Another title has been added to this valuable series - curated by expert Giorgio Sarti - that helps us discover the motorbike production of the last century.
In the history of motorbikes, the 1910s and 1920s are extremely significant. Two-wheelers evolved and lost their connection with bicycles equipped with a simple applied engine.
The engines become more powerful and consequently the chassis and suspension also become stronger. The riding position changes with a sleeker riding position. In terms of look, the tank hung from the upper tubes of the frame, which connoted the two-wheelers of those years as 'under-bonnets', remained.
British motorbikes played an exceptionally important role on the market: there were dozens of brands and among them were names that would make history: BSA, Triumph, Norton, Matchless, AJS, Sunbeam, Rudge, Scott and Velocette. Not to mention the most fascinating of all, the Brough Superior, which was not for nothing the motorbike of Lawrence of Arabia.
Il grande libro delle moto inglesi anni 10-20 has 240 pages and hundreds of images, in colour and b/w.
