I first read this book whilst learning to take my motorcycle test many years ago, as I wanted to learn how to ride a motorbike properly from the onset. I've since gone on to read, re-read and use this book and the subsequent DVD as a continual reference on how things work, and what a rider should do, as opposed to what his instincts might tell him to do.

It's fair to say that without this book I'd not have been able to progress to the level of rider that I've been able to become, I'd not have been switched on to my ability to make the bike stable and carve such beautiful lines as I've been fortunate enough to become.

The book though can be very hard work at times, the descriptions are sometimes very complex and tricky to understand, but with reviewing and re-reviewing, and working at it, it really does help make the complex understandable.

I think the book could probably do with a re-vamp, with the hand sketch drawings updating to pictures and real examples of the techincal aspects that are discussed, but it's still an neccesary purchase for any serious road/trackday rider and club racer to my mind.

This book, backed up by the drills and learning you can glean from the schools (i've been lucky enough to attend) can enable even a half decent rider to become a very, very competent one. Much respect to Keith and his studying to be able to make the art of riding a motorbike such an acheievable skill for mere mortals!

When is 3 out....? :-)

There is no other publication that has been as well researched or well proven when it comes to the technology of getting the best out of a motorcycle whether it be for street or track riding.

The techniques and examples included in this book have been developed by Keith Code over 28 years of in depth and personalized observation, coaching, demonstration and execution. In addition, all of the techniques laid out by Keith are utlized by Keith and his coaching staff at the California Superbike school - www.superbikeschool.com - AT EVERY SCHOOL all over the world. There is no better text, methodology or school - period!

If you want to be a better and safer rider, whether on the street or track, whether you are 10 years old or 65 years old, buy this book, and then go to a school - you won't regret it!

As the title states, I think that this book could more aptly be described as an owners manual for your mind while you're on a motorcycle. Though it does cover technical points of the motorcycle and how it works, what it really does is teach a person how to think about motorcycling and how to train yourself to be better at it. It does have some things to offer those riders that are brand new to our sport/obsession, but I think it is of more value to those that have the basic proficiency with the MECHANICS of riding (how to work the brakes, shift, accelerate, change direction.) The information is presented in a simply and is easy to understand. It will not make you Valentino Rossi overnight, but it will help you set up a frame of reference with which to judge your current skills. You'll instantly begin to recognize some of the good and bad in your riding and, with discipline and practice, be able to make it better. I'm a coach for Keith's school and I still refer back to this book whenever I find myself in a rut out on the track.

The more experience I get on the track and the street, the more I get out of this book. I have taken all of the Keith Code classes in conjunction with this reading and re-reading this book, and I have found the comprehensive education with hands-on coaching at the classes along with intellectual learning through reading has helped my riding improve exponentially.

I have gained more control of my motorcycle, physical comfort on the bike, dropped lap times, and drastically improved my reactions to the unexpected through the book's section on re-training survival reactions.

Twist of the Wrist 2 is a book whose value increases the more you ride.

Now, this is an interesting book...

On one hand, it is packed with very useful information for both the street rider (the group of which I am a part of) and, I assume, the track rider. Code brings some interesting things to the table and makes these concepts pretty easy to understand even for the novice rider.

On the other hand, as has been mentioned in plenty of other reader reviews, this book is likely the most poorly written professionally published thing I've ever read. It is *filled* with errors, inconsistencies, howlers, and non sequiturs. Not only that, but words are seemingly randomly bolded and asterisked (sometimes both at the same time) and more random words are thrown into a glossary at the end of the chapter. In a lingo-centric sport like motorcycling, why not define more things like low-side, roll-on, contact patch...things like that? Instead, we get words like:

Sail: A Piece of canvas or cloth spread to the wind to cause a vessel to move

or

Point: A particular spot

or

Dazzling: To Impress deeply. Brilliant

or

Wisdom: A wise saying or teaching

WTH? Very strange. All in all though, a good book that I, as an intermediate rider, was able to glean much useful information from. If you can get passed the irritating manner in which that information is presented, you'll probably find it helpful as well.

I thought I was a pretty good rider, 29 years of experience riding all kinds of bikes - but had never taken an advanced rider class. While reading this book, I quickly realized how many mistakes I had been making. E.g., over the years I had figured out most of the steps involved with making a turn as described in the book, but I did not have ALL the steps figured out - there were some CRUCIAL pieces I was missing.

My riding has improved dramatically since reading this book, and my enjoyment of riding is back to where it was when I first started riding!

I wish I had read this book when I first started riding and every year since. I wish someone had recommended that I read it. I am making sure that all my riding buddies read it if they haven't already. Don't be proud, get this book.

Terribly written book. Has many ideas and concepts I've tried and haven't found viable for me. HOWEVER, two chapters in the book are very worthwhile: 1)The 7 deadly Survial Reactions and 2) the chapter on visual directional control--the "Two-Step." These alone make it worth the price of the book. There are many books that teach motorcycle riding techniques far better, that you can actually understand because they aren't written by someone who must have spent his high school career flunking English. Glad it's cheap.

It is difficult not to like this book, Keith Code knows motorcycling. But if you are looking for street riding, there is little here to help you. Throttle control and bike balance was very good, so any understanding about motorcycles is important. I will always honor Keith Code since he was my first teacher with his first twist of the wrist. Thanks

Not bad reading at all. Keith does a wonderful job of keeping the chapters to a reasonable number of pages. I would suggest Lee Parks, Total Control to be a better, more useful read.

Following my first time at a track day - I was frustrated. I didn't have fun and I didn't know why. I was slower than most, despite my 169hp of Honda. I was close to giving up - thinking riding just wasn't my thing. Soon after
TofW2 arrived and I started to read. I went out on my bike and was immediately better. I went around bends, quicker, safer and got bitten by the bug. Two books and 3OOOk's later I'm loving my riding, learning more and am rereading this amazingly helpful book. Simply, anyone with a sports bike should read this book, but only if you want to get better.

This is truly a good book for all motorcyclists but it is aimed particularly at the guys who want to go to the track. It does a good job of explaining the reasons why so many motorcyclists are unable to master some of the techniques required to avoid crashing. The book is pretty easy to read and a great thought stimulator for those seeking to understand the why's and why nots. There are also several excersizes detailed to try and train your mind not to do some of the things which although intuitive are bad riding habits.

I like going fast, but I hate the thought of hitting the pavement. That is the strong point of this book: going fast without throwing your bike - and your dreams - away needlessly. Twist of the Wrist II covers the technical essentials of how to brake, turn, and accelerate with confidence and speed - while keeping your bike in one piece and your skin intact. This is the next book after the MSF course if you want to understand what happens in your head and consequently to the machine under you as change states from braking to turning to accelerating.

It is not an encyclopedia of riding, and since you can get through the book (the first time) in a long afternoon, it should not be the last book you ever read on riding. That said, it covers in detail how to turn a motorcycle better than any book I have seen, taking the guess work out of many stressful situations that can occur in turns.

Why is that so important? Well, the latest available data has not changed significantly in almost two decades: about fifty percent of all single vehicle motorcycle fatalities occur while the rider is simply making a turn. All other vehicle maneuvers include going straight, starting in lane, stopping in lane, passing, parking, avoiding animals, U-turns, changing lanes, etc. when combined are the other half of single vehicle crash deaths. Additionally, nearly 75% of those turning deaths involved hitting a non-moving object. Also, about 80% of all motorcycle deaths occurred after the bike left the roadway. Clearly, if you learn to turn, you reduce your risks dramatically by avoiding said non-moving objects and being able to steer clear and yet stay on the `afore mentioned roadway.

Since braking usually proceeds the turn, and acceleration usually (hopefully) follows the turn, this book gives you the essentials of doing all of that smoothly, really fast, and under complete control. It is written from a track/racing standpoint but Code is teaching critical riding skills so street riders like me can benefit immensely too. Many of the important points and techniques are counter intuitive, that is, not exactly what you would think, and certainly not what your mind is screaming to you during that high stress instant, and so you could limp around for a half a lifetime, as I have, without figuring these out on your own.

Although the book is poorly edited, the information is so critical that you should be able to look past the writing style. If that style, the chapter glossaries or the bold print sections bug you, which they might if you are easily irritated, just think of it as building character on your part to endure it. The day that you see another rider crash over something foolish or simply ride off the road because he could not make the turn, this book will appear much more intellectual.

Bottom line - the application of a Code's `rules' will help you avoid a large range of street and track mistakes. Twist II explains and emphasizes the basics, and then sprinkles in the subtle fine points. But just master the basics and you will smoke most everyone you know in the turns - and confidently survive.

I found this book to cover a different area to most "technique" oriented books. It was more about the how's and why's of what we do on a bike and how our understanding of them can make us better riders.
Definitely worth buying and reading more than once.

I've read a lot of books on riding over the past several years with the goals of improving my technique and having an overall more enjoyable and safer ride. By far the beset book I've read to date is Keith Code's Twist of the Wrist 2. This book is a very complete analysis of the physics of riding presented in a very understandable format that includes pictures and tips. Understanding the dynamics of traction and how those dynamics change during cornering, braking, and acceleration has really improved my riding and my confidence. While this book is targeted at sport bike riders the information applies to all including Harley-Davidson riders. I highly recommend Twist of the Wrist 2. Note, the first book in the series is also very good but not necessary if you buy the second.

If you want to know what the hell you are doing on a motorcycle and how to improve you skills, control and speed... Get anything by Keith! This is as his other books are; interesting informative and enlightening. Enormously helpful.

if you liked the first one, you will probably like this one too. I don't think it added a ton, but was still helpful, particularly in where you should "spend" your focus while riding.

Some info in here is good, but Code really needs to give his readers a bit more credit. I don't need Keith Code to tell me what "available," "constantly," or "hunting" means, all words helpfully defined. I also have a pretty good idea what an "exit" is, thanks. Save yourself some dough and get "Total Control" or "Sport Riding Techniques" both excellent for sport riders.

A fantastic book that truly unravels the art of riding a sportsbike. It explains in simple terms what happens when you do certain things (eg throttle off), why you should not, what to do to counteract the natural reactions and why this works.

The ability to explain the mechanical laws being applied in such a way that you can understand what happens, and how to use it to your advantage enables you to calmly apply the principles and techniques.

Quite simply the best instructional book I have read.

All sport bike riders will benefit from these riding techniques. Understand the dynamics of certain turns and how to make the most out of your throttle.

This book can be helpful to those who are interested in improving their riding skills,despite Mr. Code's writing style which is sometimes frustrating,with his frequent use of rhetorical questions and his need to have a vocabulary building section at the end of each chapter.

Some of the information is also repeated needlessly. It almost seems like the book has fillers to give the impression of a more substantial work.

After reading all the messages on motorcycle forums, I dove in and bought this book. It is all that they say.
If you ride a sport bike, especially on "twisties" and track days, this book will make you better. From understanding the dynamics in turns, to throttle usage, to dragging a knee; this book explains many factors I had never considered and\or understood.
Thanks to this book, my track days are intense learning opportunities and my technique is constantly improving.
This would be a 5-star review if only for one thing: there is a flood of glossary asterisks in every chapter, but they seem to explain definitions of commonly-used terms. Defining "Value" as "The worth of a thing, importance" and defining "Specific" as "Definite, particular or precise" seemed like a waste of ink and was very distracting -- I constantly wondered why very simple English words needed to be defined. Was it for foreign readers? Then why isn't "nip it in the bud" defined?
But, despite that tiny distraction, the book was jam-packed with very good explanations of symptoms, causes, effects, and solutions of common sport rider problems. The "Notes" pages let me consolidate ideas I had hilighted and lists I has made.
I would buy this book for anyone I knew who got their first bike and anyone who wanted to dramatically improve their riding skills.
Bottom line: You MUST have this book.

I read this book almost a decade ago and lost the copy when I lent it to a friend. I got a new bike recently and started locking the rear wheel a lot when braking. Since I lost my old copy, I ordered a new one. I expected it would be old and outdated and would offer very little help since I had already read it. The way it breaks down things into simple to understand points makes the book very applicable to actual riding. The only problem is finding a way to duct tape it to my handlebars so I can read and practice each point as it is mentioned in the book. Just kidding but it does make me realize there are a number of things I am doing wrong that can be easily corrected. This book takes the mystery out of riding and puts control back into your hands, or wrists, as the title says.

One of the best books I've ever read on how to turn a motorcycle. Each element of the turn has a chapter. I bought a copy for a friend when I sold him my Ducati. Mostly covers the physics of turns--not much on street sense. Proficient Motorcycling covers that....

As I mentioned in my review of the original Twist of the Wrist, Keith Code's style is a little, shall we say, non-traditional.

His writing is very conversational and he frequently uses the device of throwing questions at the reader to stimulate thought. Sometimes this can come across as a little stilted, but on the whole I appreciated the intent.

In terms of the content of the book, Keith Code covers many aspects of high-performance riding, ranging from mental to physical, to theoretical.

None of the topics is covered in great detail, and if you're expecting a textbook-style approach, full of formulas and diagrams, you'll be disappointed.

If you're willing to settle for a slightly higher-level approach, designed to stimulate thought and potentially further research, this book is what you're looking for.

More than providing the "answer" to high-performance riding, what the book really gives the reader is a grab bag of things to think about while practicing.

It's not likely that everything Keith Code presents will work for every rider, but I found the book easy to read, easy to understand, and almost universally helpful.

Note: Although it sounds like A Twist of the Wrist 2 is a sequel to the first book, I would really treat them as complements, with the second one being more up to date and perhaps more valuable to a wider range of riders.

If you're interested into more racing-oriented advice, get A Twist of the Wrist as well. If street riding is more your thing, this book is probably enough.

In my opinion, this book is the best of Keith Codes' books on the subject of racing motorcycles. The breadth and depth of information covered is excellent, and it helped me immensely during track days.

Fantastic value, can feel a massive difference in my riding!!!

I've been riding for 3 months daily when I bought this book. I've had an absence to riding a bike for 26 years. I rode for 5 years when I had a low side accident that scared me out of riding for the next 26 years. Back then no Motorcycle safety classes existed, everyone you asked for advise gave you confusing or bad advise. What Keith Code does in this book goes far beyond what you learn in the MSF classes and gives you a great foundation to understanding how your body reacts when in panic mode and what best ways to correct this so you can safely steer, stop, or control yourself to survive. He uses mostly layman terms so most people can understand and there is bold type on all important points. There is even word definition like a dictionary at the end of each chapter so if you need to understand a meaning you can immediately flip to the end of the chapter you're reading and get an understanding. Some of the information is highly technical and can really make you sound like an expert if you are explaining to someone else why you should ride a certain way. What helped me with my riding was in the beginning of the book where he covers riding in head and cross winds. After reading this section I improved my riding by 100% and I was no longer sweating and holding my breath whenever I would get hit by a wind gust. The next section that improved my riding was pivot steering. He explains the way to safely and controlably do quick right, left, right flick turns at speed. The section on wide screen vision and the exercises there also helped me tremendously to have less eye fatigue and enjoy the ride by seeing more. I would recommend this book to anyone who plans to ride a motorcycle on a regular basis and anyone who wants a better understanding on ways to improve their riding skills.

Awesome book, well written and easy to understand. As A new rider I was making a lot of mistakes (SR's) this book will help take me to the next level of riding. Highly recomend it to any one looking to improve their riding skills.

Fantastic book, lots of info about throttle control and how to disable your survival reactions so you won't kill yourself.

This book is a must read for anyone interested in riding a motorcycle. I learned more from this one book than I have in all my years riding (to the point of reading the book). Every motorcyclist should have a copy of this book in their library, and they should revisit the book from time to time.

If you want to learn how to corner a motorcycle better, this is the book! Keith Code covers all the aspects of riding in small bite size chunks that are easy to understand. Upon reading this book I immediately improved and continue to improve my riding by practicing the techniques he talks about. Excellent read!

As the title states, this is a must read for all motorcycle riders. Tourers, cruisers, sport bike riders, and racers can all use this data to improve their riding. Keith has a way of explaining the information to you that you can understand, and all of this stuff actually works!!!! I read this book any time I feel like my riding is a bit off and it brings me back to top riding.

i read the original version when i was just street riding, and the more i rode the more i learned and the more i re-read the book. when i started roadracing, i bought this, the second version and it took my riding and racing to new heights.

if you ride a motorcycle, you should read this book, period. you don't have to be a racer or track day enthusiast to get immense value from the wisdom in the book.

Can you honestly answer this question without reading this book? How many motorcyclists do you know? Ask all of them and see how many different or similar answers you get to your own answer. Which answer is the right one? The answer is in this book. Ask anybody who drives or rides what they look at when they go round a corner. Watch for the pause as they try to remember if they look at, or for anything at all. This book explains not only what to look for, how and why to look for it but also what grabs your attention and determines whether you can get round the corner smoothly and safely. Practise and apply the techniques described in the book, and your cornering skill will rise, and you will be able to explain to biking acquaintances what you did to make your motorcycle go round a corner better than they can. You read this book.
Buy it to improve your cornering, and store it on the bookcase next to Stephen Hawking and Dan Brown - Big picture, gripping stuff simply explained and mentally stimulating.

This book made me a better rider because it gave me an understanding of what a motorcycle wants from me as an operator and why. The information applies to high and low speed riding at all levels.

I've read all 3 of Keith's books, and this one is my favorite. They are all quite different, don't cover the same material at all, but this one gets real specific on technique. How do you get the bike to handle, figure out a line, get max traction, even learn the visual skills. Hard-core, straight technique, backed up with real data. On top of that, he covers what causes riders to make the mistakes they make. The data on Survival Reactions, what they are and how they mess a rider up is worth the price of the book alone. Sometimes when I read what others have written on riding technique, I scratch my head. With Code's stuff, you can read it, understand it, and then go and do it. Doesn't get better as far as I'm concerned.

You will lean something from this book. My only dislike is it reads like Cycle World and I am not a CW fan.

But if you are reading this review there is hope for you. I used to think I was pretty good because I could scare myself but after reading this book I found out I didn't know jack. Modern sportbike technology and normal street riding mask the multitude of mistakes I made (and still make) along with most other uneducated and even arrogant riders. By carefully and patiently reading and re-reading this book (I am on my 7th or 8th time through) then thinking about and applying the principles Keith Code lays out, my riding has transformed from jerky and on the edge of control (as track time made perfectly clear) to in control, confident and much safer. Speed (on the track) and even safety comes as a natural result of control, which can only come through application of knowledge. You will learn a lot even your first time through but be warned, only the patient and devoted will reap the full benefits. If you want to be a factory star in a week you will be disappointed. I have been re-reading this book for almost 2 years and each time I pick it up I do so as if I have not read it before. This book is essential if you want to be in control and to reap the benefits thereof. Some poor graphics and other editing oversights cost this book full 5 stars. However, the content is what counts.

"Twist II" contains the most useful information to street riders, out of Code's three "twist"-series books. ("Twist of the Wrist" and "Soft Science" are decidedly more racetrack-oriented books and aren't really applicable for street riding, but if you race then those will be useful to you!) Code's discussion of Survival Reactions or "SR's", and his explanation of the results of applying certain inputs (brake, throttle, steering) to your motorcycle, in various situations, are the two most useful topics of this book, and are worth the price alone, whether you race on a track or ride on the street (and make sure you never confuse the two! ;-)

Keith has a lot to say, no doubt about it. He is surgically smooth with the words - just the necessary - except for the "definitions" at the end of each chapter, which are a waste of paper.
A lot of my techique progress it's due to this book. Great reading.

I don't know about everyone else, but when I read a book I learn from it. There is a lot to learn in this book. I am glad a I read it a few times already because I think what learned from it saved my skin the other day when I hit a large hole in a country road going about sixty or seventy in pretty good lean on a right hander. I think my forks bottomed out because they made this ugly noise and the bike started bucking like a horse ( I don't have steering damper ). I did what the book suggested in this instance: I didn't get scared ( until later ), I relaxed, I got out of the saddle, balanced on the pegs, and gassed it. Result: bike stayed up and I didn't eat it. Keith will tell you to trust your bike and let it do its thing, he says riders and their fears are the reason bikes go down and all you have to do is learn to be a good rider and let the bike do what it is designed to do. Excellent advice. This book might save your butt. BUY IT AND READ IT OVER AND OVER.

This book directly addresses things the rider may have experienced but not been able to single out of the riding experience. It's a great little guide for getting into your own head on a frightening corner, and once you've got a handle on the sources of your own behavior it's much easier to correct.

Very easy to read, clear and written to stress or repeat the main points - exactly what you need to get the ideas into your head to counteract implusvie actions and responses.

Does seem a little one note, as I haven't had track time yet. I could summarize the book in one line: always roll on the throttle, don't let yourself chicken out. ;) This doesn't mean go crazy full-throttle everywhere and everyway, but the main safety point, changing your acceleration affects so many points of control on your bike - best to stay with smooth on no matter what your panic tells you to do.

Cornering diagrams and track advice is very interesting, all simply explained and convincing. Would like to put some of the upper level stuff to practice, though the safety and mental examinations of rider behavior are valuable for all levels of street riders. A keeper.

Although clearly written for the high-performance and/or racing addict, "Twist of the Wrist 2" is highly useful to help road and touring riders get the most out of their machines as well. Although if I get carried away, I start dragging pipes, saddlebags and floor boards on my touring cruiser, Code's instructions on when to roll the throttle on, when to brake, counter-steering and turn entry and exit, etc., etc., work just as well on heavy touring barges as on crotch-rockets - may be even better, because no one expects them to handle. Oh, and stealthy application of the appropriate technique sometimes allows you to catch unawares those sport-bikes that enjoy more power than rider skill. By the way, efficient riding makes life easier on the passenger as well, they can't see the speedo - smooth riding makes for happy passengers!

Keith Code and Ken Hough ("Proficient Motorcycling") have helped to demystify motorcycle behavior in turns. The concept of countersteering seems strange till you watch a bike coming directly at you and the wheel suddenly, (but temporarily) turns in the opposite direction of the subsequent turn. I've been a street rider (always having a fast/modified bike) since the late 60s and even with much experience, never realized how sloppy my riding really was. Mr. Code (in Twist II) points out that transferring the technical concepts to actual riding goes against many survival instincts. This is much like learning to ski where leaning downhill in turns is crucial to control when every instinct screams at you to do the opposite.

One of many concepts presented is "pivot steering by using outside peg pressure." The mechanics and application of this are well presented by Mr. Code, and I'll tell you the best part. It increased my confidence and average speed through fast corners by 10 mph! After some practice, this feels so right, it brings a smile to your face like any physical action in sport that you've performed well and gracefully. Lots of good stuff like this in twist II. You may think you can take turns pretty fast, and maybe you can but apply these concepts and you'll go faster and smoother.

The 2nd in the series is my favorite. It covers exact techniques, to fix exact riding problems. I particularly like the explanation of the different human reactions (called "survival reactions") where Code explains why we react the way we do, and how this is 100% wrong for motorcycle riding.

It also covers both aspects of the cornering problem: what you have to learn how to deliver to the bike, and what you have to learn how to get for yourself to get comfortable--like all the chapters on the visual skills that really put you in command of riding anywhere, in any situation.

If you can read, you will get loads from this thing, and it makes sense.

This book is considered a roadracing bible and is an absolute must for any sportbike rider. The skills tought here are not just for track but are for street as well, and will make riding more relaxed, controlled and fun, and may save your life.

Twist of the Wrist is a great book...for track racing. The street-applicable skills are buried in discussion of track-specific performance training.

As a novice motorcyclist, I bought Twist of the Wrist and Proficient Motorcyling at approximately the same time, and found Proficient Motorcycling to be much more useful. That book takes all the useful street skills that you'll find in Twist the Wrist, then adds reams of additional street riding content, including wet/icy weather riding, judging corners, avoiding lane-straddling cars, how to set your shocks for load, riding gear essentials, correct braking, what to do when you see a deer, etc. Do yourself a big favor, go pick it up and wait for Twist the Wrist until you are planning to take your bike to the track. That's when Twist becomes useful.

This book has some really really valuable content. The messages are very valuable to the motorcyclist. However, the book itself needs an editor. You will spend a lot of time trying to figure out what is being said. This is due to the large number of gramatical and spelling errors present in the book. The book also needs some help in "flow." Some of the paragraphs are not really in a logical order.

The book is still worth while, mostly because there is solid content and reliable advice. But, expect something that is written below an 8th grade level and will be hard to follow at times because of poor editing.
