I'm not saying it's a true "drift" in the sense of say, D1 or FD, but it's a term most people use when a car or in this case, bike, slides around a corner, whether it be in racing or show.
Drifting is not the fastest way through a corner. Besides, flat track racing is not drifting, it's a powerslide and most [if not all of these bikes] have NO brakes or gears. How do you suppose you drift a car without brakes to shift the weight...then without a clutch or gears to get it loose? Anyone and their cousin can leave a camaro in 2nd gear and powerover around some cones...is that drifting?
