More than seventy years of history, technology, champions and unforgettable rivalries. Nico Cereghini takes us on a journey through some of the most extraordinary motorcycles in Grand Prix racing history, sharing anecdotes, technical insights and remarkable achievements that have inspired generations of enthusiasts.

The journey begins with Leslie Graham's AJS Porcupine 500, winner of the inaugural premier-class World Championship in 1949, before moving on to the extraordinary Moto Guzzi V8 designed by Giulio Cesare Carcano, an engineering masterpiece that remains astonishing even today. Then come the six-cylinder MV Agusta, the Norton Manx, and the legendary Gilera and Benelli racing machines.

The story continues through the two-stroke revolution, featuring Giacomo Agostini's 1975 World Championship-winning Yamaha, the Suzukis ridden by Barry Sheene and Franco Uncini, and the iconic 500cc machines of the 1980s and 1990s: Eddie Lawson, Kevin Schwantz, Mick Doohan and John Kocinski's Cagiva.

There is also room for some of racing's most ambitious engineering experiments, including the three-cylinder Aprilia RS Cube and the Ilmor X3, before reaching the stars of modern MotoGP: Valentino Rossi, Casey Stoner, Marc Márquez, Fabio Quartararo and Pecco Bagnaia, whose Desmosedici brought the world title back to Borgo Panigale in 2022.

A fascinating collection of extraordinary motorcycles, personal memories and lesser-known stories. Because every machine on display is more than a mechanical masterpiece: it's a piece of motorcycling history.
