Hyperbike Wars

What drives someone to chase 200 miles per hour on two wheels-with nothing but a leather suit and instinct between them and catastrophe? Hyperbike Wars is a high-octane, heart-pounding narrative journey through the machines, the minds, and the myths of the world's fastest motorcycles. From the backroom sketch sessions at Kawasaki in the early '90s to the street racers of Jakarta and Buenos Aires, from the wind tunnels of Bologna to the salt flats of Bonneville, this book captures the global obsession with speed in all its terrifying, beautiful glory. With vivid storytelling and firsthand accounts, Luca Carrera introduces the fearless riders, engineers, tuners, and underground legends who live on the edge of control-and sometimes cross it. Part cultural history, part adrenaline-fueled reportage, Hyperbike Wars isn't just for gearheads. It's for anyone who's ever wondered what waits at the end of the throttle. Would you twist it?
