Wheelbase: Longer results in better high speed stability, but longer turning radius.
Shorter results in short turning radius, ideal for city, but bike seems unstable high at speeds.
For a good sportsbike, the wheelbase should be short ... but swingarm should be long!
Is this an example of what you want?? |

Yes, this is exactly the kind of information that I am looking for, but also, the "WHY"s... like insanebiker said... what is the logic behind the correlation of the length of the swingarm --> "good sports bike"??
Sportsbikes --> shorter wheel base --> doesnt that mean less stability at higher speeds??
I know the scope of this will be vast, but if we could get some experienced members to contribute, it could be a wealth of knowledge!
