But... what would happen if you transferred weight to the rear with more throttle? More rubber on the road, more traction, less squirrelyness, right? That's what I'm thinking. Getting more weight onto the rear through acceleration delivers increased grip, right up to the point where it starts to spin up.

This of course applies only to the part of the turn AFTER you crack the throttle open, not to initial turn-in.

Kind of the reverse of loading the front before braking hard. You're putting more weight onto that end of the bike and as a result, increasing traction.
