Made in Italy: Design Houses That Forged the Superbike

Made in Italy is the definitive narrative history of how Italian motorcycles became the world's most beautiful, technically audacious, and culturally iconic superbikes. From the trellis-framed Ducati 916 to the hub-centre Bimota Tesi and the MV Agusta F4's sculptural inline-four, this book dives deep into the fusion of speed, style, and regional pride that shaped Italy's most revered two-wheeled machines.

Told through the rise and fall of marques like Ducati, MV Agusta, Bimota, Moto Guzzi, and Laverda, this book chronicles the designers, engineers, and visionaries who turned motorcycles into rolling works of art. It examines the aesthetic philosophies behind tank curves, tail sections, and livery, alongside the racing legacies that fuelled global obsession-from Imola '72 to MotoGP domination.

Complete with vivid storytelling, technical insight, cultural context, and a collector's guide, Made in Italy is for enthusiasts who believe a superbike should be felt in the chest and remembered like a sculpture.
