A Good Book for Beginners

A really good book for beginners and a not to bad book for experienced riders. I recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about buying a bike or whose love one is about to buy a bike. This book is chock full of information, starting out with trying to answer the question ride or not ride and then going on to explain how to pick the right bike; how to buy a used or new bike; basic motorcycle maintenance; and safety tips.

Excellent book for beginners and entry - level

A great book for anyone who is curious about becoming a rider. The author was very informative and answers almost all questions that a beginner/entry-level person would have. I highly recommend this book to any beginner, like me. : )

A must have for the beginner

I recently got into motorcycling, and this book was an invaluable resource. It helped me pin down what I wanted from motorcycling and what kind of bike was right for me.

Excellent books for people who want to get into motorcycling

This book starts from scratch. I bought it before I got my first motorcycle. The author begins with reasons not to get involved in motorcycling. If you pass this chapter, then you know that motorcycling, and this book is for you. Speaking in terms that someone who hasn't been in the sport can understand, the author then describes all the different types of motorcycles availible, how to go about finding one, and making sure you get a good deal, new or used. He then tells you how to take care of the new addition to the family. As I said, I got this book before I got my first motorcycle, and this book was a tremendous help to me in choosing what was right for me, and taking care of it. I'd recommended it to ANYONE who is thinking about getting into motorcycling. For those who are already in motorcycling, this book will be a good reference manual for common occurances, or when you get a new motorcycle

A BestBuy

This "really" is a complete guide to motorcycles. It helps you to decide if this sport is for you, describes the various types of motorcycles and advises on the purchase of new and used bikes. Maintenance and safe riding practices are discussed in enough detail to be helpful. There is a very useful section for women riders. Every rider or wannabe should have this book
