How to make the CB1100rs perform better
#18
Saltani: correct. it's not as grueling as it sounds, but you should be holding yourself up with your back and legs to keep your shoulders loose. whenever you see squids go by on sportbikes with their back arched and their heads up (call it "seal" position), thinking they look really cool, all their weight is on their wrists, and they are unable to handle the bike correctly in that position. proper body position will help you take turns and maneuver in a way that is impossible with your weight on the bars all the time.

as for where to read up on this, i regret to say I can't help you. Reddit.com/r/motorcycles is full of riding technique critics who are often particular to the point of brutality, but they will certainly teach you (in fact, sometimes i think it's their #1 passion in life...) also, retaking any local MSF courses for more experienced riders will probably net you a lot of instruction about body position, because a good instructor will point it out if he sees you sitting on your CB wrong.
