Want to see if your next bike purchase will fit you well?

Interesting online app for motorcycle ergonomics:

http://cycle-ergo.com/

Input your height, inseam length, and preferred bike. Then see roughly whether you'll fit the bike or not.

That's pretty cool. Tells me I'll have more forward lean on the new Tiger 800 than I expected.

Neat. Looks like I'd be pretty comfy on a speed triple. :devil:

Totally useless. There's no option for gut size/shape; it sez I could fit on a Sportster... yeah, riiiiiight! :laughing:

Worst anti-gut bike ever made, the Ducati Supersports from 1999 on. I remember reading a review from the portly Fred Rau in MCN stating that he could not ride this bike because the protruding tank pad pierced his gut. :laughing:
