As far as body position, I'm not sure the only thing that's making me more comfortable is the less-leaning motorcycle. There seems to be something in my head that likes the position better. Maybe it's a visual thing, with a clearer view of the plane of the road in my peripheral vision. In any case, I'm amazed when I see someone taking corners well, but staying in line with the centerline of the bike.

Maybe it's a visual thing for sure. Head position and how well you can see with your peripheral view has a huge impact on how comfortable you feel when riding.
