Chest should be pointed into the direction you want to go, not away. Increases the body's leverage, mobility, and allows you to keep the bike more upright.

Bike should be more upright, but you hang your body off. It's to keep from running out of contact patch during lean. The one on the right definitely had much better body position. Though, the one on the left may have straightened up a bit because the guy on the right was on the inside. Without seeing it in motion, we can only critique the most obvious flaws.

^ I know that bit. Contact only carries so far in that equation. Lateral force from body weight is a big deal like you mentioned.

so there raffling a half an R? The only thing R about that bike is the R by the 1098 lol. Hell if thats the case i have an R too lol. the real R looks like this.



Pay particular attention to the forks and exhaust. That alone lets you know if its a real R.
