Advice on improving body position
Hey,
Im looking to get some general advice on my body position for corners. I usually practice on some smaller 150cc’s as it’s a little cheaper.
Here are some photos - Looking forward to hear some advice as there’s plenty of people that ride way better than me :)

Your body position is better than 95% if this sub.
You tell us. How's it look to you?

Im pretty new. Started the small track riding in november 2025. So I feel there should be plenty of people having more knowledge ofcourse.

Eyes up looking through the turn…. Maybe. Hard to tell. But that seems like always good advice

If it works, it works. Do you get front end chatter at all? I feel like you could lean inwards somewhat more with your upper body, sticking elbow out more, but if track is really tight there may not be much time 🤪

Your BP looks fine.
From my limited 125cc racing, I think it's about how little you can brake and how long you can pin the throttle.

I am seeing a LOT of this happening at go cart tracks. You start dragging knee because you are on a tiny bike, going really slow and it's easy, and it becomes a crutch. Try to go a few laps without touching your knee. You aren't a tripod.

You should be advising us.
However, why the fuck are you looking at your knee? Is this the first time getting knee down? Because absolutely I would be looking at my knee like holy shit, thats acceptable.
But look up.
That's my novice advice, from someone who can't lean anywhere near as good as that. So probably best ignore me.

They arent full size bikes. Since theyre a bit smaller it might look more impressive than it is

The only problem that I see, is the quality of the guy shooting the pictures 😅
