Sport Riding Techniques: How to Develop Real World Skills for Speed, Safety, and Confidence on the Street and Track

by Nick Ienatsch, Kenny Roberts (Foreword)

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.

Buku ini mengajarkan banyak teknik tentang bagaimana cara mengendarai sportbike di jalan raya dengan baik, benar dan tentunya aman. Ternyata riding itu gak sembarangan lho. Setelah membaca dan mempraktekkan beberapa teknik dan tips dalam buku ini, ternyata banyak bermanfaat dalam menambah riding skill kita sekaligus road safety makin dipahami - juga baru sadar ternyata dari sekian banyak pengendara sepeda motor di Jakarta, banyak yg masih buta tentang teknik riding yg benar, kebanyakan asal nge-gas aja.

I had to read this book for certification. I am not much of a book learner but I really liked how it was written. I could easily grasp the concepts from reading it and a lot of the concepts made sense, even if I wasn't on a motorcycle trying it.

This is everything you want in a motorcycle book: an easy read, informative, well put together, clearly written. Ignore the fact that it was dated years ago - you'll pick up a lot of useful stuff here. I've personally preferred it to the Keith Code "Twist of the Wrist" series.

This, the Keith Code book, Parks, all motorcyclist books pretty much offer the same advice. But this was a bit more readable. Easier to understand. Think I got more out of it.

This is my Riding Bible, I've read it several times and re-read it as the riding season gets closer.
