Abstract
Analytical and experimental studies of the transient and oscillatory behavior of motorcycles are reported. Three example vehicles were used. The effects of adding load, changing operating conditions, and modifying the vehicle configuration are shown. The phenomenon known as cornering weave is illustrated and interpreted.
