The Motorcycle: Design, Art, Desire

The essential exploration of the design, history, and culture of the motorcycle – an icon of the machine age

Motorcycles are ubiquitous in the world’s streets and cities, evolving over decades in engineering and design to meet individual transportation needs. With the coming demise of the internal combustion engine and the rise of electric-powered vehicles, motorcycle design is being revolutionized by new technologies, the demands of climate change, and global social transformation.

The book showcases 100 superb examples of motorcycle design from the late 19th century to the present and then on beyond to the technological innovations of the future. The essays and texts accompanying each image have been written by internationally renowned motorcycle experts, Professor Charles M. Falco and Ultan Guilfoyle, who reveal the motorcycle's influence on realms as diverse as film, fashion, sport, advertising, and technology.

Beautifully illustrated with specially commissioned photography and archival ephemera, the engaging text will prove compulsive reading for design lovers and motorcycle fans alike.  A must-have companion, The Motorcycle, Design, Art, Desire traces the exciting evolution of this automotive icon – and the culture of desire, freedom, and rebellion that surrounds it.

Fabrics Great, Size a little Big, Overall Pretty Good
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Navy
This suit was truly great, the size for the pants and the vest were pretty on point, maybe a little long for the pants. The jacket was way too big though compared to the rest. Overall pretty good suit for the price, very surprised at the build quality and faabrics.

Better than expected!
After reading the reviews about it being oversized, I was able to get the right fit that I wanted. It is on the thinner end as far as sweatshirts go, but I tend to run hot so I was quite pleased that I got a long sleeve shirt that didn’t make me sweat. Now, let me tell you about the quality …. For some reason I thought the design was just printed on it, but it’s not! The “jolly” is sewn on, and the stripes don’t look cheaper. I love the red banding at the neck, sleeves and waist. It’s so comfortable, and I got compliments on it all night. I would definitely buy it, or any of their own sweatshirts, again!

Runs big. Fabric is nice. Love the color
It's a nice color of green and feels great. I ordered a medium due to the reviews. It's a larger than a normal medium so it's slightly too small. I usually wear XL and sometimes L. So, it does run big. I returned it but probably will order a L.
