Superbike 2012-2013 The Official Book

Product description

The Italian rider Max Biaggi, already winner of the 2010 title, triumphed in the 2012 World Superbike Championship aboard the Italian Aprilia. Second and third places in the standings went to Tom Sykes aboard a Kawasaki and to Marco Melandri, in his second year in the SBK series, riding a BMW. Once again, this edition of the Superbike World Championship Official Book is intended as the reference volume for the world of production-derived” racers, the bikes that have for many years now represented the beating heart of motorcycle sport, combining fierce competition with high technology, without neglecting the close ties with road-going machinery. Race by race, the book describes the 2012 season, above all through the spectacular photos taken by Fabrizio Porrozzi, complemented by the ever-pertinent texts of his brother Claudio. As well as reporting on the major championship, the book also features chapters devoted to the other categories (Supersport, Superstock 1000, Superstock 600) completing the packed World Championship programme.
