Default Fast sweepers or slower tight curves

Which are your favorite or preference?

I love tight curves and technical stuff and you got a good idea of what those look like around here this past weekend.

I'd probably have to go with tight curves. To me its like pulling G's. You dont have to go fast to pull a lot.

Sweepers.

The illusion of speed is more profound if you're actually going fast.

Fast is a relative term, one person's "fast" in a sweeper could be another's "fast" in something tighter.

True.

What speeds do you see on the roads you ride, through the corners?

kinks

I ride a busa.

I prefer any corner that is not blind.

Depends on the bike I'm riding.

The motard: Deals gap type curves
The R1: Cherahola skyway (with no cops) FTW
The BMW: west virginia hiways where you can keep the cruise on 70 and damn near drag a peg
