The most successful racing motorcycle ever designed had about 29º-30ºrake.
It was the XR750 H-D.
Matter of fact in the last 6 months almost all references to the measurements of the XR750 frame have been removed from the internet due tho the fact some people started to copy that frame design.
Well i have come to the conclusion that this guy is either on drugs or he just likes stirring #$%*...
That quote is one of the funniest things i have read on this site.
I just do not see the improvement with the yamaha front forks.
You still have telescopic front forks and single disk brake.
This is not directed at lucky, because IMO he's a troll. But just in case someone else new to motorcycling is reading this wants to learn something:
There's a huge difference between damping rod forks and a proper modern cartridge fork, and a similar difference between a 40 year old single-piston 2-piece caliper and a modern 4-piston monobloc caliper. Lastly, the larger semi-floating brake disc works better than the stocker.
Exactly, the world of suspensions have come a long way since our bikes were built. On my 43mm GSXR forks there are so many adjustments for rebound and damping it can be dialed in to suit just about anything, show me where this type of adjustment exists on the old Honda forks...
And as for talking in mm's, THESE BIKES ARE METRIC......
So is most of the modern world.....
