    Default Cool Motorcycle Ergo Website

    I found this website on another forum and thought the l4p motorcycle community would appreciate it. You select a bike and put in your height and inseam, it spews out an approximation of how you will look on the bike. I might be in the market for my first bike soon, this site could be a good resource for people that are also new to riding/motorcycles.

    Bookmarked, thanks for posting. It's also useful if you think about getting another bike and want to see how it compares to your current ride.

    The last thing one should worry about is how they 'look' on a bike. Much more important things to master. If one wants to have a better idea of how a bike fits under them the best way to figure that out is to go sit on an actual one. While a seemingly fun app it will do very little to help anyone figure out how they may feel on a real bike.

    I agree that people shouldn't worry about how they look on a bike, but that isn't what this website is trying to convey. I think that the point of this website is to simply gauge what kind of seating position one will have on different motorcycles. For example, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the sv650 would have a more aggressive forward lean angle than a ninja 250.

    think triangle

    every racebike is built for the rider with that in mind.
