Default I don't like going down!

ok when the smutty minded folks have cleared off, here is my problem. There are certain sections of my regular *cough* track that are considerably inclined with bends to negotiate at the end of them. I am talking more of slightly slower bends generally but even faster sweeping bends can be a little off putting if the rate of descent leading to them is quite severe.

There are times when I know for sure I could be heading in to these bends a whole lot quicker but am tending to really get off the gas and do my braking well in advance.

I have been thinking that it could be the riding position of my bike which is obviously sport focused which is leading me to feel less comfortable than I might be.

I am sure that with a naked or bike with higher bars this would not be the case...so therefore the question is....

Those of you with present or past sportsbike riding experience,(and here I mean in a spirited but not stupid manner) how do you prepare for the above kind of situations?

I am real curious.
