Book Motorcycles: Impossible collection by Assouline

Description

“Motorcycle enthusiasts, aesthetes and motorcycle enthusiasts will appreciate this collectible” - 1stdibs.com

There's an undeniable fascination with motorcycles - their speed, their design, their riders and their cool factor are all part of the magnetism. This exquisite deluxe volume, presented on cotton paper in a beautiful black rubber clamshell box with a die-cut metal plaque, is the latest addition to Assouline's Impossible Collection series.

The Impossible Motorcycle Collection is a collection of the 100 most exceptional motorcycles of the 20th century - from the rarest to the most renowned - each one unique. Some of these brilliant machines include the stunning and one-of-a-kind BMW R7, the 1948 Vincent Series Rapide on which Rollie Free broke the land speed record, wearing nothing but a swimsuit, the the iconic 1969 Easy Rider bike on which Peter Fonda was made famous, and the 1973 Harley-Davidson XR750, Evel Knievel's motorcycle of choice.

Motorcycle enthusiasts, aesthetes and enthusiasts will appreciate this collector's item.

Exclusive white gloves and canvas tote bag are included with every purchase of an Ultimate Collection book.
