As Hayden explained, the move to 800cc machines in 2007 will mean "the rider's weight is going to be even more of a factor".
He should read this forum before he makes baseless generalizations though...

just cause this forum is smarter than the rest of the world (with the exception of the few Suzuki riders) doesn't mean you gotta jab him with a stick.

Re: NTAC: Cyclist
Riding the sport bike and my normal road bike (bicycle) have very well complemented each other. The riding position on the 600RR is aggressive, but not as much as my road bike so sittign or standing on it for a coulpe hours has been no big deal. Cornering on the motor has translated very well into cornering on my cyclocross bike offroad. I've always been very dynamic riding the CX, but I'm much more likely to move completely off the saddle and hang a thigh on the top tube to get around something.

if you drop the tire pressure a little it will make the circle wheelies easier.
