An Age of Superheroes (HB) - Description
Traction control? Engine management? Acres
of run-off? You’ve got to be joking: motorcycle racing's Age of Superheroes,
1988-93, was the nadir of two-stroke Grand Prix racing, when macho colonials
slugged it out on evil two-strokes capable of 200mph. Even Valentino Rossi acknowledges
this period as a special moment in motorcycle racing history, for he grew up watching Kevin
Schwantz, Wayne Rainey, Eddie Lawson, John Kocinski, Mick Doohan and Wayne
Gardner on TV as they bumped fairings and burned rubber around ultra-fast,
lethal racetracks. This lavish book is the first to cover this era of frighteningly
intense racing.
