Hi Folks,

After a l-o-n-g spell away from motorcycling (22 years) I recently got back into riding. No problems, bikes still seem to work just as they did 22 years ago except now perhaps technically supperior and different looks Wink

What I am looking for is some pointers to web-sites or books, video's or whatever which describe the fundamentals behind the design of modern road-bike motorcycle frames and general frame layaout.

Seems to be enough technical information or "how to's" for repair and maintenance on both frame and engine but I am looking more for discussion on frame design and design criteria and how it relates to handling and road holding etc.

If anyone has any favourite book titles, youtube vid's or web-sites on the subject which they would like to share then I would be interested to hear about them please.

Thanks for reading.

Regards,

Peperami

Hi again,

I see that my original posting has been read a number of times but with no pointers to information but...

I spent an hour or so on Sunday morning and found some of the answers I was looking for by using the following search string in google...

all about motorcycle geometry

The result was a list of usefull references including the following...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle_geometry

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_fork

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle_dynamics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_(motorcycle)

https://www.tonyfoale.com/

https://www.sportrider.com/art-science-fun-geometry

https://www.sportrider.com/all-about-geometry

https://sportbike.natkd.com/motorcycle_geometry_101.htm

Hope you find it as interesting as I did.

Regards,

Peperami
