What is a rickshaw? How does a moped work? How fast can a superbike go? Motorbikes looks at motorbikes that are used for travel, work, and fun. Patrol bikes help the police keep the streets safe. Scooters carry people to work in many countries. Other motorbikes, like motocross bikes, are built to go over rough, bumpy ground. Book jacket.

Motorbikes have the ability to be the world's greatest, if we want to build them in such a way. Find out why these machines are considered the greatest in the world. This title is filled with detailed facts and stunning color photography.

Describes high performance motorcycles.

Examines a variety of powerful motorcycles, including dirt bikes, custom bikes, and desert racers.

Motorbikes can give you access to most areas on the farm. Not all motorbikes are the same and not all operators are the same size; some machines are more suited to certain tasks or riders than others. This book helps you get the most out of your bike. It covers safety, pre-start checks, driving in various terrains like slopes, water, mud and sand, as well as loading and transporting, servicing, and care for the environment.

From scooters to sports bikes and everything in between! Find all about 30 different types of bikes and motorbikes - choppers, BMX bikes, cruisers and many more - in this beautifully illustrated and annotated first guide. Includes a fun spotter's chart to fill in!

Although they may look like simple components, the motorbike fork plays a critical role in the overall dynamic behaviour of motorcycles. It must provide appropriate stiffness characteristics, damping capabilities and the lowest sliding friction values in order to guarantee as much performance, safety and comfort as possible to the rider. Front Motorbike Suspensions addresses the fundamental aspects of the structural design of a motorbike fork. Utilizing the authors' many years of experience in this industrial research topic, Motorbike Suspensions provides useful design rules and applied mechanical design theories to optimize the shape of motorbike suspension. Overall structural considerations are explored alongside specific aspects including how bolted and adhesively bonded joints design can be applied to these components. R&D designers in the motorcycle industry who would like to improve their knowledge about the structural design of motorbike suspension will find Motorbike Suspension a concise and coherent guide to this specific feature. Whereas, undergraduates and graduates in industrial engineering matters may use this as a case study for an interesting application of the theories learned from machine design courses.
