Erunanethiel Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Does anybody have data for center of gravity heights of motorcycles? No matter the model. There really isn't much info on the net about the subject. Please share them if it is without a rider onboard. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faffi Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 If you read German, or are willing to read google-ish https://www.motorradonline.de/test/handlingtest-konzeptvergleich.318659.html https://www.motorradonline.de/fahrwerk/fahrwerksspezial-teil-4-balance.403707.html https://www.motorradonline.de/schraubertipps/masse-gewicht-schwerpunkt.407803.html https://www.motorradonline.de/werkstatt/technik-fahrdynamiksicherheit.222272.html A bit surprising to me is that by lowering the CoG from 800 mm to 500 mm, using 160mm wide tyres on average (120 front and 200 rear), to corner at a speed that demand 30 degree lean with the taller CoG would require only an additional 3 degrees of lean, up to 33 degrees.
