This chapter starts with the question of assessing in an objective manner the intrinsic performance of a motorcycle or combined with its rider. The answer is found in the formulation of the task to complete a manoeuvre as an optimal control problem that minimizes a desired metric of the performance and possibly includes riding limitations, skills and preferences. The optimal manoeuvre can be searched among the set of manoeuvres that also satisfy the human's riding skills and preferences. There are four essential ingredients of the optimal manoeuvre concept; each of them has a mathematical representation that yields the optimal manoeuvre as a solution. The chapter explains the derivation of the necessary equations of the optimal control problem. The concepts of manoeuvrability and handling are extended by modelling and introducing the rider's riding capability and the corresponding limitations in the optimal control formulation to complete minimum time manoeuvres.
