With Preston doing a great deal of the pre pro testing could it be possible that his size (height - more leverage) is the reason the yamaha does not have a more natural corner feel (when compared to the "better handling" bikes) or is the the engine location...or both...thoughts?
For instance, with the new Suzuki and other suzukis in the past, they try to improve the bike around the edges while not sacrificing what suzukis are known for - as being very nimble and great in the corners. I've always known Yamahas as more stable bikes that were more comfortable in really rough, fast conditions than Suzukis, and I imagine that making the Yamaha corner like a suzuki would require giving up some of that stability.
So in short, no, I don't think Travis' size has anything to do with it.
