Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This text details the first ten years of the World Superbike Championships, from Steve "Motormouth" McLaughlin and the birth of Superbike racing in the USA, to the 1997 title chase. It gives year-by-year coverage, from Flyin' Fred Merkel in 1988 to Foggy, returning to Ducati in 1997. The political manoeuvres involving the Japanese, McLaughlin and the New Zealand company that went bankrupt just before the 1990 season started are described, as is the advent of the Flammini Group and the spread into the Pacific Rim. The book also gives details of: the champions of Superbike racing including Fred Merkel, Raymond Roche, Doug Polen, Scott Russell, Carl Fogarty and Troy Corser; the bikes - Honda, Ducati, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Bimota; and the results, records, championship standings, circuits and lap records.
