"With the aforementioned sense of order he clinically slices through the fluff, eviscerates any excess, and delivers a conclusion that still twitches on the serving platter ... Beginners invariably want to know 'what is the best for me?' Experienced riders are more interested in the answer to 'is it worth the money?' Stermer's book meets both requirements ... This book is a good reference work and could even be prescribed as an antidote to Moto-Journalist Over-complication Syndrome (MOJOS)."

" I would rate this book a must-have for new and returning riders. Additionally, even if you already know everything covered in this book (and that would make you a very knowledgeable motorcyclist indeed), I would bet that you will still find it deserving of your money and time. The valuable information and many excellent photographs included in the book, coupled with the author' s style of writing, make Streetbikes: Everything You Need to Know" a worthwhile and entertaining read for motorcyclists of all experience levels."

" Streetbikes: Everything You Need to Know" is very easy to understand for beginners, and even those who think they know everything already might find themselves enlightened. We give Streebikes: Everything You Need to Know "our sprocketed MCUSA stamp of approval. It delivers everything its declarative title promises and does so in an engaging and informative manner."
