The picture that I posted is about professional track. 0n the road of course it's not necessary.
True about the smoothness, but I know about Freddie Spencer.
Another very important point is the braking before the curve, I would say probably the most crucial on track, in Italian is called "staccata".
Still speaking about track, the knee out also helps for the stability while cornering, mixed with an aerodynamic factor, but this is quite subjective even for the riders of today.
