some people just can't go fast - it might be down to ability but more likely confidence. Sounds like your bike doesn't help if you fewlt more at home on a Kwack straight away. BUt don't try too hard, if it's going to come it will. Don't get hung up on the more advanced stuff, as people have said already, you probably naturally doing it. Defo get some advanced training.

In regard to weighting pegs, it does have an affect on the bike. Lots of racers go on about weighting the outside peg on turns (as well as naturally weighting the inside) and when you are off your seat (fast bumpy or off-road) peg weighting is really crucial.
