BTW Signet, this was an x-racer, moto journalist riding and testing the GS 650 and yes I am talking about the twisties only. In addition, riding on the street (single pass) is much different than riding round & round, over and over again on a well groomed TRACK, which you refer too. Also, because the street typically has uncertain road conditions such as gravel, oil, water and blind turns, it only allows one to ride at 7 to 8/10, thus leveling the playing field of 1000cc sport bikes.

I hope this clears things up for you.

It does, Mike... and all of a sudden it sounds significantly different from your typical pompous and bloated statement in your first post... THROUGHOUT has a different meaning, you might want to look it up in the dictionary!

You don't really need to describe street riding to me, Mike... just learn to express what you REALLY mean, your energies are better focused that way, it seems.
