CORNERING PREFERENCE

I find I put no effort at all into left-hand corners - it just naturally happens. But right-handers are a different story, and I have to really concentrate and work hard to get the line right. Even then I reckon I always corner slower on right-handers than left-handers, and probably lean it over less. Do others have a 'natural preference', either way? If so, what is behind this?

I like right handers but I think it depends on where you ride.
I'm right handed. Does that make a difference?

Lefty here so left corners for me

Hmm, like the theory but I'm right handed and definitely have a preference for left-handers.

i always trail brake through tight corners,seems to help the weak side of preference

Right handed but left corner preference for me. I have no idea why

I am just have trouble staying on two wheels atm

Maybe it`s a subconscious thing because on left hand turns you still have the other side of the road as run off / where as on a right hand turn you only have the edge of the road .

yeah rather corner left at speed. right handed

How about this theory .
When you turn left ,your pressing on the left bar (counter steering ) no problems.
Then you turn right ,your pressing on the right bar but you are also controlling the throttle with the same hand . Thats multi tasking .

only women can multi task, you ask them

Ewok, can tip it to the left near falling, completely different when going to the right. I just acknowledge it takes more concentration for one side. Dunno what it is, always the way, can do donuts on the pegs to the left, not a snow flakes hope in a pizza oven on the right... go figure.

I remember ready something along those lines years ago , sounds reasonable anyway.

We don't have corners in the NT. I can only imagine.....

now that is really sad, sounds like you need to move east

A left hand corner is banked the good way (road camber ) right hand is not .

I'm left handed and I prefer right hand corners..

I always figured it was a brain hemisphere thing

He has more appropriate speed limits

Well, I exaggerate a little. There are a couple of runs in the top end. One is the Litchfield National Park loop road. Once It's fully sealed it will be on the list of austs must do bike roads (around 100km of fun) another is the Kakadu highway (125km of fun). Best ridden in the buildup or wet season when all the terrorists have gone back home.

Me? I seem more comfy on left handlers. After having a down on diesel a couple of years back It took me a while to get my confidence back.

We will need to do the back road to litchfield bill fresh bitumen and 15k of sweepers, and I prefer cornering left am left handed and think its the lack of runoff area on a right hander that is all a mind thing

prefer lefties.... and I'm right handed..... dont know why....

I have no real preference for either left or right hand corners.

I would like Reardo’s thoughts on this
