Do you ride it like a Motard or a Sportbike?

[PJFZ1]

Paige gave me some time on the Hyper last weekend, and I did some pretty quick running on it, and found myself liking it more when I road it sportbike style.

I don't see myself becoming comfortable with the foot out upright style, and I'm wondering what the rest of the owners think...

You absolutely ride like a dirt bike. Foot out, the whole ball of wax.

In my opinion, if you can't get more then a 50 degree lean angle on a bike, its not a proper sport bike. Also, if you can't tuck in, with a full windscreen to protect you, its really hard to ride it like a sport bike. From the bench seat, to the low pegs and wide bars, if you ride it like a sport bike, you'll be going too slow.

You've gotta put your leathers on with off-road boots. Get some slicks, set up the suspension for the track and go to town, drifting into every corner and wheelying out. Thats the way to ride that bike, I've tried to ride it like a sport bike and have been completely unsuccessful.

Tye has lots of opinions. And that's okay.

Maybe you need more options. Sportbike on the street, motard on the dirt!

I would love to ride it with the leg out and drifting through corners -be so exiting, but never tried it and really wouldn't know how...so sportsbike style will do me...
