OK, being a newbie to the sportbike aspect of things... I read my catalogs, flyers. magazines, etc. They show some pretty fancy assemblies called 'rearsets'. What are they/it for?
What are 'Rearsets'?

Not all rearsets move your feet from the stock location. Some are adjustable, some are not.
Simply think of rearsets as the complete foot control housing (bracket, footpeg, brake/shift lever).

Now that tha old guys got their chuckles and woodies take care of,
As stated REAR-SETS are used for a more aggressive riding stance on sporbikes. Most of the time they come with more aggressive grip teeth, move your feet back. This is so they are less likely to scrape the pavement while you are trying to get that elbow done, like Rossi, Pedrossa and Hayden. One thing to be concerned with these things is most times they don't move. Your stock pegs will come up if you go out and pull up on it. These thing won't. Have seen more than one track junkie stuff it cause he pegged his rear-set into the asphalt (the perves are going to like that one).
My advice, unless you are going to a straight track configuration, stay away from these things. No value added to you.
