Description
Motorcycles have always embodied freedom: freedom from the chains of gravity, the resistance of the wind, distances, and time. Conceived in the 19th century, the motorcycle was born in a world where the fastest way for a human to travel alone was to ride on the back of another living creature. On a motorcycle, there is only the rider and exposed machinery, roaring in violent combustion, speeding along a dusty road with nothing but the fumes of burning oil and the wind in their face as companions.
There is an undeniable fascination with motorcycles: their speed, their design, their legendary riders, and that factor of "cool" that is part of their magnetism. Motorcycles: The Impossible Collection is an anthology of the 100 most exceptional motorcycles of the 20th and early 21st centuries, ranging from the rarest to the most iconic. Among these brilliant machines are the 1948 Vincent Series Rapide, with which Rollie Freewin shattered the land speed record wearing nothing but a simple swimsuit; the legendary motorcycle from Easy Rider (1969) made famous by Peter Fonda; and the 1973 Harley-Davidson XR750, the preferred mount of Evel Knievel. This updated edition also includes new icons: the Dodge Tomahawk (2003), the Shinya Kimura Spike (2007), and the Bat Pod (2008) from the film The Dark Knight Rises.
