Sport Riding Techniques: How to Develop Real World Skills for Speed, Safety and Confidence on the Street & Track
  "I believe in rider training and riding technology at all levels, whether you're racing for the MotoGP world championship or just enjoying a weekend ride. I know Nick has been writing about riding technique in the magazines for years, and I wholly endorse this book."
—Kenny Roberts, three-time Grand Prix champion
and leader of MotoGP's Team Roberts
Contemporary sport bikes accelerate faster, brake harder, and cut through corners deeper than ever before. These technologically advanced motorcycles are exilarating to ride, but to really get the most out of your motorcycle's performance capabilities you need to develop your own personal performance. You need to take your 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 you with the tools and techniques to help you analyze and develop your 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, Nich will teach you to safely find the absolute limit of bike and rider.
