I've been riding for about 6 years and bought this book to loan out to prospective riders. Overall, it's not a terrible introduction to the subject matter and fun to read, but light on meaningful content -- representative of this series, IOW. After reading what is not a thin volume, you will be hard pressed to think of anything in this book that you wouldn't have picked up by reading the MSF literature (free!) and the buyer's guide issue of Motorcyclist magazine ($3!). The writer also shows little interest in bike trends and popular sentiment. He extolls the virtues of centerstands, hydraulically actuated valves, and shaft drive and suggests all beginners should buy bikes with these features -- ignoring that only a small fraction of the bikes produced in the past 15 years even have these features. He also suggests that a Katana 600 would be too much bike for almost any beginner, which is complete nonsense. I sympathize with his concern that people looking for thrills get in way over their heads by making their first bikes R1's, but exaggerating the power and dangerousness of sportbikes vs. other bikes is not responsible or honest writing. Also, his love for obscure Japanese standards is something I share, but I do not think it should color the entire book, which is ostensibly targeted at lay persons who probably want to get their hands on a Road King or CBR929. To that end, I do not believe the book at all does a good job explaining why people should not start off on such bikes, other than general and vague statements about difficulty of control. In my opinion, it won't hurt a beginner to read this book, but for what it is it's not particularly good value nor especially insightful.
