Default Fast sweepers or slower tight curves

Which are your favorite or preference?

I love tight curves and technical stuff and you got a good idea of what those look like around here this past weekend.

I'd probably have to go with tight curves. To me its like pulling G's. You dont have to go fast to pull a lot.

Sweepers.

The illusion of speed is more profound if you're actually going fast.

Fast is a relative term, one person's "fast" in a sweeper could be another's "fast" in something tighter.

kinks

I ride a busa.

I prefer any corner that is not blind.

True.

What speeds do you see on the roads you ride, through the corners?

Well let's base this on Sundays ride, on 108 we have long sweepers, 100mph-130mph is the norm here, the tight stuff you followed me on, 50-70ish

I know, I know, both are too fast for the street
