Honda CBR 600 Roundabout Surfing Knee Down

[falapedro]

Nice! Is the bike all original? Some guy told me that in order to knee down on the F4i you need to buy rearset risers because of the low ground clearance of the foot pegs.

[markypea]

@falapedro Totally original. If you look, it's nowhere near grounding out the pegs.

[falapedro]

@markypea ok. thx :)

[djfranticc]

Nice nice. I'm yet to get my knee down but it will come eventually :)

[markypea]

@djfranticc Just keep gently pushing your boundaries, years later I'm still fairly slow, but I'm smooth and still love knee down more than anything on the bike. As long as I safely have fun without endangering myself or others, or getting in people's way, I'm happy the way I am. ;o)

good work, but as markypea says try to get more lean,

so you only need to sit half your ass off your seat.

sry 4 my bad english ;)

Err, yeah, I am Markypea, ooh who's the video by? Oh yeah MarkyPea. And accompanying text does mention learning still a few years ago. In fact, why do I even bother replying FFS?

[quackenbacker]

yawn. bike aint exactly leaning is it

[markypea]

Everybody's got to start somewhere, I await the video of you with 60 degrees of lean and good form with great anticipation.

Excellent great fun

yo man ... how tall are you? ive been trying to get my knee down...im 5' 8" and 170lbs and it just looks like more of getting your body into position right than getting the bike low enuff...i ride a cbr 929 and im just having a hell of a time getting it down....

im running a 190 55zr 17 on the back...ive heard its easier with a 180 50....any suggestions?

im not sure on how far to slide off the seat either...like half way or 3 quarter?

[markypea]

I'm 6'2" so it's a lot easier for me I would think. I have had a 929 for the past few years and find that the shape of the tank makes it harder. Locking my outside knee in and the fact that it is so wide. I would stick with the recommended tyre sizes, I have always found the 190 to be fine.

In terms of advice there is better advice than I can give on the net. I lean off as much as I find comfortable, work up to it; Generally one cheek off, shoulders to the inside, look through the corner.

Take a look at that one. I found that, and part 2 quite useful. I was doing it all wrong, no wonder my rear tire was used all the way to the edges, but my knee never touched the track. :)

[liamhills]

look around you rmirror and make sure your toe is on the edge o fthe peg!! body stra

[manmuscle1400]

nice 1 marky, like the camera work

[alt101uk]

Some neat moves there, dam roundabouts are too busy up here for that :(

[dirtytoesjay]

nice form, there is one like that near my house, i'm gonna throw on the 1 piece and try it.

[markypea]

Thanks! It looks better on larger roundabouts where you can lean over more and get nearer to the tank, plus you're going about 70-80mph so that helps :o) They're just often a lot busier!

haha i get dizzy
