Not sure what happened to my text, but I'll try again. This one rates right up there as one of my favorites in roadracing. If others have favorites they would like to post, please do so. I like to watch them for morning coffeeCurrent Rides: 82 GS1100E, 00 Triumph 955 Speed Triple:twistedevil:, 03 Kawasaki ZRX1200, 01 Honda GL1800, '15 Kawasaki 1000 Versys

Listed at 5'10, but I think that's generous. Stood right next to him at a bar in Monterey during the WSB weekend in '98, I'd guess more like 5'8"-5'9". Still above average for a GP rider.Originally posted by Buffalo Bill View PostI like the way Schwantz does corners with his head up. He's 5'11" tall, kinda tall for MotoGP.
That was an amazing race, remember watching it back then, probably on Speed Vision? Somewhere buried in a box I've got it on VHS tape.'20 Ducati Multistrada 1260S, '93 Ducati 750SS, '01 SV650S, '07 DL650, '01 DR-Z400S, '80 GS1000S, '85 RZ350

It maybe that the other riders are shorter as rich mention's. There was a rider in WSB named Reuben Xuas rode for Ducati who seemed rather tall. Fun to watch crawl all over the bike. In the above Suzuka race, the layout of the track, is very technical. A straightaway that is probably 2 cars wide at the entrance to a turn turns into 1 car wide. couple of blind corner hills. I enjoy where Schwantz or Rainy are setting up passes 3 corners before the actual pass. that season had all manufacuters in contention with great riders. New MotoGP is just not like that any moreCurrent Rides: 82 GS1100E, 00 Triumph 955 Speed Triple:twistedevil:, 03 Kawasaki ZRX1200, 01 Honda GL1800, '15 Kawasaki 1000 Versys

Marco Simoncelli was an even 6' and was GP250 World Champ in 2008.
Of course with the hair he was 6' 4'.
