Description

Synopsis
Many books have been published about Italian motorcycles, but none has focused exclusively on the Italian motorcycle-based chopper, bobber, trike, and quad custom bike scene – until now.
Even though customising is not normally associated with Italian brands, there are some fantastic individually-built Italian custom bikes out there, old and new. In recognition of the trend Ducati entered into a new market segment when it launched its power cruiser Diavel in November 2010, while Moto Guzzi has its Aquila Nero range ... these and many other custom-style bikes have been well-received in the customs scene.
This book looks at some of the fascinating custom projects out there, accompanied by stunning photography of the finished bikes. A great book for Italian bike fans, and fans of the custom bike scene in general.
Independent Reviews
"Italian Custom Motorcycles is focused more on the street/stunt/café part of the custom scene, but you'll find it all in here. This is 'Part 3' of what is now the four-part 'Custom' series by author Uli Cloesen and Veloce Publishing. Only Veloce has the guts to bring us something as off-beat as this series, so big props to them for having the guts to do it.
There are some beautiful photos in here and if this book doesn't perk up your interest and expand your horizons on what a custom or chopper can be, then it's time to give up the hobby."
