Abstract

A review of the literature relating to braking stability and handling of motorcycles was undertaken. Evidence of relationships between motorcycle characteristics and accidents was sought. Anecdotal evidence of operational problems published in user magazines was also reviewed. Experimental and analytical investigations of motorcycle dynamics, and the effects of accessories, tyres and machine modifications, was surveyed. Problem areas were identified and priorities for further research recommended.
