Every bike is capable of so-called "railing", just depends on the rider.

yeah, my "railing" is much different than "railing" the cbarrr. I am much slower on the GS, but it's more fun.

It's scary shit leaning over on a tall bike like that
I always felt like I was gonna tip over. Must take some serious getting used to. |

leaning it never really bothered me. It was finding a body position that was comfortable to lean it that took me the most getting use too. Oh the braking on it is fucking weird too. The telelever system makes it squat instead of front end dive.

It's sportbike natural, it's not GS natural. I probably can ride just as fast or faster not doing it. It doesn't feel retarded coming from a sportbike, but it's just not necessary.
