The app is interesting. Who here rides? Dirtbikes in particular? I have a trials bike (Gas Gas TXT 250), and an enduro (husqvarna TE 150). I couldn't find a trials bike in the app, but it doesn't matter since trials bikes don't really have seats. I would like to see a measure of standing at a stoplight. (interesting for high seat heights). Also it would be neat to see a more aggressive dirtbike style arm position with elbows ups.

The options panel lets you place feet on the ground.

Yamaha FJR 2006. 13 degree forward for me at 6'2" 30" inseam. Seems about right.

mv augusta brutalte 910R (not listed but any brutale in the app is comparable) so 3/4 aggressive riding stance ... so not super aggressive like a sport bike but great for aggressive city riding. pay for it on highways though because you really have to tuck-in anything over 80 plus don't turn your head

I ride an XR600R and am standing basically straight up most of the time.

A Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. Just did over a 1000 km on the way to their annual festival, and kept wondering what the “correct” riding posture was. Either HN read my mind or a a bunch of HN’ers are in Goa now.

Kawi ZX25R, small & fun 4cylinder 250cc screamer sold in Asia. Im quite tall, but its still comfy without any mods and I use it daily. The riding position is not that aggressive (cant find it on the site unfortunately). In saying that - the first time I took it on a long ride out I couldn't sit down for 24 hours afterwards I was in so much pain, but I attribute that to being a stiff old fart. Since then plenty of long rides, perhaps my joints have adapted...

BMW K1200RS and R100R, the first of which was in the list. I selected R100RT for the latter and it looked close enough. The positions looked right.

2015 HD FLHTK Ultra Limited (Electra Glide). Stance on the site looks correct. Although the stance is important on touring bikes, the seat is really a deal breaker. A good, air-inflated seat pad makes all the difference in the world. And the pad is a lot cheaper then replacing the factory seat with an after market one.

I ride... agree with you regarding the standing position and elbow ups position. KTM 300 XCW enduro bike and a BMW R1200GS Rallye. On both bikes I have slightly lowered pegs, and on the KTM I have a slightly taller handlebar. Not risers, as they normally place the handlebars closer to you rather than further away. I am pretty tall at over 6'5" (198 cm to be exact) so ergonomics to me is a bit trickier than for most.

24 zx6r to replace my clapped r6, which had nearly 50k miles. Love it even though the rev limit kicks in at 14k (as opposed to the 17k on the r6). Now that it’s cold I’ll be sending it off for a flash to get that raised to 14.5… Love the ninja, though. That bike only wants to go fast. Site calculates a 40deg forward lean but the best is full tuck behind the windscreen with the throttle pinned.
