How To Ride a Motorcycle - Low-Speed turns

A quick how-to regarding executing low-speed turns on a motorcycle.

It's easy to ride fast in a straight line. It takes more skill to execute a proper turn at high speed. But even veteran riders have trouble properly maneuvering their bike at low speeds.

I hope this helps.

@colosistvan Thanks!!! There are a lot of videos out there of people just showing-off instead of actually trying to teach something...it's douchebaggery at its worst.

I have a 2007 R6, and Ive noticed (fairly new rider) that it does not turn as easily as my ninja 250. Its like the tires grip the road and want to turn against where I want it to go. Does that sound right of this sport bike? Do you notice a difference with turning?

thanks man

Awesome video. My biggest fear when first riding was making a right turn leaving my driveway lol. Believe it or not. I would just always go out too wide. But this video would have answered all my questions!

@kuhlka Like I said, some people will disagree.

@krayziesensei So what's getting me out of the left turn? Do I hold the lean (counter steer) until i'm out of the turn? In other words, what direction does the front wheel need to turn in mid corner? 

[kuhlka]

Interesting exercise to try in a large empty parking lot is to start out at really slow speeds (<10mph) and initiate a turn. As you have the bike leaned over, gradually add throttle and noticed what happens to the steering as you attempt to keep the same lean angle and accelerate.
