Does the 2017 CB1100 actually sound this amazing in person?

#19 rides one pretty quickly through the curves

On the stock 140 rear tire even you can run them until you curl the rubber on the edge without scraping, especially once you remove the ridiculous curb feelers on the pegs.





I have not been able to run them clear to the edge with a 160 rear.

How does one go about learning how to do that without crashing?

I remember a post & video here a couple weeks ago that showed a guy slide out and crash while going very slow and didn't look very far leaned over to me, so I am overly cautious.

Practice and experience. I ride every day, and have for 52 years. One day you lean this far, next day you lean a little further, next day a little further. Each day your confidence builds, and you learn how far you can lean, but it's a slow process. The same thing as learning how hard you can brake. You'd be surprised just how hard you can brake if you need/know how to. Leaning and braking are learned/developed skills.

I didn't understand that crash myself.. maybe there was oil or gravel that he hit. I guarantee you we ride a lot faster and lean a lot further thru turns that that example showed.

there are still any factors which decide about it how good is the actual grip...or how much deep, low you can go
--------------------------------
and at what time / under which circumstances its (start) scratch too...

example : by a 130kg boy it does cratch earlyer as by a 55kg boy with the same bike-setup and general drive and street situation...smileee

Of course you can't lean that far in all circumstances or need to for that matter. Clear dry day 70-80 degrees spirited riding with some friend will have you leaning further than a cold wet day riding by yourself.
