"Actually you want to start rolling on the throttle as soon as you get the bike turned. You shouldn?t wait for the apex or anything else. If you?re just steady on the gas the bike will decelerate," Thanks Stuman, that explains my head shaking.

You should be steady on the throttle up to the apex this allows the front to bite. Once you get to the apex, roll it on...roll it on too fast, you'll get a slide, roll it on too slow and you'll be shakin your head down the straight...like me.

okay so heres my findings. On turns where the turn in speed is slow, such as a haripin, it really benefits to "back it in" because you are doing a lot of the turning in a more upright position, thus avoiding tucking the front wheel going into the turn(bigger contact patch). However on fast turns, it seemed a lot more stable to be knee down and using a more road race style(brake,turn,roll on the gas) There's a great turn at Grange which is a double apex that really can be fast when you pick a roadrace line.

Is it a product of style? I will find out this weekend at Grange. I will time roadrace laps against more showy motard sliding laps. Who knows maybe this is why its such a cool sport, wrung what you brung!

Something's buggin me. I ride both a sport bike and a supermoto bike. I just finished the Level 2 at CSS and learned how to properly lean off a bike on their 'lean bike'(amazing tool by the way) Now thats on a Kawi 636. With a 'standard' type bike with bars wouldn't you hang off the same or is there some inherent difference to the sitting position, or bars etc...?
