Riding position on a CMX 500?
Honda Rebel owners, how do you usually sit on your bike?
Do you sit close to the tank with your legs touching it, or do you sit more relaxed and slightly away from the tank? Do you tend to sit further forward or further back on the seat?
And what about your feet on the pegs? Do you ride with the balls of your feet on the pegs or with the middle/sole of your feet resting on them?
I started on a naked bike and learned that hugging the tank with the legs gives the most control and also takes pressure off the arms.
But I feel like that doesn't match with the cruiser spirit.
I spent too much time thinking about riding position to be free in mind, so clarification is much needed.
I'm curious to see what feels most comfortable for everyone.
