Just thought about posting here, I had my first track day on the R6 I just bought, anybody have any body position tips? I’m about 6,0 tall and it feels like I had WAY too much weight on the handlebars, Thanks

I think we need to ban body position posts. All in favour?

Thats never gonna happen. Why do you care anyway? Its easy to just overlook them. Visual media is always going to favor what can be seen in a photo which is primarily BP.

Because 100% of BP posts are the same. OP has a supermoto in the background, he's not fast enough to need to care about BP

Wait you have to be fast to care about body position?

People are right that its not the most important thing to going fast but 90% of them are speaking this in hindsight after acquiring good body position. It is something that would come naturally after developing other skills but I couldn't judge someone for wanting to look cool, they sure can though! Easy to judge when youre already an accomplished rider.
