i think you've missed out on something very important mate, the way you use your head for cornering. i've been riding since i was 4 years old, it's something i've noticed over the years. if you keep your head focussed in a straightline your cornering will be sloppy, however look where you are turning and the bike will naturally go that way. just ym two cents :)

You are a MORON! You're teaching WRONG riding techniques. You need to read "A Twist Of The Wrist 2" by riding legend Keith Code. If you get the DVD, he welds a handle bar onto a bike that won't steer it at all, to PROVE that throwing your body weight around does ALMOST NOTHING!

Get some REAL advice from REAL Veterans before you start teaching people DESTRUCTIVE riding techniques!!

If u want GOOD riding advice from someone with DECADES of knowledge, buy "A Twist Of The Wrist 2".

expert village? no wonder... Ok. so turn left to turn right and turn right to turn left. Got it!!

@elbarbque HAHAHAHA fucking epic saying "that sound like a recipe for ROAD RASH UP THE ASS!"

[ridingwithrocket]

@elbarbque It's called counter-steering and it is the only way to turn a motorcycle effectively, quickly and smoothly. That was about the only thing this guy said that was correct.

[elbarbque]

WTF???!!!!! did he just say to turn left you "push" the handle bar right and to turn right you "push" the handle bar left??? that sounds like a recipe for road rash up the ass

@groscave23 thank you i no i will have to take it SUPER easy for awhile as if i got something like a sv650 but its an amazing bike for a good price and i cant resist so i think im gonna get it and keep myself in check for awhile to make sure it dont get out of hand because it is a insanely powerful bike but thanks for the positive comment

[groscave23]

@wannabrockstar123 Indeed, it is a massive light beast but with brain AND watching AND understanding a twist of the wrist 2 by keith code, it MIGHT not be too much.

@nachtkriechen you are the dumbass actually listen to what he says befor you write up your wall of text asshole

[wannabrockstar123]

im 16 and im gonna get my bike license i have rode many dirtbikes yz250f's a couple 450's and so on but not many streetbikes i only onces i rode was a katana 750 and a ninja 650 and i could handle them pretty good not amazing but i could keep the tire side down and i found a r1 in amazing condition cheap and i was wondering if i could keep control of that massive beast or is it to much for me?

@kalamaloo ok I'll try that on my 200

but what about cruisers? my cousin had one and letting me try it out, I know it handles different from a sportbike, I'm just wondering its cornering capabilities, you know what I mean?

[kalamaloo]

@acidongitim To a point yes, Look too far and you will cause yourself to be un-balanced just play with it and see what works, If you're turning your head 90 degrees though you need to cut that out :) personally I'd go with a 35-45 degree angle
