Product Description
Product Description
Aimed at the enthusiast who would like to gain a greater understanding of the technical and design questions facing MotoGP constructors, this fascinating book provides detailed analysis of the cutting-edge technology and the bikes used in the sport's premier class today. Each area of a racing motorcycle's design is explained in down-to-earth language, and separate chapters for each manufacturer trace the development of each machine through to the detailed specification of the current version. For this second edition the book has been updated to include the developments of the first three years of MotoGP's 800cc formula, which was introduced for 2007.
About the Author
Former team owner Neil Spalding, who raced motorcycles for over 25 years, runs Sigma Performance, a specialist Ducati workshop and website. He is well-known in the MotoGP paddocks and pit lane as he attends most races as a journalist, writing for Motor Cycle News among others.

Format:Hardcover
A beautiful book with some excellent photographs and illustrations. It covers some of the more in depth technology used by all the manufacturers from mighty HRC to the lowly WCM without getting into anorak territory. There are also short chapters on Electronics, Chassis, Suspension, Brakes, Tyres & Aerodynamics. All in all an excellent book and nice to have as a reference, now that the 990cc era is at an end.

I had purchased the first edition of MotoGP covering the 990cc years,and once I heard that the second edition was to be released, I immediately put in my order. Have just received the book,and, in my opinion, its even better than the first edition
.
Photographs, drawings, articles ..... everything is superb.
If you are into MOTOGP, you owe it to yourself to purchase both editions .

I bought this after listening to the author during Eurosport commentary (boy am I going to miss them next year) and was impressed enough to buy the book. Some of the stuff is obvious, but even that is made flesh by Neil placing it in the context of making this man-machine hybrid go fast.
The only way this book could be improved is by bringing it up to date in the 800cc era of MotoGP. If he does that, I'd happily pay again.
