The Superbike World Championship for modified "production" bikes
was inaugurated way back in 1988, with high performance machinery
normally destined for the road taking to the tracks for the first
time to dispute a full championship season. The American Fred
Merkel riding a Honda won the first two editions in 1988 and 1989.
This was followed by a Ducati triple with titles for Raymond Roche
in 1990 and Doug Polen in 1991 and '92. In the years that followed
the likes of Carl Fogarty, Troy Corser, Colin Edwards and Troy
Bayliss came to the fore aboard equally well-known bikes also raced
in the same period by Pier Francesco Chili, perhaps the best-known
Italian Superbike rider prior to the advent of Biaggi and Melandri.
These 25 years are revisited for the first time in an official book
that, season by season, reviews the technical, sporting and human
stories of each championship through the ever-accurate texts of
Claudio Porrozzi and above all the spectacular images of his
brother Fabrizio, for years the official SBK World Championship
photographer. Championship standings and statistics complete a book
that is sure to be source of reference for all fans.
