バイクの運動性能

Motorbike kinematics.

When considering the kinematic performance of a motorcycle, it is important that the body of the bike tilt smoothly from side to side.
Imagine a stick fixed to the ground.
To lean the stick easily, should you hold the end or the base of the stick?
If you think of this in terms of the position of the bike, you will understand that the higher the seat is, the easier it is to lean over = easier banking and turning.
A higher center of gravity is also advantageous for mobility.

The easiest way to compare the two is to look at the same car model in its production state and in its racer state.
The row of the seat is higher in a racer than in a production racer. This is for the aforementioned reasons.
The difference is even clearer for the production cars, because the footing is also important.

When we look at the concept of each manufacturer's seat from such a perspective, we can see that company "Y" and others are very sharp.
The seat height is already a violent value, whereas company S and others have a comparatively quiet value.
The same can be said for motocross bikes as well as sport bikes.

On the other hand, for production vehicles, the issue for the seat is how to improve the footing and not to get tired after long distances.
This time, I would like to talk about something that has nothing to do with 8ft products, but if you are pursuing athletic performance, it is better to have a seat with anchorage than one without!
If you want to pursue athletic performance, you need to add anchorage, not remove it! That's what I'm saying!
This may (or may not) become a trend from now on.
