The app is interesting.

Who here rides? Dirtbikes in particular? I have a trials bike (Gas Gas TXT 250), and an enduro (husqvarna TE 150). I couldn't find a trials bike in the app, but it doesn't matter since trials bikes don't really have seats.

I would like to see a measure of standing at a stoplight. (interesting for high seat heights).

Also it would be neat to see a more aggressive dirtbike style arm position with elbows ups.

The options panel lets you place feet on the ground.

mv augusta brutalte 910R (not listed but any brutale in the app is comparable) so 3/4 aggressive riding stance ... so not super aggressive like a sport bike but great for aggressive city riding. pay for it on highways though because you really have to tuck-in anything over 80 plus don't turn your head

Yamaha FJR 2006. 13 degree forward for me at 6'2" 30" inseam. Seems about right.

I ride an XR600R and am standing basically straight up most of the time.

On my current motorcycle and body shape it says 0 degree forward lean, 90 degree knee angle and 94 degree hip angle. The most comfortable bike I've owned, Kawasaki KLR650.

A Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. Just did over a 1000 km on the way to their annual festival, and kept wondering what the “correct” riding posture was. Either HN read my mind or a a bunch of HN’ers are in Goa now.

Kawi ZX25R, small & fun 4cylinder 250cc screamer sold in Asia. Im quite tall, but its still comfy without any mods and I use it daily. The riding position is not that aggressive (cant find it on the site unfortunately).

In saying that - the first time I took it on a long ride out I couldn't sit down for 24 hours afterwards I was in so much pain, but I attribute that to being a stiff old fart. Since then plenty of long rides, perhaps my joints have adapted...
