I would say I have limited experience on a bike yet I was comfortable enough to slide my 955i when wet and rode smooth enough to put any passenger to sleep in the mountains. Even scrapped the triple collector which is typically only done with slicks on a track. I could ride hard but still respected what could happen any second. I can only imagine what being head to head on a race track is like! Obviously safer than the street but still triple digits with nothing between you and objects exactly forgiving but of composite material and a helmet.
