| How
does
it
Fit? |
Let's
face
it
the
easy
part
was
deciding
to
ride
a
motorcycle
in
the
first
place.
Choosing
your
ride
is
probably
the
next
most
exciting
thing
because
there
are
so
many
different
types
of
motorcycles
to
choose
from.
Everyone
is
different,
having
different
personal
values,
culture,
body
shape,
loves
and
hates
and
so
forth.
Some
have
buy
models
based
purely
on
looks.
You
may
do
the
same
or
want
to
purchase
on
price
or
specifications.
There
is
nothing
wrong
with
any
method
of
justification
for
the
purchase
of
your
bike
as
long
as
you
are
happy
with
it!
And
over
the
long
run
a
big
part
of
satisfaction
depends
on
the
bike's
fit.
Motorcycle
Fit?
Yes
the
fit.
A
rarely
examined
aspect
of
choosing
a
bike.
Namely
your
body
shape.
Some
people
are
designed
to
fit
certain
motorcycles
better
than
others.
When
reading
this
be
completely
honest.
Below
is
a
check
list
to
be
sure
your
bike
fits
well.
- Extra
Tall
Make
sure
you
have
adequate
space
for
ALL
your
body
parts.
Remember
that
not
all
your
body
parts
a
extra
long.
Eg.
You
may
have
long
legs
but
proportionally
shorter
torso.
- Short
Legs
Make
sure
you
can
touch
the
ground
comfortably.
There
are
suspension
height
adjuster
kits
you
can
get
-
so
the
accessories
store
and
the
internet
is
your
friend.
Not
all
bikes
can
be
fitted
-
legally
or
safely
so
make
sure
your
do
your
research.
- Short
Arms
Make
sure
you
can
reach
the
handle
bars
without
stretching
too
much.
Eg.
your
butt
is
sitting
comfortably
on
the
seat
not
supported
by
your
legs
or
crotch.
If
you
are
willing
to
compromise
then
at
least
you've
considered
it
and
can't
blame
the
bike.
There
are
bar
extenders
available
for
some
models.
- Long
Legs
Make
sure
your
legs
'fit'.
Fried
leg
hairs
and
skin
ain't
pretty.
Neither
are
bow
legged
wind
breaks!
Sports
motorcycles
are
known
for
their
cramped
riding
position
design
for
bike
control
as
you
will
find
your
self
stretching
your
legs
every
so
often
to
avoid
cramps!
Note:
noise
emissions
details
or
the
oil
capacity
of
the
engine
should
not
be
burnt
into
your
leg.
- Heavy
weight
Let's
be
realistic
make
sure
you
are
comfortable.
If
you
have
to
ride
a
250
you
know
what
I
mean.
- Big
Feet
All
motorcycles
require
that
you
can
co-ordinate
reasonably
well.
Big
feet
will
hinder
your
control
so
make
sure
the
bike
you
have
has
enough
space
for
them.Some
new
motorcycles
(from
2009)
had
adjustable
or
replaceable
foot
pegs
see
if
the
bike
you
like
has
them.
- Back
Problems
Riding
position
on
the
bike
will
determine
how
comfortable
you
are
on
the
bike
so
choose
well.
Of
course
don't
expect
a
sports
motorcycle
to
be
ultra
comfy
the
riding
position
is
like
that
so
you
can
control
the
bike.
- Hands
and
Wrists
Try
out
the
bars
to
see
if
its
to
your
liking
ensuring
it
doesn't
place
your
arms
wrists
at
an
uncomfortable
angle.
Remember
to
check
out
the
span
to
the
brake
and
clutch
levers,
and
other
controls.
Not
all
motorcycles
have
span
adjusters.
If
you
have
a
sports
bike
it
is
highly
likely
that
you
will
eventually
lean
on
your
wrists
causing
severe
pain
so
take
a
rest
every
so
often.
Of
course
don't
expect
a
sports
bike
to
be
ultra
comfy
after
all
the
position
is
like
that
so
you
can
control
the
bike.
- Your
Butt
Everybody
has
one
and
it
is
pretty
important
that
you
find
a
bike
that
fits
yours
the
best
way
possible.
Note
that
some
seats
are
great
for
up
to
1
hour
and
after
that
they
'suddenly'
turn
to
steel.
However
there
are
heaps
of
after
market
seats
so
its
clear
that
the
OEM
versions
don't
fit
everyone.
Finding
the
perfect
fit
can
be
difficult
That
is
why
we
recommend
trying
a
variety
of
motorcycles
in
person
to
be
sure
that
the
motorcycle
fits
your
body
the
best.
The
Website
Cycleergo.com
has
done
extensive
research
on
motorcycle
ergonomics
and
is
a
great
place
to
start
to
figure
out
how
you
likely
fit
on
a
variety
of
motorcycles.

|
| New
for
2011:
Honda
250CBR |
| New
model
from
Honda |
The
Kawasaki
250
Ninja
has
been
the
leader
of
the
entry-level
sportbike
class
since
arriving
on
American
shores
in
1986,
mostly
due
to
the
lack
of
competition.
But
this
will
all
change
for
2011,
as
Honda
released
the
CBR250R
stateside.
The
lightweight
sportbike
will
bring
the
attractive
styling
of
its
older
brothers
to
the
entry-level
sportbike
rider,
all
with
at
an
affordable
price
(price
will
be
announced
in
November).
Bill
Savino
(Honda
Powersports
Press
Manager)
says:
"This
is
really
an
amazing
machine
we're
adding
to
Honda's
list
of
models
for
2011.
The
new
2011
Honda
CBR250R
is
specifically
aimed
at
new
riders,
yet
it's
packed
full
of
high-tech
features
and
offers
great
performance,
all
in
a
lightweight,
affordable
package.
This
new
model
expands
another
segment
of
the
market
for
Honda
buyers."
