The proper body position on a motorcycle:

When riding, you should sit far enough forward that your arms will be slightly bent when holding the handle grips. This will permit you to easily and comfortably reach and operate the controls.

• Allows you to sit far enough forward that your arms will be slightly bent when holding the handle grips.
• Allows you to sit as far back as possible and have to stretch when trying to reach the handle grips.
• Makes you lean over the bike, requiring your arms to hold you up.
• Allows for your knees to be kept far from the gas tank.
