Significant Technical Input
Yeah, it's kinda like what the ricey-bike pilots call 'getting up on the pipe'. Due to camshaft and manifolding, timing controls and exhaust the bigger and more wild bikes are fairly strong to about 4000-6000 r's then look out! That's when everything comes together and the bike tries to fly out from under you. Now you can understand the lay down position - it's not for starting from a standstill as much as it is when you're already going 60+ mph...
