Abstract
This chapter aims at defining the equations that govern the motorbike equilibrium and are useful for designing the front and the rear suspensions. Such equations are, in some case, non-linear and implicit so that they can be solved by recursive methods applied and presented in the Chap. 3 of this book. The mathematical models can be applied to different types of motorbike but they are developed for the peculiar case of those that adopt a single braking disk installed on front suspension and with a unique arm for the rear suspension.
