Dream Rides: The most impressive book about motorcycles on the planet. From the 1894 Hildebrand & Wolfmüller to the 2020 Aston Martin AMB 001, this book richly explores 100 of the most desirable motorcycles that have raced on tracks or open roads. Stunning pioneers, luxurious touring models, legendary road rockers, machines that have won GPs, iconic superbikes, and exotic custom models celebrate motorcycle design and engineering at a high level. Many of these come from recognized private collections and are rare. Others are the stars of well-known motorcycle museums, like the 1938 Brough Superior “Golden Dream” or the 1957 MV Agusta 500 4C, which led John Surtees to World Championship glory. Along with early models in stunning original condition, there’s a stable of legendary racing machines that have been contested by Dario Ambrosini, Tarquinio Provini, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Barry Sheene, and Kenny Roberts. The exciting stories behind these remarkable motorcycles are recorded in detail, accompanied by impressive images specially taken for the book by top motorcycle photographers. Rare archival pieces from early posters to notable action photographs are also included. Features a foreword by the legendary Jay Leno and interviews with key figures in the field, such as George Barber, founder of the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, and Sammy Miller, founder of the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum. A treasure trove in the world of motorcycles and an absolute must-have for all motorcycle enthusiasts!
