Any books you recommend for someone new to motorcycles?
A twist of the Wrist by Keith Code. Basically a road racing manual but how to move thru traffic.
Proficient motorcycling by David Hough
If you don't know anything about motorcycles, there are three books that I would recommend you pick up. 1) A Twist Of The Wrist 2) A Twist Of The Wrist 2 These two books will help you understand riding more than just getting in the seat and how to work the gears. They'll help you understand the physics of going around curves, turns, using brakes and riding in general. 3) Your Service Manual Granted, this is a different reason. I only suggest this if you want to work on your bike. If you plan on just taking it to your bike's service center, then you can ignore this one. Otherwise, it's very helpful in fixing up your bike and doing repairs on it.
