OK

All opinions welcome. I agree with the philosophy that a sport bike is a sport bike and that it was designed with positioning in mind, that however begs the question, why did they change the positions on bikes that followed?
As to core strength etc. I again agree. I consider myself very fit, I have ridden and raced bicycles (on and off road) for many years, and core strength is an integral part of that equation. I am 35, and like many of us I have had my share of misadventure, but I dont see comfort/control issues stemming from that, I see it as a downfall of design and manufacturing issues.
In cycling especially road racing your position on the bike is crucial both for comfort and power.
Therefore I agree that adjustability in ones position is very important, one size does not fit all. Ergonomics can be very subjective.
Please keep the input coming.
Thanks everyone this is a great forum and I enjoy the discussion.
