How might we simplify the process of learning to ride for new motorcycle riders?

A comfortable ride which fits their body type. Often times a "cool" looking bike can be a driving factor as well.
The clutch tends to be the most difficult aspect of learning to ride.
Generally a cruiser is the easiest to handle with its low center of gravity and low seat height, however, standard/sport bikes are typically more appealing to new riders.

Understanding the ergonomics.

Cruiser

Seat Height | 27.85"
Wheelbase | 62.5"
Fork Angle | 30°
Foot Position | Forward
Triumph Rocket III Roadster, Kawasaki Vulcan, Suzuki Boulevard, Yamaha Bolt R-Spec, Honda Rebel 500

Standard/Sport

Seat Height | 31.75"
Wheelbase | 55.5"
Fork Angle | 23°
Foot Position | Standard
Standard | Yamaha XSR900, Honda CB 300, Triumph Street Triple, Yamaha FZ6R, Suzuki GSX S750
Sport | Kawasaki ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R125, BMW S1000RR, Honda CBR1000RR, Honda CBR650F

Average Motion

Seat Height | 3.9"
Wheelbase | 7"
Fork Angle | 7°
Foot Position | Follows Rotational Trend
As a motorcycle changes from a cruiser position to a standard/sport position the stance angles forward and the wheelbase shrinks. Knowing this I can find a rotational point in which moving the primary stance components can change from cruiser to standard/sport.

Sketching

Having found the pattern in the position changes between riding styles, I developed the concept of having a motorcycle that could change positions.

Kaishi provides a platform for new riders to learn which riding style they prefer by changing positions. This position change allows them the freedom to test what works best for them. Having developed this concept, I set out on sketching how to best achieve a form to fit this motion.

Prototype Development

Using methods such as 3D printing, CNC machining, and vacuum forming I created a quarter scale model of Kaishi.

The model is capable of changing seating positions via screwing or unscrewing a bolt positioned where the linear actuators would go. The footpegs are magnetic to allow an easy transition between riding styles. Similarly, the left side panel is attached magnetically for access to the inner components.
