 | I recently happened to be riding by where I took my MSF course & tried the course with my M. While I know I can turn the bike around easily and consider myself a fairly skilled rider (which to me means, skilled enough to know my limitations). I found I couldn't get my 93" M to NOT stray over the lines of the figure 8 box. I could get very close...but even after several tries, I still had the front tire pass over the line on the 2nd turn. The course I took was great...I just wish it were manditory for all riders. |

| A cruiser will have a larger turning radius than an enduro. Even with my GSX (and lots of practice), I can't take circles anywhere near as tight as someone on an enduro. I can turn the bars until I hit the stopper - the bike just can't turn any sharper.
