Book Reviews of MotoGP Technology
Book Review: MotoGP Technology
Summary: 4 Stars
Lots of pictures and information. An encyclopedia of the 990 era. It should provide years of enjoyment.Book Review: MotoGP Technology explained
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent book describing the technology of GP motor racing. Oozed with colorful illustrations and in dept reviews of the technology used by the different teams. Not for the technological novice I think. The book resembles a lot the F1 books from Ian Bamsey in style and lay-out. I would like have seen more detailed the engine technology involved, but the author clearly had to scramble the breadcrumbs of data the team members left him littering.
As such, really an achievement among the tight lipped factory teams.

Book Review: The complexity of the motorcycle revealed
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the most fascinating things about motorcycles is how they manage to work. Two wheeled dynamics, steering left to turn right, reciprocating mass, inertia and how body position can have dramatic effects on the stability of a motorcycle. MotoGP technology explains it all in an arena where things are pushed farther and harder and with more financial backing than previous history, and shows that there is still a lot to learn about how this innocuously simple vehicle, the motorcycle, really works.
The information contained in this book will change the way you look at motorcycles, and particularly motorcycle racing. The technology, the money spent and the energy invested into this motor sport is captivating. The biggest flaw of the book is that it appears Spalding was under a great deal of pressure to get the book out quickly and there are quite a few errors in the text that were distracting. The brilliant photos and exceptional quality of the book more than make up for it. Spalding even goes into great detail explaining physics of motorcycle dynamics that changed the way I ride my motorcycle.
This book should be on the shelf of every sport motorcycle enthusiast, and every engineer-geek who loves to know more about how things work.
