Ie speed in and how low the bike will take.

IMHO first you need to brush up on observational skills more than cornering. You need to see a lot more of what is happening on a bike than cagers normally notice, because cagers are not good at seeing bikes so you have to be twice as vigilant. Get safe first and forget about ' how low the bike will go in a corner' for a while, that depends a bit on your tyres but the condition or otherwise of the road surface is more important. You need to treat every vehicle waiting to pull out as if they haven't seen you, I would make sure your headlight is on all the time and also get some extra LED daytime running lights fitted, alchemy parts have a good selection. Too many bikers have heard the phrase 'sorry mate, I didn't see you' as they lie sprawled in the road. Be wary of going much faster than general speed of traffic and don't be tempted to filter when traffic isn't completely stopped, many a biker has come to grief filtering in moving traffic.
