With extended coverage of the World Superbikes and reports on other national and international series including US road racing, and the World Endurance Championship, this annual records all the action, results and personalities from the motorcycle racing world. Despite the picture of Roberts on the cover (Oi! Where's Rossi?) this is the edition published in December 2001.

Keith Code's books allow you to analyse your riding step by step and move by move. A Twist of the Wrist II tackles motorcycle riding technology, and has techniques and tips that apply to fast road riding and track days as well as pure racing. This book is a firm favourite with the Race24 team; if you buy one book about riding a motorcycle make it this one.

Anyone who has ridden more than three bikes will know that there are differences - sometimes big differences - in the way they react. Anyone who has tinkered with suspension and tyres will know that it is possible to make big differences with small changes. And that other changes (usually the adjustment provided by the manufacturer) make practically no difference at all. It is a subject which is difficult to quantify, but John Robinson (the Old Beardy one from Performance Bikes) manages to succeed by combining his engineering, riding and writing skills.

Carl Fogarty's pull-no-punches auto-bigoraphy is reviewed on the Amazon site: "Even if you aren't a Foggy fan, this book is still an excellent account of one mans rise to the top. Buy it and I guarantee you won't be disapointed."
