[QUOTE="DieselTech, post: 1300670, member: 74999"] Rich, Thank you so much for your explanation, it makes sense to me. I'd agree that it is a combination of my riding style and possibly the bike setup. I'm a recreational sportbike rider - not a racer, and frankly I wouldn't be able to ride the GSXR for very long before it would make my wrists hurt too much to enjoy riding it (10 minutes was long enough to make them hurt). Since this was my first experience on a bike of this "caliber", I just wasn't expecting it to handle so much differently (or at least it seemed to me), so I was not confident on the bike. I'm sure with some ride time I'd adapt to it's handling traits just fine. Can you describe what is meant by "counter steering" on a bike? In my mind, it would mean steering in the opposite direction of that which you wanted to go, akin to turning the wheel into the direction of the slide in a car - like drifting. Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
