• It's not so much the bike, more the cornering technique that I was trying to illustrate.

    MTB is very similar to the top photo - weight over the top of the bike and through the front wheel coming into the corner, with the rear (potentially) a little loose.

    Corner a mountain bike like the chap on the Moto GP bike and you'll not have a great time.

  • Im now lost. Presumably you are looking at off road motor bikes. I thought you were considering a road bike.
    I know nothing about off road motor bikes apart from an ‘interesting’ ride on a Suzuki 125 MX race bike - never again! I was superman before superman was a thing!!

    Bear in mind I know close to nothing about motorbikes.

    Is the only way to get a road bike round a corner to hang off the inside in a way that guarantees a little lie down on the tarmac if the front wheel washes out?
