Personally I have more weight to lose before the bike needs it......but for those lucky people at 6% or less body fat losing weight on the bike makes sense.I don't begrudge those lucky people that can use that advantage...I'm a little jealous...okay a lot jealous, but if they need and/or can use the advantage go for it. For me, I need to still work on the engine before I put the bike on a weight loss program.
