can you only get that low if you are short / light as hell?

 

Getting that low is about having top grade suspension, tires, and bike setup. Rider height/weight has very little to do with it.

 

+1 just look at Kevin Schwantz, big ol texas boy and he used to get it low.

 

i'm 6'2'' 290lbs and i can get my GSXR1000 leaned over to touch my footpegs( the k5 gsxr1k has high pegs that are very hard to drag and shit i tagged both sides at jennings before i highsided)

P.S.if you want to drag you knee and stuff do it at the track not patterson road, or you might end up wrapped up barb wire in a cow pasture or the infamous brick wall

 

yeah im definatly not trying to do it on the streets...or any time soon. im planning on trying it further down the road after i get through with this bike, maybe after 2 yrs. i was just wondering if my big ass had any chance of being able to accomplish it, cuz it looks like something that i would enjoy a lot.

to rider info. Most of the guys are 70 kgs (154 lbs) or less. Tiny guys. Schwantz was a tall, thin guy who wouldn't have weighed much more. He and Rossi are similar in build.


This is one of the rumored reasons Mladin didn't move to motogp, his size. Plus, rossi would have busted his ass.

 

trust me, big fat people can drag knee, i promise you. All that you need are new springs (if you weight over 180-200) and a suspension set up to ur weight.

 

I'm 215lbs and can easily drag a knee on the track or the street on a bone stock bike. It just comes down to rider ability and competence. Dont get me wong, I'm not a great rider, who has masterd the art of motorcycle riding but I'm capable of doing that.

 

Draggin knees is for poons! Drag an elbow like those guys. Those bastards are looowww.

 

my point wasn't fat guys can't, just that motoGP guys are tiny.
