The essential exploration of the design, history, and culture of
the motorcycle - an icon of the machine age Motorcycles are
ubiquitous in the world's streets and cities, evolving over decades
in engineering and design to meet individual transportation needs.
With the coming demise of the internal combustion engine and the
rise of electric-powered vehicles, motorcycle design is being
revolutionized by new technologies, the demands of climate change,
and global social transformation. The book showcases 100 superb
examples of motorcycle design from the late 19th century to the
present and then on beyond to the technological innovations of the
future. The essays and texts accompanying each image have been
written by internationally renowned motorcycle experts, Professor
Charles M. Falco and Ultan Guilfoyle, who reveal the motorcycle's
influence on realms as diverse as film, fashion, sport,
advertising, and technology. Beautifully illustrated with specially
commissioned photography and archival ephemera, the engaging text
will prove compulsive reading for design lovers and motorcycle fans
alike. A must-have companion, The Motorcycle, Design, Art, Desire
traces the exciting evolution of this automotive icon - and the
culture of desire, freedom, and rebellion that surrounds it.
