heya,
been putting in some good practice time and have a question on standups........both feet on front, standing while the bike is coming up.......I see people leaning back and others with their eggs on the tank. pros and cons to both. I don't want to learn and then relearn. tired of not seeing over the front while ridin em. seem to crap myself with the left on the rear so staying on the front.

left foot on the rear helps me a lot and keeps my body more straight im 5'8 and when i do it like that i have no problem to see in front its weird at first but try it a few times and im shure ull like it better that way. :YEAH

 

i would say to always start with both feet on front pegs..when ur pulling it up on the highway you should be leaning forward when u close the throttle then as you open the throttle pull and LEAN back..lol...im 5"7' and Ride an R1..i can see perfectly over the bars..after ur in the wheelie and in the BP lock ur legs out and move in sync with your small throttle manipulations..if you're arms get tired move to the rear pegs it takes the strain off when doing those long mo fos..

 

Don't tea bag..it looks gay as hell. Find the neutral position that is most comfortable..it is in the middle of the 2 ways u mentioned.

 

wat do u mean by tea bag

 

when ur humping the tank.

 

 

I have a friend who is about 4'8". Anytime he does a stand-up that is his only choice. His arms fully extended, bent over the tank. Its funny as hell. I come close to falling off my bike every time I see his do that, it never gets old.
