Riding a supermotard the correct way is totally different than riding a sportbike. Since I do both, I've had to change my style on the SM in order to go faster. When I 1st started riding the sm, I was more or less doing it the roadrace way (knee out). After a season or two of getting schooled by the mx style riders, I had to change.

And yes, it feel very weird.
Sportbikes feel WEIRD!

not that I know what I'm talkin about but the road race body position works for wider sweeping turns. Foot out and opposite lean is moto-style to get around tight turns faster and works better when you have high bars like a SM or MX bike.

This guy is showboating, not looking for the next turn.



These guys are racing, making time.


National Champ in the alligator enduro, FL. Head position is right where the mirror should be
