People's favourite fast cornering bikes

**bugjuice** · 23rd April 2007, 18:26

the fastest bike round any corner is the one with the rider who has the biggest balls and the biggest wallet. Any stock bike will be different with every rider on the exact same machine.

Then, you have suspension mods, tyres, surface, weather, humidity, tyre pressure etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

You'd be better off asking how long can you hold your breath in space.

Way too many variables and no straight answer.

Definitely my CB250RS. The wide, grippy tyres and beautiful standard suspension (rear FVQs!) means it can easily out-corner a GSXR. And it's definitely got the horsepower to out-power a litre bike out of the corners.

although current results would say this is not true..

kevin schwantz maybe

I'll second that on BMZ, and in close second (considering production bikes) "It's a Firebolt Arry, the fastest broom in the world"

Mine.

Literally

125GP bikes have THE highest corner speed of any motorcycle. But it still requires a DAMN good rider...

Closest road legal thing you can get is the Aprillia RS125.

Oh and, whoever mentioned the brittan as a great cornering bike, as much as you may hate to hear it, cornering wasnt one of the strong points of the bike. Mostly down to the front forks. But it's still a legend...

I'd fully have to agree with that one...

Valentino could probably corner my bike faster than I could corner his...

Very good gwasshoppergizzards. You are wise.

Off the shelf: MVAgusta F4.
It's already got the stuff you spend the $ on.

Its simple gsxr 750 k6 its on rails

O yes and andrew strout and friends who have ridden the britten would argue about it being the fast cornering bike They all reckon the girder front end was shit and you had no feeling when braking or cornering so no confidence = slow cornering. If im not mistaken andrew strout and john britten had a few arguments about putting a "normal" front end on the britten but john britten did not want to have any of it. If you dont believe me read the britten book talks about it alot.

The question was which one is YOUR FAVOURITE... not which is the BEST.

Aprilia RS50?

**James Deuce** · 23rd April 2007, 21:12

Favourite? RC30 no question. It's a fat, heavy, slow pig by modern standards but that suspension and chassis just plain worked and it was rock steady with knee on the deck and bits grinding off.

Ahhh good times.
