Book Description
Written for everyone from motorcycling greenhorns to technical experts, this illustrated tour of motorcycle physics and mechanics offers a complete presentation of concepts which have never before been so thoroughly and comprehensibly presented in print. After examining the physical phenomena that govern the handling of a motorcycle, the text goes on to explain the various types of components that come together and make the bike go. Applicable to all makes and models, a generous selection of illustrations and photographs help readers visualize the topics at hand, allowing them to hit the saddle with a more complete awareness that enhances the riding experience.

Translation malfeasance,
By
This review is from: Motorcycle Design and Technology Handbook (Paperback)
I've only just started reading, so most of this review is based upon visual impression.The graphs, charts, and diagrams look clear, the text easy to read. However, the translation could have found a better word than "couple" in chapter 4. Especially since "moment" (or even "force") is a much clearer fit -- try it, substitute either word for "couple" in "... you will feel is the action of a couple on your arms..." Hopefully, this is the most egregarious problem in the translation.

This is a book on physics as it relates to motorcycles,
By A Customer
This review is from: Motorcycle Design and Technology (Hardcover)
This is a good book if you want to read about the physics of motorcycles and the different technologies but it is not a design book. It has a lot of formulas (know your greek alphabet) but the math is simple. I found this book interesting but now I still need to find a book on design of motorcycles.

No More Misconceptions,
By Madhatter (Makati, Rizal Philippines) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Motorcycle Design and Technology (Hardcover)
Have you ever wondered why your motorcycle's handling changed from the way you intended? This book will clear up all your misconceptions and guide you towards your desired specific task. This is a book for graduate school designers, but presents information that is easily understood. This is brain food for the technicallly inclined.
