THE MARQUE OF A LEGEND
- BIKES
1 x 56'
Giacomo Agostini, Geoff Duke, Barry Sheene, Wayne Gardner and Michael Doonhan, ride some of the classic racing bikes of our time.
Names such as Indian, Vincent, Norton,
Triumph and AJS. The G50 Matchless, Ducati and the dominance of Agostini and MV Agusta. Sheene is re-united with his Suzukis and Yamahas while Gardner and Doonhan test their 500cc Grand Prix Hondas in South Australia.
Today the sophistication of race machines has its way into the design of everyday road bikes. Machines are now often more powerful than the family car and its associated price tag greater.

Since the creation of the automobile, over one hundred years ago, man has been obsessed with the desire to go faster. Not just for its own sake, but to achieve total control of the
