I'm crossing over from MX where a lot of emphasis is placed on keep weight on the outside peg. The majority of your weight with the sport bikes seems to be to the inside. So exactly what positioning should you and the bike have for best traction during a turn.

i.e.-->
MX riding technique for right hand turn:
| rider
/ bike

so from what I gather for sport bikes for the same turn:
/ rider
/ bike

is this right?

Pretty much the best standard practice.

Street:
/ Rider
/ Bike

Thanks. That will take some getting used to by me, but I appreciate the help!

Florida Statute 316.2085 says you have to in the state of Florida.

The actual subsection of that which applies:
(2) A person shall ride upon a motorcycle or moped only while sitting astride the seat, facing forward, with one leg on each side of the motorcycle or moped.

concentrate on learning/turning the bike at all speeds. after enough seat time you'll be moving the bike naturally, and nobody can teach you that. seat time and practice...

it's nice to ride with others so you can see how the bike moves in a 'third person' sense, as well. but it might not always be a good idea to follow some peoples' techniques (present company included!

thanks for the info CyberPoet

Re: A$$ POSTURE?!

so in da motorcycle safety course they told me to always have my a$$ seated centerly on da seat.but now i hear, and also see from some pictures,that when u go fast round corners,ur a$$ should b sorta hangin off da seat?and ur head should b bout where ur mirror is?do i understand this correctly?
i tried it out n it does kinda work.i guess if ur weight is to da inside of da corner,hangin off da bike,that the bike stays more upright,but still corners well.so, if da bike stays more upright that means u couold get more speed out of that corner.
am i kinda gettin this a$$ posture thing right??

english do you speak it?
