We need some little feller on there weighs only 140lbs. See what she'll do.

@Onder is your man !

Actually, weight makes comparatively little difference to true top speed, aerodynamics are far more important, exponentially so the faster you go.

But the point remains coz a smaller jockey would present a smaller frontal area ie they’d be more aerodynamic.

On the bike my brother rode on the salt they would add weight on the swingarm, traction can be a problem.

In a 1/4 mile drag race for every 100 lbs. subtracted from the vehicles weight only gains you .10 second on your ET, and possibly 1 mph

I think it is a moot point
