You know, you guys kill me...
Anyway, what does 'top heavy' mean and I want the answer in terms of MCs, not people. I think that's been made abundantly clear.
Those pics of excessive augmentation surgery jobs are just nasty.
A bike that is top heavy, when driven slowly in turns, will feel more likely to fall down than one that is not top heavy. A good example of a not-too top heavy bike would be a cruiser. The engine is mounted low, the seat height is low, which helps lower your weight to the ground.
In my town, every year, they hold a motorcycle competition for LEO's. Motocops from around the state come as do moto cops from Northern CA.
They have to navigate pylons, circles, stuff like that and it is timed. I don't think anyone has brought a C14, the bikes that LEO's bring seem to be HD or BMW. I don't think anyone has won it with a BMW; the HD have the edge in low speed handling. Chalk it up to low center of balance.
In NV, the highway patrol uses only BMW. Our local sherrif only uses HD. Highway patrol patrols highways that have speed limits of up to 75mph. Local sherrif with the HD patrols and area that has top speed of 45mph. Different bikes for different purposes.
