    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?'

    Motorcycle ergonomics site

    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.

    http://cycle-ergo.com/

    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).

    This web site could actually be very usefull to someone looking for a new bike??????

    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

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

    Ergonomics

    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.

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

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