I can't touch what I could do on a sportbike in the corners on my DRZ... but I will say that I enjoyed riding it 100x as much.

I could ride decently through the twisties on 70/30 tires... however they didn't last long and were literally tearing apart because of the speed. Though I didn't set any land speed records, I did impress myself with how I could at least keep the sportbikes in the same zip code during the rally last year.

also learned that I have to carry a lot of speed through the corners as there is shit for acceleration out... lol
