This paper deals with motorcycle handling and manoeuvrability. It adopts a somewhat original point of view, which sees the whole vehicle as separated into two functional blocks: vehicle and steering sub-systems. The main function of the steering sub-system is recognized as beeing that of controlling lateral tyre forces. The dynamics of a vehicle with an ideal steering system (i.e. producing lateral force with no collateral effect) is studied, and a very simple linearized model for uniform straight running is given. The concept of 'manoeuvrability' is introduced and defined with respect to the response to lateral tyre force of the vehicle subsystem alone. The concept of 'handling' is also introduced, as related to the response of the whole vehicle, including the steering system, to the rider's torque. Manoeuvrability aims at measuring the forces required to perform a given manoeuvre, without concern to the rider's effort. Conversely, handling aims at measuring the rider's effort. As the concept of handling requires analysis of the steering system, it is not further developed in this paper. Examples of the evaluation of manoeuvrability of two alternative designs of a motorcycle are given.
