Also depends on geometry.......Someone who has dropped their front end or raised their rear end is going to have a different chicken strip than if they had kept their bike stock.

Somewhere in this porn corrupted ECU of mine I have a picture of Doohan, Schwantz, Rainey, and I think Saarinen going thru a corner at a GP. The styles are all so different and the bikes lean angles are dramatically different and yet their corner speed would only have varied slightly...Doohan and Saarinen leaing their bikes over much further on the tire...

Yeah, which means they're probably at the limits of their tires, while the other guys still have more they could use.
