Lean angle thread

right then. tomorrow my goal is 58 degrees while commuting. I'll verify this with a snapshot from my phone.

I reckon you could do at least 60. Go give it a try
You can do it

I view this gizmo as a review tool only. I ride and enjoy, then get the chance to review the DDA info and the other stuff from my GPS lap timer and have a think about what I could have changed. This has been especially relevant for me coming from the prominent mid range of the 1098R to the more peaky pani R, where I have had to adjust my riding style a bit.
Oh and if some of the scaremongers are to be believed, I am an accident waiting to happen according to my lean angles. Strange, as in 18 years of track riding, I have never had an accident on circuit and always ride well within my own comfort zone.

i hate seeing motorcycles on it's side like that on the road... even sadder that is a Duc... rider should have picked her up straight away!

55 degrees is pretty trick, most I hit was 52 on the street.

ok, you may now call me the baddest bad ... on earth, Just went for a spin around my neighborhood and since I corner better than Marc Marquez, thought I'd post up

See I knew you could do it. Good on you Marc. You are the baddest. And at 120 mph wow.

Now 62 degrees is only 1 deg further.

I know you can do it buddy. Go for it.

 

[kismetcapitan]

what's MOST impressive, is doing 61 degrees lean at 120mph...while the bike is idling

 

[double0]

U mean while the bike hasn't started?

Bike idles around 1.5k

We need a "# of kids playing in close proximity" for the multiplier to this.

Sick RPM readout, too!!!

But that's not how it works. That's not how any of it works.

ah right. true. I, uh, decided to kill the ignition and coast through the corner

EBC was set too high and I was already committed and knew that this would be the Marquez readout corner.

Hate it when that happens.

More lean than Lorenzo can do on a MotoGP prototype on race slicks. Impressive stuff from the Panigale, on street tires!

Is there any actual conversation on this topic in this thread?

Just had my first track day on the 1299s and hit 55 degrees, which is much more than I was expecting. Concerned now that I'm actually over too far. Any thoughts on what a max lean looks like with the stock pirellis?
