270lbs 6ft on a 99FX.

Maybe riding a bacon slicer would be better

 

6" 1 and 98kg. I hear you trips. What I normally do is shift my rear an inch or two and lean over in the direction of the handle bar, either left or right.

 

I am 225 pounds dry, with a lower back injury and back troubles along the shoulder blades as well. I'm also 5 foot 10 inches. The somewhat aggressive seating on my 87 Hurricane cbr 1000 I find comfy and smooth, but I just commute to work at this point.

175 cm and 66 kg. No wonder my bikes accelerates faster than most others...

 

I'm only 5' 4" (162cm) but I weigh about 200lbs (95kg). Yeah, that's right, short for my weight.

 

Suddenly, I'm feeling better about myself. 5'8", 180 lbs. And shrinking.

I like hanging off this bike because it's so stable. I find that if I shift my butt to the inside of the turn, tuck my shoulders down and in, and weight the inside peg, this bike is on rails in the curves. I don't want to hang off too far because it attracts cops. (Damn! Does that mean I'm acting my age?) Also, around here, you never know when there will be a deer just around the bend--or a couple of good old boys in pickups having a conversation across the centerline.

Craigart14,

You make me feel better. Once I was told I am to heavy as oriental. 5'8" and 180lbs.

 

It looks like I lift the fat bastard title.
