I guess this is part of an old argument, and maybe I'm too easily influenced by the automotive media on such matters. The below video is partly responsible for my perception on the matter.

I used to ride a Honda Hawk back in the early 1980's, my experiences with road wash on public streets would certainly dampen my enthusiasm for going all out around blind turns so often found on mountain roads.
I'd probably be a little more adventurous in an AWD Porsche 911 or Subaru than any motorcycle I can think of.
