No truer words have been spoken. I "thought" I had a good handle on the Vstrom in the twisties. Then I changed my riding position and used more body english in curves. I was very surprised how much more speed I could maintain and never feel that the bike was reaching it's limits. But I did find my limits. I won't be going there again any time soon. But it was fun while it lasted.
