Sportbike Art

The sportbike is the only motorcycle designed around a number. Everything - the tuck, the fairing, the wing - exists to make a lap time smaller, and the result is the most aggressively beautiful shape on the road. The trouble with sportbike posters is that most are manufacturer marketing shots of someone else's litre bike, in a livery that dates within two seasons.

We take the other route. The Race Day series - The Sprint, Night Trophy - paints the racing itself in vintage poster style, no livery to date it, no licence to expire. And the Paint Shop makes the poster that matters: your bike, your plate, your tyre wear, as a painting or a blueprint or a race poster of its own, previewed free from one photo.

Track-day riders: a paddock shot works brilliantly - see the photo guide. Related: classic race machinery and the cafe racer, the original sportbike. From £34 delivered.
