markstertt Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 yeah thanks, Herman Munster on a speedway style bike, what fun! Power to wt. ratio at it's best. Any idea what engines they're running, look like twins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member i28 Posted July 9, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted July 9, 2017 I could see how leaning wouldn't be as important with such thin tires as it wouldn't really change the contact patch much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member motomeek Posted July 10, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted July 10, 2017 It's not about how much you lean, but how you lean... As I've recently seen from another rider - "If you're leaning and not being efficient, you're doing it wrong" Instagram: @meekmade | You don't need to flat foot a bike to ride it.
