a phrase definition, please............
« on: August 25, 2010, 04:03:44 PM »

I sometimes see the phrase  "sit-on bike"............

In LSR vernacular, exactly what does that mean?

"Sit-on"  as opposed to what?


((Friday morn August 27th I leave Denver CO, bound for BUB 2010!!))

Thanks, folks......       FjLee  Denver CO

My take on it is that a sit-ON bike is just that, a bike (2 wheel motorcycle) that you throw a leg over and sit ON. Usual traditional motorcycle.
A sit-IN bike would be a motorcycle streamliner in which you get strapped inside the full streamlining but are still a motorcycle running on 2 wheels.

Ok....Thank you for the response. 

I suppose like anything else, there are always slight variations.......

I remember last year at BUB, there was this guy that had what I would call a "recumbent m/c"......he sat flat on his butt, legs directly out in front of himself, with the engine directly behind his back.  'busa engine, I think......

The whole package was wrapped in a tubular "cage"........

Anyway......he dumped it at approx 150 mph,  salt flew, but he wound up unscathed.......and the m/c just had lottsa abrasion.......  the bike  did NOT have a chute.........

I talked to him afterwards.....he said his main sensation during the violence was seeing his  "check engine"  light come ON......!!   I thought that was real good humor.

That is the Vision One team. that bike is considered a streamliner since you cannot see the entire riders body from the side when he is in/on it.
