How you sit on your #motorcycle affects everything — from comfort and control to braking, cornering and fatigue.

In this episode of Better Riding, Michael Mann is once again joined by expert #motorbike coach Mark McVeigh to explain how riding position and motorcycle setup can transform the way your bike feels on the road.

We look at:
– How to improve your riding position
– Common motorcycle setup mistakes
– Why light hands and a stable lower body matter
– How posture affects vision, braking and control
– Why comfort is a safety feature, not a luxury
– Simple adjustments that reduce fatigue and improve confidence

Many riders struggle with heavy steering, sore wrists, neck pain or a bike that just feels hard work — often without realising their ergonomics and setup are the cause. This video breaks it down into practical, road‑focused advice you can apply to almost any motorcycle.
Whether you ride a sports bike, naked, adventure bike or tourer, understanding your riding position can help you ride more smoothly, with less effort and more control — especially on real roads.
