Abstract

A theoretical and empirical view is taken of motorcycle lateral-directional dynamics, handling and rider control behaviour. The analytical development includes equations of motion for the vehicle and a multiple loop feedback model for the control response of the rider/cycle system. Connections with manual control and vehicle response data are shown. The effects of changing fork geometry, operating conditions, and tyre lag properties are discussed.
