Classic Superbikes From Around the World, Mac Mcdiarmid

Officially, the superbike was born in 1968.

But it didn't happen suddenly, and it certainly didn't stop there. 

Classic Superbikes From Around the World traces the development of the superbike during a period rich in two-wheeled history - from the awesome Vincent 1000 to the six-cylinder Benelli Sei.  Along the way it takes almost every conceivable engine configuration in hardware from 28 manufacturers in seven countries .  Some of it is radical, some sophisticated, and some almost comic.  But every one enjoys a place in the motorcycling classic hall of fame.
