Should Passenger be lighter or heavier than the driver?

Post by Fallsdown »

Is there a known preference as to what is faster. Should the heavier person be driver or passenger if both are phisically equal. Are there examples of both? Is it not a big deal? Best if they weigh about the same?

i think the best would be that the rider and the passenger have the same weight :-D :-D :-D
as i know most of the time the most heavy person is the rider, but i don't know if this is the best :-D

weight doesn't matter if the difference isn"t too large, if the passenger has his technique to get the bike in and out of a turn without any accident, it's good enough i think
