Case in point, you need to be comfortable, and develop your own style. Being a little crossed up gives you more ability to work the bars and recover from a moment than hanging off dramatically, although that also has its own benefits. The most important thing is to use a position that allows you to relax your arms, bend the elbow, etc.
Here is one of the other very fast guys from our local series. Drastically different positioning, similar speed.

True.
There will always be exceptions. A few of the very fast guys I know prefer the more upright style in your first picture. Almost every one of them comes from an MX background.
Still, Eric's form is more "textbook" proper.
There is a huge difference in a fast guy with an upright (not crossed up) position and a newbie trying to look like Doohan.
