Sit on vs Sit in

Post by seb421 »

Just wondering what bikes you would Class as Sit in / Sit on bikes?

The Storm i found was a Sit in bike and so is the Gixxer, the 954 was very much a Sit on bike

any one else know what i mean by that?

Think it must be somthing to do with seat hight in relation to the bars or somthing i dont know but the Blades feel like your pearched ontop of the flick able rocket where the gixxer feels like your sat down in it, doesnt want to change lines as easy but feels better at high speed corners but at a disadvangage over the backroads

Compared to the blade and the 400 the storm felt like your sitting on the tank :lol: . Standard seat on the storm .
Ride an old blade and you'll see/feel what I mean .
