Cheers Kal, I see what you mean (and it does make sense) but I'll stand by what I said.
What you're describing is some advanced stuff... basically, you're talking about lifting the front wheel as you come out of a corner (if I understand correctly). It does work, and my CB does it nicely, but this is the beginner's forum.
At low speeds, like "turning from a stop" (or just cruising), the throttle can help you keep your line. More gas will stand the bike up (unless you lean more) and less gas will let the bike drop into the turn easier.
If you want to get on the gas "AND" tighten your turn, you better lean into it and push down on the tank with your outside knee, while keeping as much weight as possible on your outside foot... but that comes down to a matter of faith in the end. I might not be the fastest one around, but I'm not exactly a "tricycle squid" either... Speed safe brother..
