I can do full-lock turns pretty easily on the ninjette. It's a little more challenging on the RT, and it's quite challenging on the 10R. Some of the differences are due to weight, but steering geometry plays a big part as well. Some people recommend using the rear brake to control the bike during these, but personally I don't use that technique and typically stay off the brakes altogether.
