    I have a feeling this might be a litte dig at my passenger request:Dsome of us do ride with our wives(or whoever)in my case all the time.
    A passenger ergo would be an enourmous help.
    If your post wasn't directed at me,I apologise profusely.:D

    I've made an update that sounds simple but is worth bumping this thread: images are no longer centered on the seat by default. What this means is that comparing motorcycles is much more effective now. Previously as you switch between bikes, you'd see the entire bike shift due to a differing seating position or seat height. Now the bikes will not shift (unless you opt to center on the seat via the checkbox) so you can more easily see the exact differences between two models.

    Here are a few examples of interesting comparisons to try now:
    Aprilia Tuono V4R vs RSV4
    BMW F650GS vs F800GS
    Suzuki SV650 vs SV650S
    Triumph Street Triple vs Daytona 675


    Also comparing ground reach of different bikes is easier now as a result.

    Just stumbled upon this. It's amazing.

    Is there any way to also make the simulated rider stand? With the ability to see standing and sitting, one could make better decisions regarding handlebar risers and handlebars.

    I must have missed that option. Judging by what's going on these days, that may not be enough and the simulated rider may put a knee down (which could be good for sport bike positions).

    This is fantastic helped me work out the ergos on my triumph project without all the trial and error generally associated with such modification.
