Awesome web app for comparing motorcycles riding positions

[Wiki Drifter]

Came across this gem on ADVrider forum, its constantly being updated with new bikes.

What next a website devoted to "best bikes to look at whilst supping a latte"

Ignore him, he's having a bad day. :innocent:

Anyway, where's my flat white?

Na just getting old P,in hindsight maybe all this high tech shits for the best,no doubt soon enough there will be big $ devoted to research resulting in websites with thread titles "remember when we just got on the thing and rode regardless of wind resistance'.:facepalm:

[EJK]

According to the website, KTMs and BMW GSs are definitely not for me.

[Conquiztador]

I liked that! I was able to figure out that I need to extend my arms with 25 cm to be able to have the apehangers I want. Or I can sit on a 12cm thick pillow. But it all is dependant on my lean angle and the size of my balls.

[hellokitty]

according to the site, my legs are too short to ride a Fury which is weird because in reality, they are not too short :blink:

It also show that i am far too short for the BMW I want which I thought might be the case, can't get my feet on the ground (damn you short legs)

[munster]

Well I like it. Pity they don't have an M50 on there.

[pritch]

That site is so up to date it's mind boggling. The Aprilia RSV4 and the Honda Crossrunner, both of which are currently being debuted at the Milan show, are included.

Then again it doesn't have the Kawasaki Z750 which has been around years or the new Z750R?

[Slyer]

Well all they need is a side image, I don't think they're actual proper measurements from the bikes. Yet.

And it's because it's an American site. They don't have the Z750 over there among many other bikes.

Want to know how you will look on that new bike? Will your feet touch the ground?
Check out this cool site: http://cycle-ergo.com/
New models are featured as well.:woohoo:

[zadok]

Check out this site to see how you will fit your intended bike. Comparisons between two bikes also. Type in your digits.

[zadok]

ok, so that's where it went to.:shutup:

And if you are of average build the answers are all there!

[Oakie]

Meh. More of a site to check out:
> how cool will I look on this bike?
> will I look like a dork on this bike?
or
> 'does my ass look big on this bike?'
IMHO

Tired of taking bikes for test rides?

Want a computer to tell you / show you if it feels right? (ooo-errr!)

Wait no longer, for you too can select your bike and use Mr. Stick Man to test ergonomic position.

Here is how I would look if I was 6'9" tall and had a short inseam of 66cm.

As you can see, with the above impossible dimensions, a speed triple would not be a good fit. The web site saved me from having a test ride and a lot of money. However a Street Triple might.

(PS: Piss take aside, it's scary how close the above picture is to how I normally ride - except I face backwards).

Hey,,,,at 5'7 I can see over the MTS1200 screen....I was worried about that.

[Gregonz]

Found this link on another forum and thought I would share.....may be useful for someone looking at a new bike.

You can choose any bike, your height etc and it gives you the ergonomics of your posture etc on that particular model...

I thought it was quite cool :eek::eek:

Apologies to the forum whores on here if it has been posted before.:facepalm:

[rustyrobot]

(Oh, you added the link)

Cool - thanks.

[bungbung]

That is pretty cool. It would be nice to have weights included.

[Coldrider]

An interesting web site I stumbled across while trying to improve comfort levels on sportsbikes.

Can call up most models for a comparison and make adjustments to suit what your looking for, if known.

Been around for a few years and been posted multiple times. Some bikes seem spot on others seem a little off.

[avgas]

hahahaha that is hilarious. Go up to 19 ft tall.

Yes, I put my husband's bike on there and apparently I am too short to reach the footpegs :laugh: so whose feet where on the pegs when I rode it then?

[rickstv]

hey, all those links tell me the same thing so they must be right.:bleh:

[jellywrestler]

Found a useful tool (http://cycle-ergo.com/) to look at different ergos on a number of bikes. Useful to compare a number of models (on paper at least) & see why some fit better than others.

were you shaken when you were a Baby? this is exactly the same link as the first post.
