Rider Weights

[reiobard]

hey... who you callin' fat?



Just kidding....I am losing weight, does that count.

 

[mtakacs]

I'm 180cm and 91 kgs... but I think I'm not too old

 

[sideslider]

Nope, I do, at 5'3\", 115 lb. Plus, my FZ is red.

is your fz lowered? if not can I see a pic of your foot touching the ground. At 5'5" I thought I was pushing the height limit...

just kiddding about the pic (unless you feel inclined) but man the fz is tall for us little people

I know for ,me comeing from a gz250 with a seat height of 680 mm (27.8 in) to the fz 795.02 mm (31.3 in) I felt very unstable for the first little while... the weight thing though, I am still unsure as to what point the weight effects performance.

No, my FZ has not been lowered. It's been made even taller by the Corbin saddle I recently bought for it. I've been riding tall bikes for a few years now (also ride BMW's) so have just learned to work around it. When I come to a stop, I slide slightly to the left, tip the bike slightly, and can get my left foot flat on the ground. If I need to put both feet down (like if I'm putting gloves on, or getting money at a toll booth) I only have my tiptoes on the ground, not even the balls of my feet. I've learned to push the bike backwards using only one foot. But the bike is so light...

 

[nimzotech]

220 lbs.
-needs more cardio :spank:

 

[Mississippi]

6'-7" and 245lbs. Am I the tallest one so far?

 

[jodysheli]

Y'up 5'11" 205# !!

 

[paul1149]

I'm 5'-10" and about 188#, moderate boned. Wish I was about 170#; need to cut out some evening snacks and work out more regularly.

But a few years ago I was 223# and really out of shape, so I'm doing better. I feel better for it too. I didn't take the poll because of the 55# gap between answers!

 

[keira]

I don;t think this thread was intended for us girlies

5'5" 130lbs, BMI 22 (i.e. the "ideal" for health - take that all you supermodels!!)

'course i'll be tacking on additional 25-35 lbs by next summer, so maybe i'm speaking too soon....

 

[J.Daniels]

I believe my weight is near perfect for a guy 6'-5" tall.I'm concentrating really hard and will do my best to add those nedded 5 inches.

Speaking of BMI, that's the biggest pile of bull**** ever. It was created by a belgian 150+ years ago, and can't relect people today. It also doesn't account for body type, muscle vs. fat mass, etc.

Can you suggest a better measuring system instead?

BMI can only give a rough idea of what kind of shape a person is but its easy to calculate.

This is absolutely true. If you only use the BMI equations, a body builder would calculate as morbidly obese. The only true weigh to evaluate a person's fat index is via water submission/displacement calculations. This is grossly cost ineffective, which is why we rely on BMI instead for most/average people.

I'm 5'10" at 160lbs... right in the heart of the perfect BMI window for my height.:cheer: Now if only I could tighten up that 160lbs into more muscle.

 

[marke14]

Wait are you guys counting your balls as well?

 

[Doorag]

I'm at 2.9lbs/in as well.

 

[Stumbles06]

Well, I'd be a touch over 6', and weigh in at about 92Kgs (whatever that is in pounds???) with gear.
Not much muscle in that either, if I got rid of the fat, there'd be 15Kgs gone

 

[notjohndavid]

Anyone want to know how to get rid of 10lbs of ugly fat quickly? ....

 

[Smittyboy]

Food poisoning?
