Next is "steering with the rear." This is a very complex subject to wrap your head around but it's easily understood by going to the parking lot with your bike. Get moving and start riding in a nice circle. Now when you are ready... add increasing throttle and be careful to not add any steering inputs. Did the circle get bigger? Congratz!!!! You just steered with the rear. WTF does that mean? Think about corner exit. A high powered bike will go wider on corner exit simply due to the fact they are accelerating harder. So unless you want to further manage the power via a slower throttle roll on corner exit, then your line must be adjusted to allow for that aggressive throttle roll or you will find yourself off the track surface. Think about that when it comes to the line in linked corners. Now... times are changing. A late model, race ready, liter bike will have a full gambit of rider aids on board to minimize the effects of the bike's personality on the pavement. These include traction control, abs, adaptive suspension, autoblip, quick shifter, custom fuel mappings, ect... ect.. ect.. all aid the rider to ride in a manner that is less point and shoot and enable the rider to push the bike to carry more corner speed. Hope that helps
