Abstract The discussion presumes that theory aligns closely with practice in respect of major issues. References in support are quoted. A relatively simple historic mathematical model is used to establish symbolic equations of motion and to extract some insight from them. Numerical methods are then employed with a succession of elaborations of the simple model, to establish what level of model is necessary to represent what behaviour. Eigenvalues, eigenvectors and frequency responses are shown. To predict a full range of small-perturbation properties well, tyre sideslip has to be allowed and relaxation delays, frame torsional compliance and rider-upper-body freedom have to be included. More involved and accurate modelling is described. A fully detailed model is linearised for small perturbations from straight running and linear optimal preview control theory is applied to finding good rider steering control strategies. Those strategies are applied to path tracking simulations. Conclusions are drawn at the end.
