    Watch Marc Marquez to understand this.
    Marquez is a interesting one to watch, people wonder why he hangs off so much more than other riders - or at least his upper body.... there is less of him (as in hes a paper weight) so for his bike to be affected by him moving his upper body, he has to move it (his upper body) further than someone more.....chappy like....... in weight. Hence why his upper body is usually further forward and lower than others mid corner.

    Yup.... Just to agree here.... aside from me getting my position a little better on the bike, conversely somebody my size on a MotoGP weighted bike with only 25hp and a 160km/hr top speed really upsets the whole apple cart if I start thinking I am Marquez....
    Remember that my gyros (wheels) are only 1/4 as stable as the same weighted gyros doing twice the speed.....
