Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Contemporary sport bikes accelerate faster, brake harder, and cut through corners deeper than ever before. These technologically advanced motorcycles are exhilarating to ride, but to really get the most out of a motorcycle's performance capabilities a rider must develop his or her own personal performance. Riders need to take their skills to the next level. Now, in this book written specifically for sport riders, well-known journalist, racer, and riding school instructor Nick Ienatsch provides the tools and techniques to help riders analyze and develop that personal performance. If you're an experienced rider, Nick will help you hone and perfect your skills, operate controls with even greater finesse, and apply race-proven techniques on the track—as well as on the street. If you're a beginning rider, Nick will show you how to develop proper skills and safety habits that will add to your motorcycling enjoyment and build your confidence. Whatever your current riding ability, Nick will teach you to safely find the absolute limit of bike and rider. First of all I must tell that I am a new rider, with just two years of riding experience including one year of compulsory training/riding. So what ever I write below is from this perspective. This is a great book for somebody who wants to improve his/her riding in every aspect and become a better rider, both for fun and safety. The text is plain and easily understandable even from people who English are not their mother language. The structure is clear, with basic and advanced riding techniques and examples, mainly for the road user but with tips for the track as well. This is not a story book. It is like a riding manual. You can even read its section separately (but it is much easier if you first read it once from start to end). You read it, you practise, you revise, you read again. It is a lot of knowledge packed there and somebody needs to read it again and again in order to 'unlock' all of it. Overall one of the best book I have read regarding riding properly a motorcycle The book is very well written and explain the various phases of riding with a lot of details and real life examples. The fact that motorbike has changed since the time the book was written does not change the basic of riding the bike properly and safely. I loved the book and find it extremely useful in my day to day riding in the city and on my riding days in the countryside. I read this book shortly after reading the police rider training. It is the perfect next step. It takes many of the points in the police rider training and advances on them. It also has a detailed track racing section. For a start it is a very easy read with large print and inspiring photographs. The book is as much about riding fast as riding safely and is brim full of brilliant training suggestions and riding methods. It is so full of information that I am reading it again a few pages at a time and practicing the contents on each next ride. A key discipline is his 100 points traction theory, which becomes the basis for many actions like trail braking, leaning and steering, raising skills to a very high level. You will end up a much safer rider after reading this book, where ever you choose to ride, track or public roads. If you put the lessons into practice, I am sure you will be faster, smoother and better rider. Hope this review helps you, and that you enjoy the book as much as I did. Moderne Sportmotorräder verfügen über immens leistungsfähige, temperamentvolle Motoren, ein spurtreues Fahrwerk, gute Reifen und präzise zupackende Bremsen. Wer das bei diesen Modellen zur Verfügung stehende Leistungsangebot auch nur annähernd beherrschen und sicher nutzen will, muss mit voller Konzentration bei der Sache sein und außerdem einiges an Erfahrung mitbringen. Neben einem klaren Blick für die Strecke benötigt der Sportfahrer vor allem ein feines Gespür für die Fahrzustände der Maschine und eine sehr sanfte...

If you needed one book, one guide, one voice to consult on almost any aspect of controlling a motorcycle, I would recommend this one. Ienatsch imparts his professional experience with clear, easy prose, and succeeds on every page delivering the message that superior riders are developed slowly, through faithful repetition of safe techniques and knowledge of one's limitations. If the roads we all have to ride together were full of riders who have absorbed his approach, we'd all ride with more confidence.
