I dunno.
Seems like bullocks to me.

No pro racers look like that goob in the last pic. You need to combine 4 (too low) and 5 (too high) if you want to look like:

I dunno, pic 5 looks a lot like Colin Edwards style, or Troy Bayliss. Those guys go good.

There isn't one way to do it IMHO. However I tend to like my CG lower (like Eric) as I think I get better feel for the tires that way. The higher I get, the more disconnected I feel. Plus on a 125, aerodynamics are important even in the corners!

Agreed.

Also agreed that everyone has their own 'style' that works.

Funny you mentioned the 125 thing. I was cruising thru Owen's pics the other day and saw a pic of a 125 guy coming down 9 towards 10. Compared to EVERY other race thru there he looked crazy. Full tuck peering thru the windscreen. Props 125ers

125s are a little special. They don't like too much hanging off. It upsets the front end mid corner, and it's just so responsive to every little movement. big movements are just not smooth.

Plus, you can lean them so far that there's no room left for you body between the fairings and pavement. You get squished into the bike by the ground.

I hang off in 9, but in 10 I have to tuck to avoid whacking my head on the airfence.
