Wider tires I guess is a valid reason (not knowing the science behind it).

Hans, thanks for your input. It makes sense that the 250 may be able to perform the same line at a lesser amount of lean angle as a larger bike but what if it could lean as much? See what I am getting at?

For example; it's common place for me to start to drag, pick up my knee off the tarmac and lean it until a feel the toe slider. Trust me... your knee down is NOT the limit of lean angle, hard parts are. And if hard parts are, that means you can go even faster while carving the same line, simply by leaning more.
