Nobody really needs to tuck in on the street. It's not like they're coming out of turn 14 and haulin azz at 140+ on the strait, then setting up to take turn 1 at 100. Lol ;p

I couldn't imagine riding tucked the whole time, I need to sit up straight once in a while hahah.

I'm on 600rr, but since I am short, I am probably more in tuck position than other people. Not full tuck though.

Do you ride like this pic? your butt sticking out? I always try to use my abs and back muscle to hold my body and my back will not arch like that.

On long highway rides... It's actually quite comfortable to get down and put your feet on the back pegs for short periods of time.

+1. It's nice to get to move around and stretch out.
