Here is a great article put together by one of the MotoGP photographers showing rider body position at the exact same spot on the track on "almost" similar bikes - All Honda MotoGP albeit different models between teams

nice, thanks.
 
Seeing the photos overlaid each other is really cool. Reading through, much contrast is drawn between Redding and the rest, however there is little mention of the fact that is 6 feet tall. He has about a foot on Marquez, which would explain his seemingly extended riding position in comparison. The bend in the wrist, the shoulder closer to the ground, the clutch lever farther out - all a result of him having much longer extremities.

It was interesting to read the comparisons of those that jumped straight into GP and those that went through Moto 2/3

and high centre of gravity. Bike racing at the sharp end is a tiny man's sport, Pedrosa is like a horse jockey.
 
Took me a while to find Crutchlow in the picture but I finally found him (he's in the background crashed off track).
