A related question: in some of these photos riders are really hanging off the bike, in others they are almost aligned to the centerline of the bike--can you make a general assumption that the people who are hanging off more are moving faster? (because won't being upright with your bike almost dragging parts just throw you off going faster?) Or is it just riding style? |
if you had a large enough area, you can remain at "full lean" accelerating from 10mph to 100mph without ever changing your lean angle. however at full lean, the difference in speed and body position effects the radius of the turn. (including lots of other things like wheel base and tire profiles)
