This is different to low speed stuff you learn for mod 1 where you pivot turn by shifting your body weight to the outside butt cheek and lean the bike over more, you only do those turns in 1st gear.

Not strictly true, counter-leaning can be done at higher speeds like the police do. Pretty sure FortNine did a video on it too.

Also, pivot turn, did lol thinking about being on mod-1 with front wheel in the air at 12o’clock

I've never been entirely sure why you'd want to do that unless you're on a motard or something.
I had to take my poor mate through some mountain twisties on the VFR after his bike broke down last weekend and we scraped a lot of undercarriage. Partly from the extra weight but mostly because it's tricky to get off the inside of the bike with a pillion.

Depends on bike really. Sports bikes as you’d expect. on the tiger and the multistrada, I was mostly mortard style.

To be fair though, bright is on a twin, hardly the most civilised of bikes low down on revs and speed. Might just be lumpy with messy fueling.
Do remember on the first SV it was exactly that before I adjusted the TPS.
