A trip through time – outfitted with splendid images, detailed diagrams, and data sheets – that will lead bike enthusiasts through the sounds and smells, the anecdotes and tales, to the purest essence of motorcycling.

- All the models that have made motorcycling history.

About the Author
Fascinated from a very early age by everything with wheels and an engine, Andrea Rapelli learned how to transmit his own passion to others. After high school, he started to write for Panoramauto and EVO Italia, where he still works today. In spite of the fact that he deals mainly with automobiles, he is an avid biker: he couldn't live without the feel of the air on his skin, the smell of the asphalt,= or those aromas from nature that you can only get from being on two wheels. Currently, he also works for the website motorbox.com and for the monthly Autorama, where he is engaged mainly with road tests.
