from their ungainly two- and three-wheeled ancestors that first appeared in the late nineteenth-century.
• Packed with archival and specially commissioned photographs, this stunning volume traces the evolution of the motorcycle, documenting the major milestones in this illustrious history and spotlighting the most influential models that have emerged over the last century.
• Among the many manufacturers whose bikes are represented are BMW, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Moto Guzzi, Suzuki, Triumph, and Yamaha, all of which are showcased in hundreds of brilliant color photographs.
• Accompanying the extraordinary photographs are the stories behind the vehicles, with a wealth of technical information about each motorcycle.

"As in the past, today the motorcycle is a symbol of freedom, of cheerful, carefree trips. However, the motorcycle is also an advanced machine in a constant state of technical evolution. The adventure started during the second half of the 19th century with a coughing, unbalanced prototype. Then, with the birth of numerous car manufacturers some ventured, not always successfully, on also producing somewhat more reliable motorcycles. Over the years engineering and technological advances have given the motorcycle greatly improved performance, superior ergonomics, and more comfort for the rider. This volume presents a selection of 61 legendary and symbolic motorcycles, from the Harley Davidson Twin 1000 of 1913 to the Bimota DB7, enhancing the story with photographs and historical documents."
