Psssh.. look at a 1990 KX 125, a major stepping stone in motorcycle technology and years ahead of its time, inverted forks, perimeter frame, KIPS power valve technology, plush KYB cartridge suspension that could land stadium jumps, and unmatched cornering and handling. And guess what, with the rider seated the rear was lower than the front.
Ass in the air doesn't = better.
