| "MotoGP Technology" For $17
192 pages, hardcover, hundreds of photos and illustrations, Probably the best-selling MotoGP book of all time: a chronicle of the fire-breathing 990 MotoGP monsters. From Bull Publishing: When the formula for Grand Prix motorcycle racing changed in 2002 from 500cc two-strokes to a new breed of high-tech, 260bhp 990cc four-strokes, the intent was to create the Formula One of motorcycling. And so it has. These prototype bikes represent the highest expression of motorcycle technology and are literally state-of-the-art machines. Competition is keen, and factory teams guard their mechanical secrets and working practices very carefully. For these reasons it has been nearly impossible to closely examine bikes without bodywork, or to understand exactly how they are engineered and developed-until this book.Buy All Three Black Friday Books: the '06 and 07 Season Review books & MotoGP Technology

PayPal Author Neil Spalding's ability to spot subtle detail changes and incremental developments from the restricted confines of pit lane--and then to correctly determine how these modifications affect performance--earned him the grudging respect of top teams. Eventually, Neil was admitted into the inner sanctum of the elite racing departments and given unparalleled access to explore and photograph race bikes to prepare this book. The only restriction: He couldn't reveal his information until the end of the 2006 season, the last year of the 990cc formula. The bikes carefully analyzed here are Honda's RC211V, Yamaha's M1, Ducati's Desmosedici, Suzuki's GSV-R, and Kawasaki's ZX-RR, plus the bikes from Team Roberts, WCM, Aprilia, and Moriwaki. This is the exciting story, told from the inside, of the most electrifying form of two-wheeled competition, and of the highly motivated designers, engineers, and mechanics who create these remarkable motorcycles.$17 plus $3 for shipping (SORRY, US ORDERS ONLY) Purchase here via PayPal
