Condizione: New. AI (illustratore).

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - World Superbike was born from one of motorcycling's most powerful ideas: race machines should still carry the bloodline of motorcycles people could recognize, buy, tune, and dream of owning. From the first championship season in 1988 to the modern battles of Ducati, Kawasaki, Yamaha, BMW, Honda, Aprilia, Suzuki, and Bimota, the series turned production-derived superbikes into global racing icons. Production Racers tells the fact-based story of the FIM Superbike World Championship through the manufacturers, riders, circuits, machines, and regulations that shaped it. It follows Fred Merkel and Honda's first crown, Ducati's rise through the 851, 888, 916, 999, 1098R, and Panigale V4 R, the eras of Carl Fogarty, Troy Bayliss, Colin Edwards, Max Biaggi, Jonathan Rea, Toprak Razgatlioglu, Álvaro Bautista, and many others. It traces the battles between V-twins, V-fours, inline-fours, homologation specials, privateer grit, control tyres, electronics, rev limits, and the constant pressure to connect racing glory with showroom desire. This is the story of the championship that made road bikes heroic: a world of factory wars, national pride, brutal circuits, technical arguments, and motorcycles that became famous because they won where it mattered most-on the track.
