one handed sport bike riders
« on: August 13, 2015, 12:20:10 PM »
Anyone else notice all the guys who purchased sport bikes with the tiny clip-ons, down by the tanks, that now have to ride in that "shoulda bought a different bike" twisted torso so they can sit up comfortably and still reach the bars with one hand riding style?
My goodness that looks a sad way to ride.
But when they enter the lime rock GP this w/e it will all pay off, right? Then they won't look so silly.
All of my son's buddies who take a turn on his  CB500X adventure style bike comment on how comfortable the riding position is.

Yup, but they look cool to each other....

Now on the on the hand I think the riding position on those bikes for the passenger is perfect. Nothing better than being behind the behind of one of their girls. ;D
