A guy from one of the other bike forums I frequent built this little web app so you can check out how a bike would fit you. You can put in your height, inseam, etc and see how a bike will roughly fit you. You can even adjust the handlebar height and see the difference it makes.

For example Me at 6' with a 32" inseam:
Stock 6th Gen = 26 degree torso lean
With Helis installed = 20 degree torso lean
New Crossrunner = 5 degree torso lean
Multistrada 1200 = 4 degree torso lean

Check it out

That is pretty neat. Nice find.

So cool!

plugged in VFR800 (obviously) and compared to Crossrunner. Keeping all parameter the same just to get 'apples to apples' comparison, the Crossrunner is SERIOUSLY vertical, as in 5deg vs 27deg with the VFR :ohmy: . Methinks you'll have to keep your arms quite bent to get into it in the twisties. Same ergos as the Ducati Multistrada.

So all things being equal the Crossrunner should be a hoot to ride if what all the mags say about the Multistrada is true (power curve aside of course)

Very cool. I was pleased to discover that, yes, I can fit those "real man" handlebar risers I've always wanted... :biggrin:

Pretty cool stuff!! If you add a second bike to it and slowly scroll over the pick of the bike and guy it will go between both and "shadow" the other bike so you can see both riding positions at once.

Cool app. Thanks for posting this.

Coolest thing ever! I was running the measurement numbers to compare the Tuono V4, the Kawasaki z1000, and the CB1000r. Now I can see them side by side. Thanks!

This is amazing. There is now has version 2.0 up and running. I put in my height, inseam and arm angle, and filled in the new data field for age and it defaulted to the following. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I'm very curious to know how "arm straightness" is measured since 50% doesn't seem to be halfway between fully extended and fully bent.

Plus I can't believe I can only choose 50% as minimum arm straightness. I totally ride my Ruckus WAAAY more aggressive than depicted here

THAT IS FREAKING COOL :fing02: I knew there was a reason I never rode a Honda Rebel :laughing6-hehe:

There. That's more like it...except I'm not 8'4"
...but that's what it feels like.
