True, look at the chicken stripe on most bike back tires... it's the stripe where 98% of the riding is done, in the middle 20% of the tread area... when a motorcycle as 10,000 iles on it and the rubber nibs are still on the outer edge of the tread, that bike is ridden by someone that can't lean it down...
That having been said, 99% of all people driving performance cars, the Camaro, the Vette, the Lambo, the Porsche etc... haven't the capability to reach the abilities of the car...
Go to a track day, and watch people go from one extreme to the other.... They'll have abysmal times lap after lap and then all of a sudden, they launch it off the track into the dirt... Why, they tried to go faster and didn't have the ability... I applaud their efforts to get better and go faster...
