the bikes centre line while cornering seated on lose ground.
and moving quickly from a seated to standing position becomes harder.
you have to remember a lot of things on a bike are a compimise..
as any bike is bought by riders of diffrent hights , arm & leg lengths

While I'm not all that tall (6' 1") I do have long arms. And weigh 275. I was originally talking about how I would fit out a Hawk for me, and the kind of riding I like to do....ARH
