The Art of the Motorcycle

Illustrated with full-page and double-page photographs, this volume includes entries on over 100 spectacular bikes (BMW, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Indian, Triumph) as well as essays on the motorcycle in film, fashion, lifestyle and history by such life-long rebels as Hunter S. Thompson and Dennis Hopper. It includes such gems as the 1894 Hildebrand & Wolfmuller 1500xx, the pivotal BMW R32, the 1950s Honda 50 Super Cub, the quintessentially American 1977 Harley-Davidson XLCR, and the Ducati 916. New to the paperback edition is a 16-page illustrated section featuring the motorcycles that were added to the exhibition it accompanied, when it travelled to the Guggenheim Las Vegas.
