Jordan,
If I am totally honest being conscious of countersteering and on occasion applying some mid corner did bring a different aspect to my riding. Having this knowledge I would have to suggest makes me a safer rider than I ever was.
Despite me having a bike with far superior chassis and suspension components to anything I have previously owned, I am not sure that I am faster...but certainly far more confidant due to being more in control...mentally if not physically. If that makes any sense?
