So how does your bike fit you? How would a different bike fit?

It's kinda like getting fitted for a suit. Plug in a little info,
height, inseam, preferred straightness of arms and then check out how
you would look on a variety of bikes.
It's interesting to compare the various sitting positions though. You
can clearly see the difference between the cruisers, the sport bikes and
a handful in between.
See what 20 below zero and a foot of snow does to me. I end up looking
at the goofiest of websites.

It is a cool site, actually. It told me that a V-Strom 650 is worth
investigating.
Naturally, I had to see what would happen with a B-King and a Hayabusa ...

The problem is that it doesn't list sleeve (arm) length as a factor
(my friend with a 35.5" sleeve finds bike with clip-ons much more
comfortable than I do, with a 32" sleeve). That makes a huge
difference in upper body position and comfort, at least to me.
But interesting, nonetheless.

That would be a good piece of info to plug into the formula.

Width of the bars & angle of the handle grips would also be useful
information to factor in.
