thanks, i would assume that my bike's stock tires are way better than an EX500's stock tires.

leaning 45º at only 25mph? i should try that tomorrow, a person from the SCLR forums offered to ride w/ me and teach me some stuff. so at least i will have supervision.

he has track experience so i bet he can give lots of tips on what skills to start practicing that leads to a better and more agressive cornering.

45* is usually considered the typical lean limit for most sportbike tires, some will let you get away with more.

you wont see that kind of lean angle very often on the street, but will see it regularly at at track.

so that guy in the picture above is using racing tires which allows him to go that much lower?
