Sitting position on a Supersport

Just Me · 18/01/2005, 15h40

I would like an explanation of the handling characteristics & turning if I were to sit close to the tank or towards the back of the seat.

Thank-you!

Nice,.........still like to understand how the bike will react in these two different sitting positions. In other words should I expect any difference, say entering or exiting a long,sweeping corner?

It is always better to keep your weight centered in a straight line and sit closer to the tank when cornering,this is your pivot point. Sitting back on your seat moves your weight away from the pivot point and on to your back wheel.
