You aren't the only one that lifts their feet off the pegs going round a corner. I don't do it on the SV, but as the VRap is a corner magnet, the first time I touched tarmac with my foot was a bit surprising, so now when I feel it going over I lift my boot up, I don't like messy looking scraped boots.
I've never cornered banked over on the SV, its just not me, but I can't help it on the other, that bike just champs at the bit to lean. Peg was riding it once with me behind in the car, and when he almost got his elbow down on a fave bend, I knew I was going to have a lot of fun trying the same
