You said fastest cornering, not in a straight line

Too many variables to be entered into. Camber of the corner, direction, sharpness, double apex or not, hairpin, on the track or on the road?

Are you talking all round? You may as well as said, whats the best bike? (What the people come out and play)

And to just clarify that....it was on its center stand aye Rob? and you were blocked in aye Rob? and there was no way you could/would get the bike out of where it was aye Rob?.....

I've gotten out of tighter situations before... I was quite happy just sitting on the Trumpy, giving it a few revs...

NC30

By a long way...

Thinking about that one corner I saw my friend Leon take, I'd have to rate the Yamaha TZR250 with a Pilot Power front and Supercorsa rear as a pretty good bike for late cornering techniques, and considering vamr's post of the 500 2-stroke GP bike, I'd have to agree with that one more...

But then again, getting hold of a 2-stroke GP bike isn't exactly like going to Dick Smith to buy some useless crap...

At the end of the day, it probably comes down to rider and bike familiarity... Like DMNTD on his highly overpowered ZX-10 going up the Kaimai's on Saturday... the bike was lying mere centimetres off the road (huge huge huge lean angle) and Chris had to keep fiddling with the throttle cause the back was spinning up...

Well...

I've ridden the XB12, the GSXR1000K7 and the 675.

Out of those three, its the gixxer, with the 675 very very close behind.

But all three are better at the limit than I will ever be.

yeah, true, what corners... CT110's are the bees knees in carpark situations... you just come up to a corner drop a gear, and just lean it over till the pegs scrape and open the throttle up...
