Great book! Feb 18, 2008 By S. Bigliardi
This book was packed full of very useful information, and was a joy to read. I normally can't just sit down and read a book like this, I've got a very short attention span. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Motorcycles, 4th Edition (Complete Idiot's Guide to) had just enough humor packed in with all the information to keep me from being overloaded, and kept me looking forward to the next page. It took me less than a week of evenings to finish reading this, and I find myself re-reading sections every now and then.

Definitely a great book for the first-time rider. I own my own motorcycle now, and had a much better idea of what to expect thanks to this book.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Good book, but don't let it scare you. Oct 03, 2009 By Chuck R.
I found this book to be enjoyable and packed full with great information for the beginner but with a few more warnings than I think is necessary. It might be enough to frighten an already nervous beginner. The warnings about beginners needing to start with smaller bikes, progressing over time to an intermediate bike and then to a larger one, had me, as a beginner, a bit worried. I went straight to the big heavy weight Harley anyway, and the other information in this book helped prepare me to have many fun and safe rides.

Must have for any motorcycle rider Oct 16, 2008 By DMP "DMP"
An excellant book for beginners and also useful for veteran motorcyclists. Information on buying a motorcycle, types, engines, recomendations. Information and names of where to purchase your safety gear and excessaries. Basics on driving a motorcycle and maintenance basics to. Absolutely a must have book if you have or plan to buy a motorcycle.

Motorcycle idiot's bible May 15, 2009 By O.S.
This book is as useful as entertaining, and a must for the not-so-experienced motorcyclist. From models over safety to maintenance, it is all in there.

Good intro, needs a little editing Nov 27, 2008 By Dan Breeden "ConcoursRider"
Fun book that covers a huge amount of motorcycling info, without diving very deep into any particular area.

There's very little here that you won't find on a variety of internet sites that cater to new riders, but at least it's well packaged.

One thing I found disappointing was the description of how to actually start and ride a bike. The description on page 147 mixes up the left and right controls and would have you pressing up on the rear brake (right side) while operating the clutch and trying to put the bike into gear. Whoops -- clutch levers AND pedals are on the left.

Still, it's worth $15.
