    • @octavioescott1022
      @octavioescott1022 4 роки тому +2

      It’s ground clearance and frame structure. Suspension plays into it (more so on the track) but the biggest things are how much you can lean (ground clearance) and the consistency of the frame (no flex).
      That’s why so many Harley guys change out their rear shocks for a little more ground clearance. It makes a world of difference- compression and rebound adjustments for the street are just gravy...

    • @BSoBadd87
      @BSoBadd87 4 роки тому

      @@octavioescott1022 Interesting... I'm a car guy and know very little about motorcycle suspension behavior.(thanks for that.👍) The high weight and limited lean make their riding styles resemble superbike racers of old. I also like the loose rules package. Air cooled vs water cooled vs turbocharged. Where else are you gonna see that? Can't wait to see more.
