You really can't get an idea what it is like to ride a sportbike by watching MotoGP. Those guys are not human and they are riding bikes that put out over 200 hp. They are also pushing the bikes to the limit. A limit that very far beyond the capiblities of an average person. But, there is nothing like hitting the apex while leaned way over, rolling on the gas, and nailing the throttle as it starts to stand up a little as it rockets you to the next corner. But, even ridding very agressively like that, there is rarely any shake and not much wobble as long as the bike is set up properly.

My Hammer is not stock.
And Yes I get the picture.
