[MrGeati]

No bullshit, no crap talking, just good information in under 2 minutes. THANKS!

Core strength is essential when riding a bike, especially a sport bike. Great video!

I have always had adventure bikes so sat straight up and my arms are naturally bent.

Just got a sportsbike and my wrists were killing me after 30 minutes, I went on three rides of 90 miles in a few days to see if I just needed to get used to but it was so bad. I called the dealer up and said I wanted to take the bike back.

He said I needed to adjust my riding position on a sportsbike. So I went searching on youtube, found this video and I thought "ahhhh! that's what I'm doing wrong". My arms are straight and my weight is constantly on them.

So I went out for two practice rides using your technique and the difference was night and day!

Thanks so much for a simple but yet very helpful video.

Really love these short very intuitive videos. when I go out I have you in my head in all scenarios. 🇬🇧👍🏍

So true, I remember riding for the first-time last year July and getting serious arm pump. I didn't know why until I watch your videos about being relaxed on a motorcycle and the very next day tried to be relaxed, instantly I increased my riding distance by 30 min. Now I can ride my Daytona for 1.5 hours before needing to get off for a brake, it's crazy how I learned trail braking two months later from your videos as well. I can make turn with one hand if needed to with ease, funny how I never did this on a bicycle LOL. Thank you Master MotoJitsu for teaching me the ways of the rider 👍😎

For some reason i can't explain, you sir have the ability to make me fully understand everything i have to know about riding. I guess it's not only me so thank you for your work

[spila]

I'm a new rider. Just rounded my first 5k km's. Thanks to your, and other's advice, I've kept the shiny side of the bike up, so far. Thank you for that! This tip I actually found out myself, but I still need to remind myself often. I ride a sport touring st1100 btw, and this tip definitely applies too.

This is why I think installing tank grips on a sport bike is absolutely essential. I don't understand what makes sport bike manufacturers think that there should be a smooth metallic surface where the rider is suppose to hold on to with their thighs.

[ValenThePowerful]

I actually learned this by accident before I even knew about these videos. I was just cruising down the road and I was wondering if I could control my bike without using my hands. So I started to grip the tank with my legs and started to sway around. from there on I learned to control the bike using my legs rather than my arms

[yassim]

Everything you said is accurate and good information. I do think a lot of guys Including myself do the lion king position just to get a small break a from the correct position. It’s punishing to ride like that for extended period of time. The lion king is a brief respite 🤷🏽‍♂️

[cameronhicks]

Simple and sweet but hot damn do I need to practice this!! I believe this is part of the reason I get arm fatigue, between not “playing the piano” and not squeezing enough my the knees I can see how this brings fatigue

[hassani]

Great info!
In our region its windy and have regular sandstorms i learnt this position while commuting on my first bike Ninja 300. Got handle bars replaced with clip ons to get riding position of Zx6r and it turned out great in regular windy situation. bending on the tank, gripping with legs, loose wrists and eyes on the road!
Alhumdulilah!

I'll never understand, why anyone who's not on the track, would like to sit like that on a bike.

[kamorris]

this is so true and i kind of figured this out on my own after a few months of riding. I would always tend to support myself with my hands and arms(mostly my left hand it felt like) but over time while trying to relieve the strain i was having while doing this I slowly started to realize that i don't need to lean on the grips. Once i stopped doing this things were so much more comfortable and easier to control.

[Skipshift]

😂 There was a guy that used to ride a 636 in my area that rode just like the thumbnail! Had his back arched and everything. I have no idea how he could ride like that without being in pain.
Legs and core are the key on a sport bike.

[futurecorpse]

I have a 2015 R6, and I was wondering why I was hurting so much on my palms, and this just explained it, I was riding it wrong. It's my first bike and I've only owned it for a month, thank you for this video!

[colbyrodgers]

Dude these videos are so informative. Even these shorter ones. I just started riding and I've been curious about body position so this has helped me out a lot since I watched it the first time

[ta]

So true about playing the piano. I started doing this on my 600rr and my hands don’t fall asleep anymore.Thanks

[MasterAaron]

I used to do that when I first started riding. Yzfr125, long journies I would feel so arthritic after getting off the bike.

Luckily my friend's father told me how to sit and grip properly. Great video!
