great book !

I wish there were more books like this one on motorcycles. It worth its weight in gold. Too many of motorcycle books trying to compensate for a lack of originality and content by a gloss paper and meaningless pictures.

Great resource in preparing for trackdays!

I'd heard about this book from a friend, and when I got a copy and began reading it I found that it includes a really good mix of serious info about performance riding skills combined with some really easy to follow instructions that helped me in setting up the suspension on my Ducati 996. Even though I'm not a great wrench my buddies and I were able to get our bike's working amazingly better by following the suspension setup steps from the book. The combination of info that the author put into this little book is something that's started to fill some of the gaps that I've found in my own knowledge since I started getting off the street last year and testing my riding at a few track days. I'd suggest this book to riders that want to know more about how to make themselves and their bike better prepared for going fast. I found it to be good stuff that opens the door and made me think more about my own riding.

Lots of insights on riding, and AWESOME suspension section!

Doing more and more trackdays with my CBR929 these days I'm always looking for new resources to find tips on improving my riding. Many of the existing how-to books have been helpful in my riding improving but I found that the deeper look that the author provides on some more advanced techniques in this second generation Sportbiking 2 book are right on the money. Trail braking is something I've wanted to try to learn to master and I found the detailed description of the exact process in this book will really help me in putting it to use at my next trackday.Being over 220 pounds I've always known that the suspension my my 929 could be improved but didn't have a lot of comfort in messing with it. I was always afraid I'd only make it worse. I was stoked to see an entire section of this book devoted to explaining the exact steps that I need to do to make my suspension right. The info was very clearly written and with a friends help we did all the settings and I was really amazed at the improvement. Good stuff!
