This XL double volume provides an unrivaled curation of the ultimate collector motorcycles of all time. From super-rare pioneer bikes, venerated British classics and German speed machines to lightning-fast Japanese racers, groundbreaking Italian superbikes, and highly radical road rockets, this book is a dazzling celebration of motorcycle design and engineering at its innovative best.

From the 1894 Hildebrand & Wolfmüller to the 2020 Aston Martin AMB 001, this book lavishly explores 100 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 Dario Ambrosini, Tarquinio Provini, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Barry Sheene, and Kenny Roberts.

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.

Ultimate Collector Motorcycles, in this Famous First Edition, limited to 9000 numbered copies, has 940 pages.
