I used to love taking my VTR250 through Twilight Road. Taught me shitloads about how to handle a bike in conjuncton with a hairpin or seven.
However I am not fast and haven't ridden enough bikes to justify having a favourite.

GSF650 Bandit. Just as flickable as its stablemate the GSR600 but more fun. Not as fast a cornerer in terms of flat-out speed as a track bike (obviously) but if you feel the need to change direction repeatedly in a short period of time, it is definitely quick.

Those are words of wisdom, and they would apply to most of the rest of us as well. Although we may not all be aware of thatOriginally Posted by riffer

A couple of favorite experiences that stood out for me were a 97 FZR600 a while back and recently a K4GSXR750.
I've also ridden an 07 Fazer and thought that was pretty good around the faster sweeping corners.

I don't know - you seem to have attained more lean in your Avatar than I have...you also appear to have acquired the number 46......

Ummm , I don't think I'm number 46, but I think I took the photo.
I thought briefly of buying an AGV #46 helmet but it would sort of be at variance with my monumental chicken strips...

anyone got a schwantz helmet? my suzuki GP125 is my fave cornering bike, even though i crash coz it scrapes stuff.
Sorry Officer - I wasn't speeding, i was qualifying...

As far as I know the fastest cornering bikes would have to be 125 GP bikes the only thing that touches down is your knee only problem is the crybabies that ride them nowdays so I got rid of mine . when it comes to the most fun I say it has to be Motards but you end up with a sore gut from laughing . When it comes to fun with road legal bikes , If it can outrun a cop it's roadlegal. I also remember my old GSXR 1100k being a lot of fun , no ground clearance, shite brakes, but freeakin huge powerslides at seriously stupid speeds (ex father in law seriously pissed off at being passed at 180 sideways )
THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS ARE FOUND OUTSIDE OUR COMFORT ZONE

Bigger bikes are slower around corners
Smaller bikes are faster around corners.
A 250 will easuly be much faster around a corner than a 1000 or a 600 or a 750
A 125 will be faster, it's all about weight.
Fastest will certainly be a 125 GP bike followed by my bucket.

My favourite? GSX1400 of course. Corners real well and side to side transitions are quick. Love it
If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.
