Summary: Easy reading, great advice
Review: As a novice rider I purchased this book with the hope of gaining some expert advice. It was the perfect choice. The writing and advice is clear, concise, and easy to understand. Topics such as traction, throttle control, and turning techniques all helped me in gaining confidence on the road. This book should be required reading for all sport bike owners.

Summary: Good Stuff, Good reading...
Review: Excellent tips and techniques. Some pretty basic, but all worthwhile. Definite off season reading. Quality binding.
Unlike Keith Code's books which tend to be written in a very simplistic childlike style this is another book that gives you some credit and is actually relavent to street riders of all sorts.

Summary: Real World Skills
Review: Great book. Lots of big glossy pictures of current sport bikes. I consider it a resource book. I keep re-reading it and applying the lessons in the canyons. Especially liked sections on braking and throttle control. Looking forward to California SpeedWay in few weeks!

Summary: A Must read for New and Experienced Riders
Review: I am a new rider and my skills improved dramatically with each chapter. This book is an easy and quick read. In fact, its totally engaging. Nick shares his years of experience and demonstrates that safety and speed are not mutually exclusive. By taking his advice to heart, one can learn to feel the relationship that must exist between the rider, the machine and the pavement. Once understood and practiced, you'll be carving up the road as quickly and safely as possible. What a thrill! Experienced riders will appreciate that each chapter ends with a "Lesson's from the Racetrack" section. So the tips and/or refresers make this book a must read for any rider, in my humble opinion. If nothing else, its worth the price for the incredible photos. Enjoy and I'll see you on the coast. :-)

Summary: Good book for beginners.
Review: I bought this book based on a review in a sportbike magazine. When I got the book in the mail, I was really impressed with the layout and overall quality of the book. Nice, glossy pages with large pictures of modern sportbikes and easy to read text and captions. However, once I started reading it I noticed that the tips and techniques, while valuable, are really aimed at newer, less experience riders. Subjects are not discussed in the detail I was hoping for and issues like basic suspension set-up or advice on performance modification were not covered at all. I guess I was hoping for a "Twist of the Wrist 2" meets "Total Control..." meets "Sportbike Performance Handbook" type of book. Not even close. Still, I believe this is a very high quality piece of literature that can be enjoyed by both entry level and experienced riders alike.

Summary: Wonderful book for even pure beginners
Review: I picked up this book not knowing how to even turn on a Motorcycle properly....
But after reading it, I have gained a termendous amount of knowledge in the proper function of a sportbike.
Proper braking, proper turning and posture, safety procedures, etc.
I'd recomend this book to anyone who isn't gonna be satisfied with their sportsbike until they learn how to control it to its threshold of comfort and precision.
